[QUOTE="x2o, post: 3958589, member: 582175"] Wow, I go to take a shower and the thread explodes with content [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif[/IMG] So the Pioneer's are annoying to use eh? Forget that then, I'm easily frustrated by stupid design flaws that make every day use tough. I saw the 512mb of memory on the kenwood 991 and the USB port, but wasn't sure how it all worked. You say it works well? I'll take that into serious consideration then. And as to whether I'm looking for anything specific : Not really, ability to go active would be nice but not an immediate problem, mainly looking for a nice strong sub preamp out (4v or 5v or whatever), good functionality, and most important a price : performance ratio. I don't mind spending a bit of money as long as I actually get a decent performance boost from it say over a cheaper one. Thanks a lot for all these replies, I'm looking into them now.
