Do any head units offer a bandpass filter?

I'm eventually going to go active, using my Phoenix Gold RSD components (currently running passive), and a sub... I was planning on eventually getting an RF 360.2 in order to do this...

But I was also considering getting an aftermarket head unit (I'm using the stock HU currently)...

Are there head units that have built-in active crossovers with a bandpass filter, such that I wouldn't need the 360.2? I'd rather not simply run the tweets off the head unit, as I have enough channels on my amplifier to run everything off the amp (it's a 5-channel amp).

I guess I'm looking for a HU with 3 pre-amp outs, 1 set high passed for the tweets, one set band passed for the mids, and 1 set low-passed for the sub.... that way I wouldn't need the 360.2.

I understand that the 360.2 will most likely do a lot more than the HU I'm imagining would, but I'm wondering if there's a HU that achieves the basics for an active setup...

Crutchfield is a bit vague...I googled and found an alpine that does it, but it's discontinued.

Thanks

Any regular ol' 2-way (tweet + mid) active h/u will do this. IMO, that's essentially the requirement to be an active h/u.

The few named above are definately some choices.

I hate to sound like a jerk, but you could easily come up with plenty of results via searching. Matter of fact, I think I mentioned about 5 or 6 h/u's that will do this in a post today. :)
