[QUOTE="Bun-Bun, post: 3961070, member: 584852"] Even worse it is on teh back of the unit! lol Alpine has a switch on it that turns its pre-outs into highs, mids, lows instead of fronts, backs, subs. Designed specifically for active setup's. The crossovers can go a wide range of frequencies with octave steps of 3,6,12,18, and 24DB. At least I think it goes down to 3... And back to the screen... the biolite screen is much more crisp then the x-991. All I can say is when I went to the dealer and looked at the x-991 (which was the deck I intended on buying at the time) I said to myself... why would I pay $900 (CAD) for this cheap plastic looking thing? and the volume knob just felt flimsy... I was concerned with the biolite screen on the alpine not having color but now that I have it I wouldnt have it any other way. All this flashyness on other decks takes away from what is important. Functionality and quality. That and the biolite is just so crisp and easy to read and has relaly cool animations on all its menus (and major holidays [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG]) And then I saw the Alpine for $300 less (and I got them down another $300 [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG]) and went yeah!!! and the audio quality is awesome and if you plan to plug an ipod into then there is none better then alpine.
