Ok I need help one more time as I'm VERY torn on a deck. I've got about 250 to 260 to spend...what I'm looking for is a deck with good Sound Quality and GREAT looks...I'm putting in a 4 channel amp and Mono Sub Amp. I DEFINATELY want 3 preouts...I'll look on ebay for it, but I need some help! Also I do want something with MP3 cababilities! I had a JVC KD-LH2000 before and I can get one again, but I'd like to see what else is out there. Thanks for the help!

Try Rockford's or Pioneer decks. They are nice looking decks and we have never had any problems with them.

I've actually been looking at RF headunits lately too. The RFX9220G, RFX9320G, or RFX9420.

The RFX9220G and RFX9320G have 3 sets of 5v RCA preouts, the RFX9420 has 3 sets of 8v RCA preouts.

What do you do if you have amps that have a minimum input sensitivity of 4v or 6v? I have 2 Kenwood KAC-649S amps running my front and rear coaxials and are 4v min sensitivity, and an RF Power 1000bd running my subs and is 6v min sensitivity.

You won't have any problems if the input sensitivity is a MIN of 4 V. If the MAX is 4 V then your gain control for the amp is pretty much limited to the output of the HU. This is good & bad because the minimum level of output will be higher, but your amp will not have to work as hard either.

Thx Jeff.

If I'm not mistaken, my 1000bd is 250mV - 6V (I think that translates .25V - 6V), and my KAC-649S's are 200mV - 4V (.2V - 4V)

Hopefully I didn't mix the min's and max's up, but I think it was the higher whole number is the min sensitivity.

Neither one of those 2 have an MP3 deck that looks good..was thinking Alpine, Kenwood, or JVC.

personally I love the way this one looks; I know a lot of people don't like the Pioneer's with the OEL display which is why I was suggesting this one cuz it looks completely different from the rest of their head units.
