--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: Scott Walters <scott@packetpushers.com>
Hey fellas, I am out.
Got my wifes 2000 Passat and selling off my C90/4000 and going
with an Eclipse 8454 and a professional install ( http://www.s-waves.com/
) of my DynAudio 340 (custom kicks for mid/tweet), Brax Cap, A/D/S PQ20,
JL 500/1, 2x10W3v2, 3 bulk packs of Dynamat Extreme.
I considered the 8053 but wanted to avoid the hassle of the
balanced line adapters and considerable interconnect costs.
I also looked at Nak, Alpine, Pioneer, but it seemed that it came
down to Eclipse or the Alpine F-1 (yeah right). If I didn't have the DSP
reqs I'd given the Naks a closer look. The 8454 has 8v, but I still
wonder if I am going to miss the no-clipping of the C90 and pure digital
back to the DSP with short RCA's.
I am really looking forward to the finished install and having all
the functionality of the C90/4000 in the HU. I do loose one channel of
flexibility (3 RCA DSP controlled outputs in the 8454 vs 4 in the 4000).
But I use the Dyn X360a passive crossover for the mid/tweet, so 3 channels
is perfect. Subs get Low Pass, door Dyn Driver gets full active LP/HP,
and the Dyn crossover gets HP.
That being said I am selling off the following gear, and wanted to
give first dibs to my bros on the list. Prices are non-negotiable,
anything I don't sell here will go on Ebay - no reserve.
Buyer pays shipping and insurance, check the links. There are extras
included in the XM and XDP auctions.
$100 http://packetpushers.com/ebay/sonycdx.htm
$150 http://packetpushers.com/ebay/sonyxm.htm
$400 http://packetpushers.com/ebay/sonyxdp.htm
I'll sell all three together for $600 (FWIW - the cost of the 8454).
I will stay on the list and let you know how the Eclipse goes.
From what I've read on the 'Net, no one has been disappointed going from
the C90 to the Eclipse, we'll see . . . .
I am absolutely drooling over the 63Hz crossover freq on the 8454.
The MW160 has (f)s of 55Hz so 78Hz has been far from ideal (I know,
preaching to the choir).
I get the car next Friday.
