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!![Punch](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_punch.gif)
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.
