Is this HU worth using?

I bought this Pioneer HU for my sister in 2005 to run her stock speakers, she used it for maybe a yr. and the car died I pulled it out and it has been in my closet since.

So I am getting a work beater and thought about some PG RSD 6 1/2 comps or some CDT CL62 comps a small sub and a couple of amps to run them. I see this deck is only 2.2 volt pre outs. Am I going to be disapointed in this HU? The reviews say the SQ is good, I hate to see it collecting dust. I would also utilize the Sirius as well. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

I just noticed in the specs there is no preout for a sub just a 4 channel preout does this mean I cannot run a sub?

I found this quote but do not understand it???

Two pairs of phono-jacks are subwoofer line-level outputs and pre-amp outputs. Alternatively, you can configure the internal amplifiers for the rear speakers to drive subwoofers directly instead of rear speakers, avoiding the need for subwoofer amplifiers

I used to have that same deck a while ago. I loved it. I hated it when Pioneer went to the one knob ype control. Older Pioneer FTW!

Will they ever go back to two knobs or will knobs disappear all together?

It seem like touch screen is going to be the next?
