I would like to get $180 for this h/u, only $7 more and you can have the aux imput cable tha cooks via Ai net and has 2ch rca plugs for an imput.

It does not come with a cage, i never got one for it since i only bought it last week. It does come with a remote though.

There is no rubber ring around the volume knob either, when i recieved it the rubber ring had expanded causing the volume knob to not pop out, i just removed it so it would work.

It works flawlessly, plays scratched CD's just fine..if you tend to scratch them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hide.gif.2d479cfd917eedfe201353b91522ceab.gif

This h/u will do active 3 way active crossovers.

Id give it a 9/10 because the rewind/fastforward buttons are faded. You can see them fine at night.The face itself has no scratches on it and it folds out smoothly.

Here's some specs off crutchfield about it:

FantomFace XL motorized stealth faceplate

wireless remote

20 watts RMS/50 watts peak x 4 channels

7998 and 7897 are the same except for the display and the 7897 has an internal amp, the 7998 does not.

P.S

This h/u will go active using internal amp...ive tried it and it works great //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

What are the main differences between this one and its *big* brother? Besides the screen from what i see...

 

[supa_c 5,000+ posts]

Just an internal amp and the buttons cant be changed amber.

I forget where you are in cali but if you want a demo i can show you if you are close enough.

i had both the 7897 and i have the 7998. the 7897 is ****in awesome but hter is no way it's better than my 7998. the 7998 has higher preout voltage on average (test were done ona few and the volatage was lower than the claimed 4v)and the 7998 sounds a tiny bit cleaner, most likely bc of the internal amp. the 7997 i still a ****in awesome hu though and the graphics do look a litl better than the 7998s. greta deal on the last on alpines real hus.
