I dont know much about car audio, but Im looking to spend about 150 on a HU. Any educated opinions on whats good for that price?
Dear Ben, do you need a one DIN or 2 DIN head unit? Please check your height, 50mm is for single din, 100mm is for 2 din. Then to tell you the truth, it's possible to get a good single HU easily even under 150, but for double din, seems impossible...
its a single din. the only thing that I really need is for it to have front, rear, and sub preouts...I have a 5 channel 1000w amp, kenwood 6x9 rear, infinity 6.5 fronts...no sub yet but looking.I just want as good of sound as i can get.
There are a lot out there for your needs. look at pioneer premier head units or Alpine.. Would you also want a head unit with T/A (time alignment) settings?
What exactly is time alignment settings?...Also, What kind of sub should I be looking for with the wattage that my amp is pushing, I was thinking 10"
well, time alignment is setting the timing from different speakers. it's more for SQ heads. go for a simple stereo that has 4 or 5v preouts.. what is the exact model of your 5 channel amp? I may have asked this before, i forgot so refresh my memory if i already asked you that. as far as the size of the sub, it's all up to you and what your goal is for having a sub? what kind of music do you listen to? do you want crazy bass or just a little boom in the back? if you want stronger bass i would say go with a bigger sub like a 12" or higher depending on what your amp puts out
