So, I have a new beater and don't want to put too much money on it. I'm on tight budget because I don't think my alero is worth more lol!

My setup might look like this:

Passive CDT HD-6 with PPI DCX 2007 pro xover and tweeter
either buy a set of 6x9 and use it as mini-sub or bridge my 2 channel and put a sub. Really don't think 150wrms is enought to drive a sub. Better drive my HD-6 with 150wrms on each side.
JL audio 300/4 amp.



Which one would you choose !?

Alpine IVA W205:
+ Work great under winter temp.
+ play dvds
+ Dvd navigation is portable and can be found for around 200-250$. great when I go to NY
+ pulse touch
+ 6.5 big screen
+ Ipod integration is well-done
- Can be found used for approx. 250-400 depending on the accessories.
- 2v preout
- 3 band EQ
- the colors of the screen seems less LIVE/HD style than the new pioneer

AVH-P3200DVD:
+ Every slot are there ( cd,usb,flashdrive) so you don't have to play with motorize parts that could eventually broke( just like p780mp did). less acces. to buy too.
+ 8 band EQ
+4v preout
+ DVD playback look nice because of the quality of the screen
+ brand new at 320$
- Dvd navigation is around 250-300$ but it's not portable.
- smaller screen of 5.8 but does that .7 really makes a difference?

Since it's a brand new unit, there's not a lot of feedback, does it work as good as the alpine under winter condition?

At the end, which one would you choose and why?

 

go with the alpine I've always used there head unit and they are bullet proof, and 150wrms your using an jl amp get a jl sub most of them are rated 125-150 wrms and sound great
