Headunit With A Nice Preamp Voltage Setting

[RamenNoodles 10+ year member]

Well as some of you may know, my BTL was friend and I think that one of the main factors of this happening was the bad quality headunit I am using. I had to have the gains and the bass boost up quite high in order to push the BTL at all. Its a Jensen VM8012. I believe that the preamp voltage this thing has is a measly 1.5vrms. I need a new headunit and am really looking for a decent quality headunit to run my system. I am in need of a middle of the range one that wont break my bank. Meaning over $200.

I found this Clarion with 6 preamp volts.

Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what type of headunit I should purchase?

Panasonic makes some nice ones, for a great price

There are some decent looking ones that have at most 5volts and are in that price range.

Thanks for the idea!

The eclipse has the most preamp voltage and a nice 7 band equalizer but its not a sleak and nice looking as the last Clarion...

You should have no problem setting gains with a 2v pre-out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
