im looking for a head unit for my gfs explorer she is wanting a dvd havnt decided if its gonna be double din or flip out single din i have found the alpine ktp445 which it was told was like a mini amp that i could use for my components maybe and was wondering if i could just match the the wires by colors from that to whatever headunit i wanted weather it be pioneer kenwood etc etc. and i was wanting to get some of ur guys input on different headunits and as to why u like them. the only thing we are looking for is if it plays dvds and an ipod can hook up too. price range isnt a big deal right now but wanted it under 800 if we can and be able to change songs on the screen for the ipod. if i need to add anything else let me know.

The ktp will only work with certain alpine headunits, it will not work with pioneer, kenwood, etc

Get the h u you like and a little amplifier for your speakers. Forget that ktp something !

why wouldnt u get the ktp if u dont mind me asking?

I'll just add that I have used a ktp in the past, it was an improvement over stock headunit power, but definitely not on par with a standalone amplifier.

hmm ok thanks so any input on headunits i wanna hear what u guys are using and why u like them

I have a jvc kw-nx7000. It's an older model. It has nav, DVD,iPod and an sd slot; also an av in. My wife and I are about to add a nintendo 64 for nostalgia. I have a cheap 200 watt powering my comps
