[QUOTE="CapriRS, post: 8741219, member: 675528"] I have a similar Sony head unit so I hear you about that complicated menu. Problem is almost all head units now are like that with a gajillion settings and menu options to scroll through mostly controlled by the volume knob. Really one of the only ways to get a simple bass/treble/balance/fader type menu is to go with an older non bluetooth headunit or a VERY low end model. It depends what sources/functions you need? If you don't need a CD player and tuner you could just get a pre-amp. You definitely don't need the high power built in amp. Salesman was honestly a jerk selling you that unit if he knew you were going with the JL amps. The head unit I have is functionally identical aside from the amp and 5volt outs for a lot less. I bought a small bluetooth receiver for my parents tv that has a tuner, pre outs, aux ins, USB etc. that has NO menus and is all controlled by buttons and knobs. Very simple. Can run off 120 or 12 volts. It's not Din sized though it's like a micro home receiver. Super cheap too I think it was like 50 bucks. [/QUOTE]
