you can't mute them completly, but you can turn them down till where they are hardly audible

one question though, if it doesnt have a built in amplifier does that mean i have to amp my front and rear speakers???

Yes. You must use an external amplifier to power your front and rear speakers.

the only thing i don't like about them (I never used the 8053, but have used the 8443) is that you can't mute sub.

On the 8053 you can adjust the attenuation all the way down to infinite attenuation...which is essentially muted.

hmmm, i guess i should have looked into that before, i have an extra amp, but that might be more trouble than its worth to run another amp

Yeah...would have been wise //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

How much did you pay for the 8053?

I wouldn't call that a *great* deal....that's about what they are going for right now. Average is about $275-$300 for one in good condition.

But, you should be able to sell it without losing any money.

**** im depressed now, how hard is it to amp front and rear speakers if i already have a sub amp ran and i need to run another, do i have to run a whole nother power wire, etc.??

thanks

do i have to run a whole nother power wire, etc.??

If your power wire is adequately sized, you can just use a distrobution block to split your current power wire to both amps. You could also just splice off of your current REM wire to the new amp aswell. Only "new" wires you'll need to run are the RCA wires to the amp for the highs, aswell as a ground wire for the new amp.

i'll trade you an 8443 for it. basically same thing except the 8443 has an internal amp

so it makes it harder to adjust the sub in pro mode??

You just have to go back to normal mode to adjust the sub. I had one of those decks(excellent as was every other eclipse I ever owned). Adjusting the sub volume really only took about 10 seconds...no big deal, imo.

It is a great sounding deck.
