Now I realize you can buy the Imprint add-on for the ida-x100m, however it is $150 plus $350 for the head unit itself and that is $500, definitely not worth it in my opinion. I feel like if I'm paying $350 for a head unit it should have a better equalizer than the stock unit.
The Pioneer MVH series has an 8-band graphic equalizer, so I plan on going with that even though it might not be as pretty or match the interior as well as the Alpine.
Please, before you buy a new amp/speaker system, invest the few dollars to do the door speakers. It really is a nice and powerful system once you do this mod. Unless you are into jelling your insides with 130dbl. of sonic energy,lol.
