Head Unit for independant sub control

[DubStyle311 10+ year member]

I have a about a 4 year old kenwood head unit that used to be fine for my system, but since i put in two JL 12's, I find the lack of sub control on it to be really irritating.

My friends all have alpines and suggest those to me but im looking for what the experts here would suggest for best mix of quality and price.

Im trying to spend anywhere from around 200-400 dollars and the most important features I need are the sub control and CD changer controls so i can hook up my mp3 player directly into the deck.

umm well "sub control" is basically a standard feature on all decks now-a-days , even my old alpine 7874 has a "sub out feature" and a elementary bass equalizer

Are you meaning you want to hook up a CD changer directly to the deck or the .mp3 player?

If you have a Kenwood changer and are wanting direct connection with the associated controls you'll have to replace your current deck with an updated/upgraded Kenwood unit.

If the direct connection you were inquiring about is only for an outboard .mp3 player of some kind then most HU manufacturers are offering some type of iPod connection or aux input of some kind on the majority of their decks nowadays...
