[QUOTE="Sarthos, post: 5935372, member: 610335"] I've heard the term so many times and it may be n00bish not to know, but what does "active setup" mean? Does it mean running speakers off of the stereo's internal amp? The ida line I don't think even plays CDs that'd be kinda worthless to me. I didn't think the JVC units had that many features, I was just looking at the one for its HD built in. But looking online that unit is about the same price as the Alpine so I'd pick the alpine between the two I had no idea pioneer decks had trouble with noise, because they're usually regarded as really nice units. PA products aren't too widely used. They used to make really good stuff, and a lot of it is still decent, but its also hard to find. Not a dealer in my state [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] I like that the kenwood has the bluetooth built in for roughly the cost of the Alpine, but does it sound about as good? And as for the speakers in the rear, it's cause they don't fit in the front and its 10 tweeters, not 14. Also because more speakers means if I wanna listen to my music loud (and I like hearing all the music, not just the subs) I wanna be able to blast the mids without blowing the speakers or distorting sound.
