EDIT = Err....that Alpine link only brings you to their homepage...I think you can find your way to the head units //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I think that panasonic has some great ideas with their head unit but I dont feel that their quality is as high as Alpine

a 4 channel amp will do a much better job than head unit

i know, but what 4 way amp do you recommend? and how many watts per channel?

What are the speakers and their RMS/peak power rating? How much are you willing to spend?

i am gettin Infinity Kappa 63.5i 6-1/2" 3-way Speakers and Infinity Kappa 693.5i

6"x9" 3-way Speakers

if i could get a pretty good amp for around 200 that would be good

they all depends on how much you want to spend and what sound you want to achieve and what features you are going to need

If you get an alpine deck with the v-drive option, it is 60x4 watts if it is hooked up to the battery directly. Ive got it and noticed a big difference when i did that.

The CDA-7894 and the CDA-7893 are the 2 new decks this year that have it I belive.

US Acoustics makes very good amps for very little, I've never heard a single bad review of one. A 4 channel with 60x4 will run you about 150 and that will be ok for those Infinitys.
