[QUOTE="Mr12voltwires, post: 8665669, member: 633439"] It's going to be tough to find any headunit with a built in band pass crossover. I've been in car stereo since the '80s and off the top of my head can't come up with one that could. Alpine had their V12 Expert amps and a couple processors that did it, but I don't think you'll find anything today, especially in a DIN chassis. Everything else on your list shouldn't be tough to find. I used Alpine headunits from '95 to '16 when I tried Kenwood. I switched back to Alpine in '17. To me, Alpine sounds better and has a better user-interface. Look at Alpine's [B]CDE-HD149BT[/B]. It should measure up, and utilizes Alpine's Tune-It app that lets you make your adjustments with your smart phone. A few things I noticed when changing from a Kenwood DNX-893S to Alpine's ILX-207 are: [LIST][*]I had to turn my amp gain down with Alpine's 4V versus Kenwood's 5V. [*]Alpine's HD tuner is better. [*]Alpine's CarPlay works a little better than Kenwood's, but this doesn't apply to you. [/LIST] Good luck searching for your headunit. [/QUOTE]
