Default Which headunit

Hello. a little help needed. So i want a new headunit for my ap2. Im looking to replace the door speakers also, probley not the door tweeters if i dont need too, but idk. I also have the OEM headrest tweeters and plan on getting the OEM rool bar tweeters. Im just not sure which unit to get in order to assure i dont blow all my tweeters out, if thats possible, and i cant find info about them. I also want to keep my side dash controls so i already know about getting the Modifry wiring harness. Any help on which headunit or speck on the units i should be with-in. Thanks. Doug

I would recomend the JVS KD-AVX77, and as far as after market speakers don't worry about the HU blowing anything out. The average HU runs about 18-28 Watts RMS which will under power most if not all after market speakers. Try to match up an amp and a pair of speakers if you want the best sound out of any speaker.

hey guys. i was offered a Alpine CDA-9851. Looks like a nice headunit and i believe he is also going to give me the modifry side control harness with it. He also has the roll bar speakers i have been looking for. What do you all think of this head unit.?

I got the Pioneer P7000BT, love it so far. Can't beat the bang for the buck. Comes with ipod adapter and blue tooth capability without having to buy any extra accessories. Blue tooth works great!

I had a high output HU and it still wasn't enough even with upgraded front and added rear speakers. When I got a real amp to push sound it was great, even at highway speeds, top down.

Some reviews on Crutchfield for that unit:
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-RhUa44ZWyre/p...5684&tab=review
and it says it fits. Should be a decent HU to work with (although its been discontinued). Do you plan on usind CD's alot? If not, I really recommend going with an interactive digital model, like the Alpine iDA series (x303 and x305). Same functionality and cheaper since there is no CD drive to manufacture.
