help with head unit and alpine ktp445

[[email protected] 1]

im looking for a head unit for my gfs explorer she is wanting a dvd havnt decided if its gonna be double din or flip out single din i have found the alpine ktp445 which it was told was like a mini amp that i could use for my components maybe and was wondering if i could just match the the wires by colors from that to whatever headunit i wanted weather it be pioneer kenwood etc etc. and i was wanting to get some of ur guys input on different headunits and as to why u like them. the only thing we are looking for is if it plays dvds and an ipod can hook up too. price range isnt a big deal right now but wanted it under 800 if we can and be able to change songs on the screen for the ipod. if i need to add anything else let me know.

The ktp will only work with certain alpine headunits, it will not work with pioneer, kenwood, etc

Get the h u you like and a little amplifier for your speakers. Forget that ktp something !

I'll just add that I have used a ktp in the past, it was an improvement over stock headunit power, but definitely not on par with a standalone amplifier.
