Well I finally got my w200 and all I can say is wow this install is really coming together nicely. Here are a couple of pics of of the head unit sorry for the poor quality.

All the concerns I had about the Arc4150XXK not being enough for the W18nx'es are gone its more than enough with the gain all the way down. This thing is to much for the tweets I have the gain all the way down on the tweets as well and also have them attenuated down 12 DB through the H701. They sound great at normal listening levels but if I feel like cranking it they are going to be a fatiging driver.
The w18's: Where have these things been all my life!!! Hands down the best midbass I have ever heard. Very very nice low end reproduction Acurate Instruments sound like they are supposed to without the bassy coloration I have become so used to from other drivers.
The W200/H701/Pac-TR7 combo: I absolutly love it easy touch screen control of all the processor functions, menus are laid out well and make sense. I have zero noise issues from the unit. Video quality is good. If you do this combo do yourself a favor and get the TR7 it will make life a lot easier for both hooking everything up and for making adjustments to the processer as you have to do the stupid little brake dance otherwise. with the video bypass all you have to do is hit the power button on the headunit and evrything works as it should without further input from the user. Just use common sense and don't watch movies while driving.
All I need now is the DIYMA12's. Any word on when they will ship Nguyen?
This is without a doubt the best install I have ever done and one of the easiest as well. The Canyon is a joy to work on all the panels are easy to remove and resecure. Seat R&R was easy as well.
