[QUOTE="Golitan11, post: 8136767, member: 655724"] I have an Alpine SWR-12D4 subwoofer with an Alpine MRX-M110 amplifier and factory speakers (I may upgrade in the future) and I need to change my head unit. I am curently stuck between some from Kenwood (KDC-X397) and Pioneer (DEH-X7500S) because both have 4V preamp models, but for the same price, I can get Bluetooth with a 2.5V preamp (DEH-X6500BT). 4V preamp and Bluetooth models are too expensive for me (130$ is my maximum). So there are my questions: 1. Is a 4V preamp really worth it (more than Bluetooth for my smartphone)? Will it make such a difference with my actual setup? 2. Kenwood and Pioneer have really similar models. Kenwood has more power but Pioneer has a better equalizer. What brand/model is better (even if it is really personal I wanna know your opinions)? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
