anything else?

like:
usb
ipod
bands of equalization
preout voltage
bluetooth
what you planning to use it for (daily/sq/comp)?

IMO, the pioneer will be the most cost effective, and anything from the 4100UB/IB up

I would by a better HU, use it, see if you need more processing and go from there.

Buy an Alpine, no need to worry about ribbon cables failing or RCA's grounding off

^^^^^
there is cheap alpine and high end. which to go? the system is for daily play and rare loud playing. if i'm going cheap i'm thinking about the alpine ida-x200 as i don't need cd and for high end i'm thinking about the pioneer 510ub or 6100bt. not looking to spend more than 1800.

put the extra and get a good high end deck, then you might end up saving money.

personally, i've never had any problems with the pioneer line and as i said, anything above the 4100 should give you what you are looking for.

Instead of buying the processor, just combine both funds and go for the Alpine cda-9887 Idea

unless you have ears like a SQ judge or competitor the pioneer will work fine for you (even works fine for some present SQ competitors)
