Anyone have an Alpine IVA-W200?

I'm considering buying an IVA-W200 and was curious if anyone here has one yet. I've seen a couple reviews here and there on the web, but since it's so new and seems to be limited in production (so far), there isn't much info yet.

I'd also like to get a PXA-H701 and SBS-05DC for full 5.1 sound. Has anyone here done a setup like that?

For the record, I've already replaced the whole Bose setup with other stuff, but it's time to upgrade. =)

Not yet...hopefully eventually. If you're going with the h701, sounds like a match made in heaven.

I think best buy has em now..you can find em around if you want.

OK, I took the plunge. Got the IVA-W200 on the way from Best Buy warehouse and the PXA-H701 on the way from Crutchfield. Both had them in stock, so I got lucky.

Now, can anyone recommend a 5.1 car audio amp? I'd like to move up from my 2 sony amps (they work fine, but I'd like to just use 1 amp, rather than 3). I have ADS seperates in the front, ADS coaxials in the rear and a JL stealthbox for a sub. I'll be using the Alpine DIN center channel also. I don't need alot of power per channel, as long as the amp is reasonably clean. My current Sony amps (75x4 and 100x2) provide more than enough for my current speakers. So I'm looking for a 5.1 amp that's something like 50x5 + 100x 1 or a bit more.

Thanks.

I have one. Nice unit, but it's lacking in the tuning department unless you add on the PXA-H701.
