[QUOTE="Flex68, post: 7732616, member: 638503"] Your plan is bassackwards, imo. They are referred to as 'source units' and/or 'head units' for a reason, and if you skimp on this area it will adversely affect the remainder of your system choices, no matter how good they may be. In other words, if there is going to be a weak link in the chain, you don't want it to be your HU. I would choose a solid HU, [B]first[/B], and then fill-in the rest of my components as the money was available. I would suggest looking for HUs with 4-8V preouts. Eclipse and Alpine come to mind as offering some solid choices, and picking them up used would be the way to go, just as someone suggested earlier... [/QUOTE]
