[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1406578, member: 561023"] This is sound advice. After reading your post on the type of gear you're looking at wanting to get I just can't see you achieving it on your stated budget. I do not fault you for wanting top-shelf gear, don't get me wrong, but you aren't going to get stuff like the 9855 and a sub comparable to the W7 for bargain-basement pricing. Yes, there are exceptions which are generally the result of continuous eBay browsing and not a small touch of luck, but on average if you want great equipment you're going to need to pay more than just a couple of bucks for it. My suggestions in Post #4 contained something that was admittedly self-serving as the proposed HU idea is the one I personally have for sale. That notwithstanding it [B][I]is[/I][/B] a solid unit with 3 sets of 5v preouts, built-in HP crossovers for the front and rear outputs / LP crossover with level control for the subwoofer preouts, defeatable internal amp if it's not going to be used, plays .mp3 and .wma files...motorized face, etc etc etc ~ more or less [I]fits[/I] the description of the kind of head unit you're looking for.
