Default That sounds like a solid setup. I'm still going with an Eclipse head unit over the RNS-E though...

I need the eq/time alignment options that just aren't present in the RNS-E.

How does the sub sound in the A4 mods enclosure? I'm having a hard time deciding whether to use a similar enclosure or just simply go with a box (I rarely use the trunk and don't really care about trunk space).

A single 10" is enough or not?
I'm not really a basshead or anything, but when the mood strikes, I want the bass to be there.

I ran 2 12" subs in a sealed box with 500w going to them (prev. car) and it was fine.

What Eclipse head unit are you looking at?

Haven't decided yet, but it'll be a double-din with nav.

there is a 5435, a 5510, and a 6610; oh and I guess you could also count the 2210p which just got a price drop to $499 including bluetooth, navigation, traffic and a ton of other features. Only that one doesn't have time alignment.

I'd recommend the AVN6610BT. That's my dream unit. I've done a ton of research, played with all of them, and decided on that one.

Let us know what you decide, and show some pictures when you're done.

Default Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully I'll end up buying one of those over the next 2 months.

This week I'm planning on buying the subwoofer(s). Still haven't decided on how many or size.

At least I'm all set in terms of amplifiers.

Default I've been reading about the AVN6610. How does the "Listening Position Selector" work?

As I understand it, it's not exactly time alignment. Does it just play around with the balance/fade control i.e. loudness of the speakers? Or does it use time alignment?

Default Also, can the button backlighting be changed?

The only night time pics of the unit that I've seen had the buttons with green backlight.

I obviously want something reddish/yellowish to better match the B6 interior.
