I know this unit is a bit long in the tooth, but wanted to get opinions from folks on it. One just came up locally and I am probably going to buy it, but wanted to hear from any owners on if they are still loving the unit or not.
I will primarily be using my iPhone and either Pandora or music loaded on it (highest quality you can get from iTunes) or CD's. I believe this unit bypasses the iPhones DAC's when connected via USB.
As a reminder of my setup for my car I have the following connected
Sundown 125.2 amp to a set of Polk DB6501 component speakers with the woofers installed in the door, tweeters in the sail panels
Sundown 1200D amp to a Treo TE 10.44 sub
I am planning on using time alignment and the extra lower crossover settings than I have now but am curious as to what I should set the crossover for the fronts and sub at.
Right now I am limited to 100, 120, 150 on both. I figured with the new headunit for the front speakers I could drop it to like 60 and the sub I could go to like 80?
Anyway thoughts or opinions appreciated.
Also any idea on where to aquire a remote for one, this unit doenst have it and its not a total deal breaker as I dont use the remote for my current unit anyway, but would like to have it.

Ended up finding a unit on ebay for a better price (and it had everything with it whereas the local unit didnt, then suddenly it did :rolleyes:).
Looking forward to getting this puppy installed in my Jetta. Hoping the 4v pre-outs will make a difference. I know the time alignment will. Any tips/suggestions on using the unit are more than welcome

It will sound better with some SR6500's...
Sure, I will be glad to accept your gift.
Actually do have a question. I know the unit has the stock wiring harness but I am assuming I need to get one to connect that unit to my Jetta's existing one.
Can I just re-use the one I currently have for my older Kenwood unit? If not can anyone point me in the right direction.....
