help me decide.

my pioneer flip out had all of the preouts go out. I am looking for a nice headunit in the 300 dollar range. video is not necessary, but would be nice. I have a couple choices. I really like the eclipse cd-5000. I will not buy another pioneer. my other choice is a jvc kd-avx11 with a clarion eq to bump the preouts to 7volts.

what would you guys do? I need higher voltage preouts and something that will sound good and last. I am going more for spl.

Why do you need higher preouts? Do you have noise in your current system?

[jonbearsmt 919]

just send the only you have out to be repaired.. i had mine go out aswell...well not OUT.. but i had mad motor noise in it.. only cost me 140 to get it fixed.

and becarful getting higher voltage output SOME amps wont take that much input.... i wont name any names.

I myself have never had issues with 8v pre-outs on any amps. Even my saz-1500d's strapped. A DD m1, a eclipse xa1000 etc... Any high quality amp should take 8v preouts as long as you aren't being stupid with it.

That was one of the units i was loking at. i only use my ipod anyway.

I need the higher voltage pre-outs because i have a power acoustik a3000db that i am trying to squeeze somewhere near the rated power out of until i can afford something better.

I am considering going active in the future also. it would be nice to have the crossover integrated, but if theres nothing around this price that has it, thats cool. I can still do a trunk mount 3 way x-over later right?

from what i understand the eclipse cd-3200 (newer model) has a built in 3 way x-over and 5 volt preouts and the alpine has an adjustable high pass and 2 volt pre-outs.

Because i want to go active in the near future and my new found hatred for pioneer i ordered a clarion dxz785usb had all the features i wanted and more. Hopefully it sounds as good as it looks. It also had three pair 6 volt outs which was appealing.

Actually, there are some old Boss amps that were ZED made years back. So not all of them are bad.
