I've blown one buy adjusting the settings on an amp (ex:crossover point)

The only pioneers I would ever use is the 80 and 99. Or maybe the older premiers.

p99rs is also deadly expensive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

It would have been a better choice for me. Now I want a processor to have full 3 way plus sub control and the 99 would have done it all in one deck. By time I get a processor that does what the 99 does I'll be in it the same amount of money.

so if someone needed a HU to run an active setup the 80prs would be the option because 149bt isn't active capable?

no, you buy the Alpine then run an external crossover or buy amps that have more flexible crossovers (they are usually much nicer amps anyway). if you care about SQ, you aren't running budget amps anyway. both the 80 and 149 only have 6 channel outputs and both have 6 channel T/A.

and to me, it doesn't matter what the Pioneer has for crossovers because i don't like Pioneer crossovers and won't use them anyway.

in the 2005 Scion tC we had a huge gain in SQ by defeating the crossovers in the Pioneer and used the Audison crossovers instead.

My 1996 Alpine amps were active capable in their crossovers.

I'd rather run JVC or Clarion if Alpine wasn't an option.

I own 2 80 PRS, and a 9887. I like the features of the 80s, but I love the ease of the 9887. The 80s also display voltage as well. But to throw another hat in the ring, the Eclipse CD 7200MKII is worth finding.
