Looks like they are making some decent head units that arent ugly.

i havent dealt with alpine myself since like 1990...the planet i like cause of the 5v preouts and the 3 year warranty

Alpine DVA 9861 is DVD player, but have no processing built in, so external processor is a must. It is not the fastest head unit on market, but it works just fine. It has also OPTIC output and AiNet output and processor control besides standard RCAs.

3 year warranty is always good.

That's the one I've got, but I don't have an external processor. I think it sounds pretty good without one.

Point is in options that processor offers you. But it all depends on system - if it is "normal" system with only sw low pass and front hi-pass and passive xo than there is no need to buy proc, but if you plan to go 4-way, full active, than processor is necesary. And with such system you really need 701
