The double din unit still has autoEQ and time alignment capabilities. I'm thining it'll be good enough for a simple 2 way active setup that i'm going for. The 80PRS though.. oh man.. torn between the two. More features, or pure SQ goodiness.
Edit: I see the link now

preface: i've never done sq builds. i just do what sounds best to me..
i started by running the 80prs in my brz. was happy with the quality, but the bluetooth didn't show any song titles which drove me nuts, so i ditched it for a avh-x7800bt. that still does full active(info is sporadic about it, but it asks you at first power-on) biggest difference is it has an 11 band over a 13 band eq in the 80prs, and obviously the touch screen bits.
but both have t/a and auto eq. bad experience in the past with an older unit and constant headaches after using t/a(actual headaches from the change in acoustics) means i've never tried it.
a lot of the avh units support full active outputs, major downside is that tweeter highpass only goes down to 1.2khz or so--same problem with the 80prs though. in my last car that downside kicked me into building a carpc for full active so i could run any x-over freq i wanted.
i'm currently running 2" fullrange drivers in the dash as my 'tweeters', so had to run them as standard speakers with a 200hz x-over.
