Preout voltage means absolutly nothing if you do not have an amp. Preout voltage is like wattage in RCAs.

In my old Pioneer 900 series it had a 13 band eq. Thats just nuts. My pioneer screen doesnt perform as well as Id like it too though. But hey, who can complain when you get DVD, and NAVI all built into one unit. The new Alpine screens with the pulse touch are pretty cool but the brain is freaking outragoulsy huge and then they have external power supply. Ridiculous that is doesnt even come with NAV and the brain is twice the size of the Pioneer. Also the face doesnt detach on the Alpine.

Although, in the Alpines defense when you pop in a DVD and the little menu comes up you can actually just use the touch screen to choose your option, not like every other brand that you have to use the up, left, right, and down thingy like you do at home. THats pretty freaking sweet.

 

yeah sorry...didnt mean to write that it makes a difference without an amp....don't know what I was thinking, but civiccrazy's plan was to run an amp...I think...dont remember what the original post was anymore, so it would make sense to pay attention to that when buying a head unit with plans of hooking any kind of amp up to it down the road.

 

Yeah preamp voltage is a huge deal when running an amp


To bad people arent making screens that perform well......................yet
