Going to need a new HU soon,looking for suggestions.

[Phreaker 10+ year member]

Right now I am using the Sony CDX-M630 HU I bought for $80 from my g/f's sister 2 years ago.

This thing is starting to take shits on me.Sometimes to turn the vlume down I have to use the close button and sometimes when I try to change the source (CD,Radio,Aux) the HU will close instead of switching to the desired source and sometimes when I press eject it will turn the volume up instead of ejecting my cd.

I know it's not from my install becuase it has worked flawlessly up until about 3 weeks ago.

I don't have any comps for the car's interior just some stok 3" dash speakers that eventually will be upgraded and then I plan on having door pods or something made so I can have like a 5.25" or 6.5" midrange in each front door's kick panel.

Basiclly I am looking for a HU that has three pre-amp outputs (Front,back,Subwoofer) is Chassis size IEJ and would be a good choice for a SQL system.

I would Like to pay no more then $200 with shipping but if a good buy can be found for $150 I would be happy.

Why buy new if your buying Unauthorized and tossing the warranty anyway? Save a few bucks and buy a quality used one, or spend the extra coin and get the coverage.

I have had bad luck in the past wit used electronics so If anyone cares to help then please help...which one of those HU would best suit me?

I am thinking about the kenwoods since they had 3 sets of 4v pre-amp outputs but the alpines have a better Signal to Noise ratio.
