[QUOTE="highvolt, post: 5937729, member: 610500"] I own a 1996 Acura Integra. I am planning to completely replace my car's sound system. About 2 weeks ago I got a great deal on a pair of MTX two-way speakers for $37. (MSRP 100, cheapest store on internet 60) I have been scouring the internet in search of head units to purchase. I have very specific preferences. I plan to buy a 4 channel amp for my front and rear speakers and a more powerful amp for a subwoofer. I plan on using component speakers in the front. I'll choose those, the amps, and the subwoofer once I have the head-unit picked out. [LIST] [*]Because I plan on using amps, [B]I don't care as much about the RMS wattage[/B] for the head unit's built-in amp. [*]I [B]want[/B] USB and Auxiliary input. [*]An SD-reader and HD-radio tuner would be nice but makes the deck selection much more frustrating. [/LIST] I want to build this system around sound quality. The speakers I purchased for the rear have 92 dB sensitivity. My front speakers I hope to have with an even higher rating. Because I plan on using amplifiers, I need 3 sets of preamp lines. I want no less than 4v, but would like 5 or 6 volts if possible. I don't care what brand the head unit is. My budget is anything less than $175. Prices can be compared from google product search and pricegrabber.com Priority: [LIST=1] [*]Sound Quality [*]Pre-amp voltage, USB, AUX input [*]HD Radio/SD reader [*]Bluetooth [/LIST] Sound quality Thank you!
