Looking at the 880prs and it says it has a rca input. Can i use a 3/8" to rca to plug my ipod into the headunit or do i have to buy the ipod adapter thing.

you can use aux. inputs.

tee. i know that.
but are you seriously honest that he will be able to hear the minute upgrade in quality that all that work running wires and setting up the crossovers will get him?

99% not in my oppinion.

it might pull the soundstage up a bit. maybe clear up a bit of cancelation.

the best think IMO for a "upgrade" for this system would be better aiming of the midrange and\or tweeter, some deadening in his mid range locaion (doors im guessing), and time alignment.

going that direction would yield a much more audible gain in quality at this point.

as i said before, it might be fun, but with the current equipment, its not worth it. but again, thats just my 2 cents. i will never go passive again, BUT thats just me.

you did but apparently are oriole didn't //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I would love to add deadener to the door or try a different location for the mid/tweet. But i think if i took my door apart again it will never go back because it is falling apart. Basically im trying to justify buying a $300 headunit like the 880prs or higher end unit. Will i really notice any different going from a panasonic Cq-c8300u to a 880prs.

well if you want to go active i recommend the 880. it has 3-way xover, time alignment and dual 16 band graphic eq's. it has everything you need to go active

going active is one reason i want to get it plus i love the way it looks. But if im not going to notice any difference i dont really see the point in paying that much.

well the 880 has the xover to go active, it has TA, and its dual 16 band eq is about the biggest eq you will find in a headunit

The 880 will own that Panasonic in every aspect.

Once you go active, you don't go back //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Do you think there's a good chance of you swapping out the speakers you have now as you get further into this disease... err, hobby?
