[QUOTE="Flex68, post: 7586387, member: 638503"] Since I did not receive any responses to the above post/question, I may have failed to include enough info: I have been looking for a couple of weeks to determine which head unit to use to replace the factory REFS single CD unit in the ’08 Dodge Ram 1500 quadcab I recently bought. Had a mid-90’s model Pioneer in the old ext. cab pickup I sold, so I looked at Pioneer units first. Had some hopes for several Premier’s, but finally chose to discount them for one reason or another. The Kenwood KDC-Xxxx units were ones that I also discounted, mainly for bad ratings and reviews regarding poor radio reception. (I am not very interested in Sirius, XM, or HD, and still tune in local stations frequently) So I have been reviewing the offerings from Clarion and Alpine in the under $350 range. I am currently debating among the Alpine CDA-9887 and the CDA-117, and the Clarion CZ501. I like the CDA-9887 (used, at around $200) for the crossovers and EQ, but am just not sure I want to go with such a ‘dated’ unit… I plan to run a single JL Audio 12W3V3-2 sub in a sealed enclosure under the rear passenger seat, along with a Kicker KS693 set of 6x9’s in the front doors, all driven by a Kicker ZX700.5 amp. I am more interested in SQ than SPL for this truck (my daily driver), and will be using mainly CD’s and an iPod for my source, along with local FM stations. Based on this, I would appreciate hearing which of the above 3 HU’s would you might suggest as my best choice, and why? Or suggestions for others that may provide decent crossover control that I haven't considered. Many thanks! [/QUOTE]
