Eclipse XA5000 and DEH-P4200UB, anyone heard or own one of these? There's a local guy that's selling a used XA5000 and a used Pioneer DEH-P4200UB both for $200.
Anyone have any experience with this amp or HU?
I'll be running a set of HD-6M DVC's and Focal 165VB's. In the future I'll add some 4" component set for the hatch as right now i've blown my budget completely out of the water!
One thing about the amp is that it doesn't have a remote bass ****. I always find myself adjusting the subs from genre to genre of music. I know it can be done on the HU but it's just not as quick as with the bass ****.
The things i don't like about the deck is the multi-way **** and the screen is smaller than normal with a very tiny clock.
Any other opinions?

Derp! Find my answer on google about the bass control ****.
I think I may buy just the amp and keep looking for a more suitable HU the clunky mult-****, small screen and even small clock are a big turnoff.

The Eclipse XA series is very good, and being Class D (of the full-range variety), it is quite efficient and relatively cool running compared to Class A/B amps. Think about 80% efficient instead of 50-60% efficient. In fact, pretty much all Eclipse amps are very good. One of my backup amps is an old Eclipse 3620 that works great.
I'd much rather have a subwoofer output control feature on my H/U than a remote bass/gain/whatever **** from the amp.
Not sure on the Pioneer HU.
