[QUOTE="Kazmer81, post: 8306994, member: 662755"] I'm not trolling, I genuinely need help and will post photos if necessary. Situation: I bought an Clarion CZ702 on Ebay for what I thought was a good deal ($85). I received it today and now I feel like I was ripped off. The pre-amp RCA outputs were cut off internally (no way to fix it) and I'm wondering if the sound will be decent if I hook up my Polk Audio DB6501 straight from the wire harness line output. The only reason I believe it was not stolen is because it came with the original packaging and matching serial number on the box. Also, the Sirius XM and USB wiring in back was also cut off too short to repair. I do not yet have an amp, so I was planning on using this head unit as is until I can afford an amp, but when I eventually do want to upgrade, I'm afraid I will need the RCA output. Questions: Are the CZ702 internal cross overs as well as the high and low pass filters only usable through the pre-amp RCA outputs or will I still receive the benefit of those features without them? I am trying to figure out what I am really missing out on here and whether or not I should just return this head unit. [B]Ultimately, I'd like to know if I will get decent sound without the RCA pre-amps, and I'd like to know what I'm missing out on for not having the RCA outputs. [/B] If you can help me out with this, I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you in advance, M [/QUOTE]
