[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7840690, member: 624844"] Awesome post! Everything you said was right on. I have a $60 Pioneer deck that sounds OK in my beater work truck, and it puts $100 Boss and other low end decks to shame. It definitely clips the signal on anything but the "flat" or "normal" settings. Most people don't have a trained ear to hear when they are clipping or damaging their speakers. I know many people that are blowing or have blown their speakers and can't even hear the speaker hating life until its too late! lol If you have a good quality D/A converter (24 bit burr brown) in your CD player and are running an external amp......you will be hard pressed to hear the SQ difference. I am running a $130 Kenwood deck with a 24-bit Burr Brown into a Rockford 501x amp....it sounds great to me, and I've heard 100's of systems. I think its more like 50% install and 50% equipment...contrary to what I read on this forum. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Current head units: Kenwood, Pioneer (x2), Harmon Kardon.... all in near daily use. [/QUOTE]
