Hey guys / girls

i in the market to get a processor for me stereo.. just not sure wat to get? and wat are my options
i can get my hands on the PXA-H600.. is it worth gettin?? if so wat price would ya pay??
i got a pioneer 6500?
eclipse 6.5 splits
rockford 12 he single voil sub
also lookin for amps and reare fills to go in a Foz GT if that helps

the pxa is one of the better units,

it really doesnt have any competitors in its price bracket,

to gain fully integrated use of an alpine processor, you need an alpine HU. it won't be anywhere near as elegant a setup with your pioneer HU. it means you no longer use the volume control on the pioneer; instead, you set it to a preset level and the HU functions like a 'source' unit, just like a home hifi CD player or tuner. you then mount the hardwired remote for the PXA somewhere on the dash, and use its buttons for volume. i think this is rather cumbersome.

if you want some advanced processing, i'd recommend one of alpine's high-end HUs, like the CDA-9855R for RRP$799. otherwise, buy a cheaper alpine HU, and add a current alpine processor, the PXA-H701 + controller for around $1000.

the PXA-H600 is quite limited in function compared with the current crop of alpine processors or even HUs like the 9855R. this HU has more features than the H600.

from your perspective, with a pioneer HU, i wouldn't pay more than $50 for the H600. also ensure it's complete with the hardwired remote control panel and powerwiring harness.

from what i can gather from you guys so far.. it doesnt really seam worth it?
cause the only real advantage i will achieve is the time align.. and it will be anoying to use all the time.. like instead of the pioneer HU.
hmm good point guys.. so you's think it is best for me just to upgrade the HU instead of gettin a Processor??

Yep, upgrade to a headunit that has time alignment.

yep , I agree

if you get a good h/u you won't need the processor, unless you want to do some fancy tricks later on

I think it might be a good idea to get a H701 now and then upgrade the HU later If U bot the $$$ If not, but a Pioneer P80 and forget about the rest. If you really know what U R doing then 701 is the go. If you don't really know what you are doing, don't waste your time and $$$ buying a processor just tot found out that U can't know what to do. Most of the shop don't know what to do ( in my country) so you will have to be prepare to do the setup on your own.
