Alpine's awesome isn't it?? lol On a 1 to 10 scale i would say an 8 since you have a db drive amp for your mids but other than that its pretty good. Do you like that headunit....I was looking at that one since my CDA-9887 got stolen.

Any head unit for the most part can be used with the stock steering controls. You need a PAC adapter for the corresponding aftermarket HU. No aftermarket just plugs right into the stock harness. The PAC adapter is necessary to make that work.

I have access to DB Drive's full line. They make a decent amp actually especially on a budget compared to other budget oriented amplifiers. I have used them multiple times in the past with good results.
