Do the current good head units support full active mode?
I see all kinds of support for movies, etc. but was wondering if anyone had a good head unit they liked that supports full active mode internally. I know many have time correction, parametric eq's, and subwooder outputs but I'm interested in internal electronic crossovers to cut down on overall bulk and complexity....
Thanks,
Dan

I'm still kicking around what I want to do with the drivers.
I'd love to do the Dynaudio 362 set, but that's a healthy chunk of change.
Otherwise, I'm leaning towards either an 8 or 10 midbass in the doors with tweeters on the a pillars with possibly just 5.25 mids in the back for fill.
TBH, I was born with a bit of hearing loss, so my system preferences run towards loud, dynamic and clear. I wear $5k worth of hearing aids that suck for music and get taken out for car jamming.
Cheers!

Also look to the Pioneer Premier DEH-P880PRS. Is has TA, EQ, and Sub/Mid/High x-over.
I'm looking at the Alpine 9887 as well... I have the Alpine iDA-Z001 but it's pretty bland on features. Works great with an iPod and iPhone, however!

Hmn, I wonder if it can be EQd to compensate for the weak spots in your hearing..
You cant fit system 362 in the door of a vette. system 342 yes, but the thing iwth dynaudio is the "midbass" speaker is actually a midrange speaker, and isn't up to the task of "bad *** midbass"

I have the Pioneer Premier unit in my truck and has these features. A real nice unit and makes setup and complexity easy. Sounds awesome too.
