[QUOTE="onefastsi, post: 3224179, member: 577070"] I wouldnt say NIGHT AND DAY...I don't see that...however my Rockford Fosgate does sound a bit better...but is i the 9 volts? Is it the CD? That old radio was some fine equipment back in the day...were the iDA is a different animal. The only thing that was a bit dissapointing is the bass reproduction. I'm used to the RFX bass for 10 years...so all of a sudden I put the new unit in and it sounds 'different'. BUT...i've seen this with CD Units as well! night and day, in some cases, on standard CD players... For instance, with my Focal amps, the iDA front stage is FANTASTIC! The RFX is a different sound, and just as fantastic, in a different way. The bass/sub end of things is very smooth, powerful and clean with the RFX...the iDA? A little muddy, but just as powerful, but in a different way. not what I'm used to. I'll say one thing, I don't think I'll use another Alpine. I thought my cousins systems back in the day were the way they were because of the MB's and Zapco stuff...but I think it's the Alpine processing I don't care for. I'm more of a Eclipse/Denon/RFX (Delco) guy I guess. Next up? PRS880 or 9255. [/QUOTE]
