You guys are killing me. I was about to pull the trigger on the Alpine because of the USB in the back. I'm not worried about the background and I have a Proclip mount that connects to my existing radio, so i really don't use Bluetooth.
I'm also considering the Sony XAV-AX5000, but it's an extra $50.
I've gotta be careful. I've already done the subwoofer mod, next will be the receiver, and if I'm not careful I'll be buying another Fosgate amp and new speakers.
