[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8515664, member: 650438"] the 80 prs is a single din head unit and if your 6700bs fits, the 80 prs will fit right in just fine. Your current head unit is not a good head unit. The internal DAC and circuitry is weak(which means poor quality sound from the start) and has basically zero Real sound tuning capabilities especially with only a 5 band EQ and no time alignment. You can run active with your nvx amp but you'll need to ditch the crossover however you'll still have poor time alignment issues and nothing to do about it. Also, doing the crossover with the amp, you cannot be precise and accurate because you dont know if you are at a specific frequency on a knob or not, its all guestimation while going active crossovers with an active capable head unit will have precise crossover points and you can change the slopes as well while the amp only has a fixed crossover point which is extremely limited. I listen to metal and i know exactly what you've experienced. Its mainly tuning. I've done loads of speaker swaps and never completely solved the issue however I swapped the head unit to an 80 prs and it made garbage speakers sound good, and good speakers sound amazing. The head unit makes the biggest difference in sound quality because it actually allows you to do a proper tune with your current gear. [/QUOTE]
