[QUOTE="TheUnderFighter, post: 7670402, member: 631325"] Just about anything from Alpine will be pricey. I'd look for an older used HU, specifically... your old 9813. That thing is a GEM! There's very few headunits available anymore that are even worth purchasing. They have the flashy features, but nothing to actually get good sound. There's only a couple units from each manufacturer that are worth considering. I wasn't impressed in the least with my Alpine speakers so I certainly couldn't recommend them. Maybe their Type X components are top-notch, but I'll strongly doubt they are worth the money. Again, their PDX amps are pretty pricey, and I've heard they're terribly inefficient, I'm not sure why he's listing a full Alpine system. As for bridging your amplifier, it's incredibly unlikely you'll detect any additional distortion in the least. [/QUOTE]
