I've had an Alpine in the past and never had any trouble w/ it....unlike the Kenwood, JVC, and Sony, so that sounds like a good choice if, like you said, I can find one that has a good RMS # ...since peaking isn't going to give me much w/ the top down. I've been checking though and can't find an Alipine w/ a changable display color (ie, reddish)...most of them are blue or green.

I agree with you though, Sony has dropped off my list w/ the release of the X-Plod series........

BTW: Do I have a pretty good chance finding a radio wiring harness for the car/aftermarket radio?

I'll keep checking and thanks!
