[QUOTE="adam71, post: 887788, member: 549079"] I guess I wasn't that clear in what I said. But what I actually meant by decks with NO internal amps is that those high end decks are of the highest quality. I didn't mean that NOT having an internal amp was the DIRECT reason for them being higher sound quality but rather INDIRECTLY. Decks without int. amps are also better in every other way. Better RCA output stage, copper plated chassis for better isolation, digital output (in some of them) and the best of parts selection put into them. They do one thing (play cd's) and do that one thing VERY, VERY well. Just like high end home stereo. Everyone knows seperates are better than receivers. Same difference here.

The equalizers or the head units themselves. I was comparing the head units themselves. The 8455's EQ is obviously more flexible but let's say for the sake of argument a person has a car and after setting it up that after using a 13 band eq he has a good response and the 13 band graphic were ok in this sense, and there was NO need for a parametric. Taking this a step further lets say that you use an outboard (trunk mount) equalizer, not much use for the deck's eq in any event. My comparison was sound quality only NOT features. Even if the features help SQ. I mean my P9 has only bass and treble but you wouldn't say the 8455 is a better unit would you. Even if I wasn't using the DEQ-P9 processor. But hey, just my opinion.
