I was reading the new imprint that alpine has but towards the end of the review it sounded like he had better results with his own tuning.

I was debating on the CDA-9887 with the KTX-100EQ (Imprint)

CDA-9887 with the RUX-C701(H701 Controler)/PXA-H701

Is the H701 better than the KTX-100eq? I am not running Video just want a top notch SQ set-up. Video is stand alone on roof liner for Kids in the Back seat.

I have a Double Din Opening on a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and was wondering if the RUX-C701 (Controler) could be mounted easy with the CDA-9887 to fit in the double Din opening or would there need to be Mods?

Can the PXA-H701 match up with the IVA-W205?

    i think that you can use the PXA-H701, with your IVA-W205.

    and about the KTX-100EQ, its designed just for the 9887, and it will open more functions on your HU, i think its the best thing to buy, if you have the 9887.

    and if you dont like the tuning of the KTX, you can change it, based on the KTX parameters.

    The 701 is the best processor out there IMO. SUPER easy to use and has damn near unlimited ability. 31 EQ bands for 8 speakers independently. Crossover slopes from 6-30 db for 8 speakers independently. Time alignment in .05 ms increments for 8 speakers independently.
