[QUOTE="Raven, post: 822768, member: 558368"] The HU is important, but in the end, I'd say a signal is a signal, and the frequency response between a cheap *** sony and a nice Alpine would be negegible. My HUs are basically used as nothing but a source (no eq-ing) but I got a used Alpine (first Alpine I ever owned) so I wouldn't have to worry about it dying randomly on me.
