[QUOTE="stephgirl, post: 8713274, member: 660189"] The Pioneer HU is a great unit and i got it on Crutchfeild at about $150 few years ago. I use the 6 ch rca output to front, rear, sub. 4V output is nice. Sub output is active at 80 LP and the others are at 80 HP. The amps do the rest. I don't do anything special and front and rear speakers are at standard 4 ohm 4 ch and sub is bridged at 2 ch 4 ohm. It is loud being it is a smaller cab area to fill for sound. But i will increase the power little more when i get the new Pioneer GM-DX874. Not the 8704 but the 874. Yes there is 2 types of the same amp. According to the Pioneer web site, One is Hi Def rated with "hi quality sound parts" better parts inside. I been seeing deals for some Factory refurbished units on internet recently and decided to pull trigger for the new GM-DX874. $150. I have had good luck with only factory refurbished stuff and not 3rd party. Purchased many stuff over the years. Some have different opinions on this but i ONLY buy factory refurbished.
