Excellent choices on all the equipment and those prices from your retailer are pretty good. You really have to be carefull buying gear on the net, there are lot of counterfet stuff out there and not to mention zero warranty. My local dealer gave me a 3 year warranty on all of my gear they installed and a lot of the time they will give you pretty good breaks on stuff if you have a decent amount of labor going into the install.

I definitly second the optional bass knob for the 900/5! definite must!!!! There are just some songs that dont jive with either too much or too little bass and you can dial it up and down at the tips of your fingers or even turn it all the way off.

I personally prefer the double din units from alpine but they have weaker outputs which just means you have to turn yoru gains up a bit higher. I am running a Audio Control EQX which acts as my pre-amp and it pushes 10 volts so my amp gains are all the way down so all of my adjustment is strictly on the EQX. I also consider this device a MUST have!
