Agreed. I'm running the 7998 in my car and I love everything about it.

Three questions:

Does the 7998 have digital output?

Can the 7998 control the H701?

Do you ever plan on using a video/surround sound setup in your car?

If the answer to all three are no, I would probably take the P9 combo. If the answer to the last question is yes, I would do the H701 setup.

P9 combo... this seems like more or less a no brainer.

Unless your car is an absolute EQ nightmare, where you would need 31 band eq's for EVERY channel-along with the space required for the C701 on the dash...the P9 usually is enough for most

Take price into consideration the P9 is not the most solid of transports- it does randomly like to skip FYI...its no secret.

Then again every option you choose has its flaws.

For what it is worth, I have the 7998 with the MRA-D550 amp.
