From: Longing for my ol' white '02 WRX :(
Car Info: 2016 Acura RDX ... meh. Um, nice subwoofer?
If you're not a crazy audiophile and you want MP3 capability, line-in, excellent seek time, detachable faceplate, remote, decent interface and about $130...
[JVC Specs]
And you can find it on eBay [HERE]. Those are the folks I got mine from.
My only gripe is that it doesn not recognize playlists and doesnt have RDS. But I'll live... for buying this MSRP $249 unit for $130 brand new and selling my stock stereo for $260... I'll live

Alpine 7987
JL Audio 300/4
Mattjk Screen
PS2
Speaker wise I likely will be going the CDT route.
I'd like to add a JL 10w6v2 and either bridge the 2 channels off the 300 or go with a 250 or 500/1 JL.
I have a single farat digital cap...you think that's enough?

Currently running:
Kenwood KDC-x869
Boston Z6
Boston Pro5.5
2 Xtant1.1
Xtant6.6
Alumapro Cap5
JL 12w6 in small sealed enclosure (probably will be an xtant sub soon)
I really tried to keep things simple and clean. I'm much more concerned with SQ rather than cool stuff. I've kind of moved on (for now) to my performance mods but I'll probably look into getting some amplified power for the pros in the future.

someone asked me earlier what I thought of the HDD, Well it's incredible lot's of good funtions and features.
The only drawback is it only has green illumination and I have already switched all my lighting to red/amber....oh well back to green with the HVAC, also I had called Alpine to see if I could buy a new face with red/amber and they do not even have anything available but if there is enough of a demand there may be some options when you all get yours....if you are interested in that of course
