Yes the 9826 (and 27) both have a remote. When my mom got her 2007 Honda City it came with the 9827 and a remote.
The KCA 121 is AiNet to RCA. (edit: I see Condor found the right cable).

A comparison between these two will make my life much easier!! Any help appreciated.
Preferences:
1. Music genre: Classic rock (Led Zep, Floyd, Doors and the likes)
2. Rear speakers: I am the only one to listen to it in the drivers seat
3. Bluetooth: I don't like to take calls while I am driving, nothing is more important than good music and a relaxed drive  . Bluetooth won't hurt for those 'emergency' calls. Also, does the music quality suffer when you are streaming using BT compared to when you plug in your Iphone ? |
The 6450 and 6400 are almost the same. Mostly designed for different markets. The 6400 is for the US market.
I'd take the Pioneer over the Sony. I am not happy with the few Sonys I have heard. That said I have
not heard the Sony model you refer to.
When you take your BT call the Hu will normally pause your music and return back to the music when the call is disconnected. It will not make any difference to the music being player.
Any wireless (BT, Wifi, etc..) streaming will not compare to wired transfer of music. Wireless however is very convienent and has improved (Airplay etc..) to make it tolerable but for good audio quality wired trumps wireless everytime.

Also, i was told that duster has 5 3/4 enclosures so i need to go for JBL or PHD else the magnets would hinder mirror movement. |
PHD's Cellulose series is very nice. Without knowing the exact model numbers involved it is a little diffcult to advise.
5 3/4 is an odd size. Usual sizes are 5 1/4 or 6 1/2 (sometimes you get 6 3/4).

My budget is around 40K-50K(and can extend a bit).
Crossover - Kicker KX3 or any similar
Front - Components
Rear - Coaxials(Required in rear door and not on the parcel-tray)
Amp - Existing AMP(can upgrade later)
Subwoofer - 8 inchs(don't require bigger one due to space constraints) with fiber glass en-closer or any similar without disturbing boot space.
Amp for Subwoofer - Any good mono amp.
Damping - Required in floor/boot/doors |
Why the Kicker crossover? usually any component speaker you have will come with a matching crossover. If you use the crossover of one speaker with the drivers from a different model/brand your results may be mixed.
I would look at the ID V3 8" but given your budget I would look to add a monoblock to drive it. You can then use the JBL amp for the front and rear speakers.
For the front and rear components please check out Focal, Infinity, etc as this can be very subjective. You will be surprised at the aural differences you will notice between two products that measure about the same.
lastly do not forrget to save 7-8K for damping the doors. It will greatly improve your listening expereince.

You can do it yourself. Most 1 DIN Head units are 7" wide and 2" high about a little less than 7" deep (about 6-6.75"). So replacing one head unit with another is not a diffcult task. Since each manufacturer is different they do use different techniques to hold the HU in place. Crutchfield.com used to have manuals for doing this online. Maybe they still do.

If you like it bright I would consider Polk (which is bright) or Focal (which is somewhere between the Kappa and Polk).
