I was looking at the Eclipse on http://www.sonicelectronix.com It says 14rms.... maybe a typo if the box says 22rms.

I am about 95% sure, but I will check my manual when I go out to my truck.
Morel Elate 3-ways ran by a Genesis Series III Dual-mono, Morel Ultimo ran by an Autotek mm3000.1, Alpine DVA-9861

I think i would really rather have better tuning with my headunit because all Alpine has is BBE, bass, and treble.

I have been reading about Pioneer's auto EQ, it sounds pretty cool. William from Nola did a review on a Pioneer with it and it sounds like something i would want. Yet again, it costs more. I think i am up to a HU that costs around $350. Well, I found that the Pioneer DEH-P880PRS uses it. Anyone seen or used it before?? I think I am between an Eclipse 8445 or that Pioneer.

So I have narrowed it down to....
Pioneer DEH-P780MP
Pioneer DEH-P880PRS-if i want the auto EQ
JVC KD-AR5500
Eclipse CD8445
Kenwood KDC-X890

Just looking for input if anyone has used any of them.
