    @j-utah
    Did you were able to use the CD-MC20 with the 6600NEX?
    Thanks

    Hey, you know I’m not sure on that one. Maybe there is a place to plug that in, in the back of the receiver. It did get the USB adapter, so perhaps it could plug in on the front port. Sorry I can’t be of more help on that. I played test tones from a flash drive, set my EQ levels the way I wanted first. And then maxed everything out based on the test tones and then backed off a bit. Results are excellent.

    Hi,
    Thanks, Just curious. I have the 7600NEX ready for install and wonder if the CD-MC20 is compatible. Did you have the auto EQ menu on the radio?

    Hey man, sorry I missed your post. Probably too late to respond now but here goes! I did like all of the stuff I got from TT. The larger sub is amazing. The box is great. It comes with a felt lining now and not the linex type spray. The felt makes more sense.

    I’m not sure I’d do the back wall again. That was intense. But I don’t know what it would be like without it. It was hard to get the rear plastic cover back on over the matting. Some of the tabs do not seat, but it’s still OK.

    I love the amp. No regrets. If I did it again, I might get better rear coax speakers. They seem to be the limiter right now, but I couldn’t play the system louder than I do, even if I wanted to. I’m too old for that. I’m like angsty teen who listened to the Smiths and Pink Floyd old.

    One thing I forgot to do because I missed seeing it on the instructions. The crossovers have a jumper inside, when taking off the cover. The jumper can be set to take into account whether the tweeters are mounted low or up high in the dash. I didn’t look to see where they are set as the default from the factory, so they might be wrong. I don’t want to take my seat off though!

    I used almost all of the matting. The ballistic matting from TT was really nice.

    I’m looking through the manual and also I looked through the screen menu on the unit and I didn’t see an auto EQ setting anywhere. Maybe there and I’m just not seeing it.

    I think that you are right. On the Pioneer site is stated that should work with all 2010 and later Car DVD Receivers, but this radio doesn't have a DVD.
    On the order hand, it's supposed to work with all the Pioneer NEX radios. I only see the BT mic jack, and there's nothing in the manual about the CD-MC20.

    Looks like a cool tool though.
