That head unit is garbage.

no sub i only have 400 dollars for the system so the speakers should put out enough bass

can you reccomend a good head unit?

Amazon.com: Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS Single Din In-Dash CD/MP3 Receiver.: Car Electronics

What's wrong with the head unit? It's the same one I was looking at. Anything else you can recommend that's a double DIN and not a touch screen.

That's much better.

Don't buy a double din that is my recommendation.

I don't mean to change the topic of the thread but-

Do you mind explaining why? I have a 8th gen Civic, and if you get a single DIN you have a giant pocket under the radio, which wouldn't be bad if you didn't already have 4 storage pockets in the car.

It has only 2 pre outs so, if you want to run front and rear speakers with a sub you need a different head unit. Also it has 2 volts pre outs and looks overall just to be poor quality.
