Default Alpine IDA-x100

I"m looking at upgrading to an x100, to be able to 'Imprint' (tune) the system for our cars. My questions: Is this really worth doing (I have a 9857 now with an amp, subwoofer, and Polk Audios in the doors). I was going to tune with the hardtop on (quietest setup). Will the 'hardtop tune' sound terrible later on with the softtop up and/or with the top down? I don't want to have to go back and retune twice a year (hardtop goes on in November, off in April).

Comments?

No. The imprint system IMHO is made for a car where you can really set a nice soundstage. The s2000 is a noise maker, and all your efforts will be lost with the general loudness of the car.

Thanks. I can use the $ for something else, and enjoy what I have.
