Hey,
I'm watching this thread with great interest and am looking forward to seeing some pictures of your install when it's done. I do have one question that you may be able to answer as so far I have not seen it while searching the net.
The Alpine PXE-H650 Sound processor, obviously I understand this provides pre-outs which are handy but does it also mean that you will require external amplification for the other speakers now?
By this I mean instead of the head unit now powering the cars full range speakers, high level signals go to the Alpine Processor and from there you connect amplifiers via the pre-outs to then power the speakers &/or subb.
It would be great if the Alpine PXE-H650 Sound processor had an inbuilt amp which could then power the speakers at say 4x30w RMS or greater, that would make it appealing to me a bit more.
In reading it does appear that with using one of the new generation Alpine head units sound from it can be outputted into the Alpine PXE-H650 Sound processor, then returned back into the head unit for amplification out to the speakers.
This is a simialr principle to what I have seen/experienced in the past as a previous car had a Pioneer DEQ-9200 DSP/Active crossover unit which I fitted but required amps to then power the system. In those days I was heavily into my ICE and so running 3 amps was not an issue.
Thanks.
Ian
