f/r/s @4v, remote, less than $200

[madshoe 10+ year member]

basic setup:

four channel amp for alpine typeR components front and rear.

mono block amp for two subs

I've looked at Alpine, Pioneer, Sony, and Kenwood headunits. I'm just so irritated everything is blending together in one lump. I'm looking for 3 4v preouts with remote around 200 shipped.

no other electronics, like equalizers, preamps, etc etc, so I need some tuning features built in.

ANy suggestions? How and why do some Sonys come with 4volt? (i'm so tempted!)

Pioneer 770MP is ~$200. I cannot remember if it has a remote but it does have 4 volt rca outs.

Yes it has a remote and of course 3 sets of 4v preouts. Great deck IMO.

I just picked up a 7995 for like 175.

hey thanks for your recommendations... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The alpine 7995 is a great idea, but he wants flexabilty incase he moves the headunit to another car and doesn't want to have an amp for some reason. Plus I can't find any online store that has any, discontinued?

Is there a substantial difference to go with the pioneer premier 7700mp or just stick with the pioneer 770mp?

It's a toss up between those pioneers and the alpine 9851 even though it only has 2v preouts. bleh.

all the preout voltage does is keep your gains lower along with the noise floor. Something a simple 2v out could do.

I'm sure the amps we choose aren't gonna be the best quality or highest priced, so I'm trying to keep the signal as clean as possible for as long as possible while having some adjustments up front. Of course, clean sounding systems can be made out of a single 1.Xv preout as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I like the Pioneer Premier DEH-P770MP in specs, but I'm not too much a fan of the layout. Same is the case with the Kenwood KDC-X589. eww yucky.

Anybody know about the Kenwood KDC-MP4028? Online car stereo has it for 148!

Thats cheap and it has the basic specs I'm looking for. According to one of the reviewers, the built in amp can be turned off too. What you all think?
