02.R1

Is there a pioneer add on processor for their head units? I have the avic-f700bt.

I am working on a new system for my 350Z and was considering running active. I've never ran active before and have been reading around and have a decent idea of what to do, but I am stuck at what to use for processing. I have a double din sat nav puoneer hu and it doesn't have the ability to run acrive and I've noticed the MiniDSP and it's right in my price range. I've decided with the Mach 5 MLI 65's, I still need to measure for the tweeters, and for the amp I'm going to get the JL 300/4. Does this setup seem fine to run with the MiniDSP? Is it pretty complicated to set the MiniDSP through the computer? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Is there any other processors that would be in the $150-200 range that would be user friendly for a first timer?

I have an 02 R1 and my insurance for a 20 yr old is $211 a year. First thing I'd do is take the MSF course and learn the basics, then buy gear. I see so many idiots riding with shorts, t shirt, and gym shoes. There's two types of riders, the ones that have been down and the ones that are gonna. For a bike I wouldn't start with a 1000cc like everyone else has said there is way too much throttle response. You'll be able to reach your potential on starting with a smaller bike. No matter the size of the bike you have to respect the power.
