Looking for some opinions. I am thinking to go with this DD unit for a few reasons.

1. SQ is the most important factor.
2. I want a deck that has 5Volt preouts.
3. I am looking for a well integrated iPOD interface. (very tired of the fm modulator)
4. I want a good bluetooth system.
5. I want a good NAVI system.

From the research I've done on this site, it seems the 8019 is the most balanced DD unit.

I have two 10W6v2's in 4080 enclosures. The subs are being pushed by a 1.1000 Alpine PDX. I am also planning to replace the front and rear speakers and push them with a 4.150 Alpine PDX. I have the factory HU now with the factory Sirius receiver.

Any other suggestions that would meet these requirements?

 

This is not an answer, but are you a coupe or sedan? Sorry for the OT question, just wondering.

 

if SQ is the most important, i would say get the 205 701 combo

 

I was leaning towards the w205, but I was turned off by the portable nav device (something to get lost and rattle), and I saw that the Alpine w205 only has 2V preouts not 5V. From what I've read, the best sounds comes from the 5V units.

It looks like the 701 elevates the SQ, but how can that sound better given the 2V preouts to start with?

Looks like I need to visit my local stereo shop to compare.
