All depends on what u are looking for in a HU.. Not all HU's are created equal..

I have both an alpine 9887, and a pioneer 9800bt with the ib200 if you are interested.........more likely than not the best ones in this price range.

I also have a bnib rockford fosgate stereo.

I would use a head unit and hook it up with subs, if that helps with info.

Not really. I assume u mean u need a HU that has preamps so you can connect a amp to the HU to run your subs? No HU can power a sub with its built in amp.

 

[Sketchup 10+ year member]

None of the built in stuff and eventually ill get some speakers that would require an amp too

Most HU's provide around 15watts per channel. So no you can not power a sub with just the HU's internal amp. U can power door speakers but even that is kinda cloudy as 15watts is not alot of power for any type of speaker.

So ideally you'll want an HU with 3 pairs of pre-outs....

$350 is awfully close the MSRP of the upcoming new Pioneer DEH-80PRS. NOTHING can come close to it except for used gear, add or subtract a $200 or so, in terms of features:

* 3-way active crossover

* 14 band equalizer _for each side_

* time alignment

* Automatic tuning for the above

* High voltage output

* Bluetooth support

Ik I can't power the subs or speakers with the hu. I stated my #5 statment^ when I was in class at school. So I didn't really have to long to type it out, kinda have to think fast. What I meant was to run the hu with the amp which then to the sub. sry bout dat bruh

I really don't know a whole lot about pioneer at all. My friend just recently got one of their hu. The one reason that I don't know if I trust them is because they sell some at wal-mart. But I don't really know a whole lot about them. =P just sayin . . . whats your experiences which them?

The pioneer AVH series is great, I have the 3200DVD and a number of people on this forum will vouch for others in the series.
