Why wouldn't you get it? Id like your explination other than "it's a little old".
Btw, I'm in Tampa if you're interested in it still.

This guide has some decent info for completely clueless people, but theres a lot of misinformation.
speakers arent "rated" for their power. Its a recommend number.
My components are rated for 60 watts, but i have 300 rms on each side. They sound amazing.
And the gain section is....interesting.
It doesnt even matter. You can try to explain gain all you want to people, but most on here will use it as a volume knob.

They have to underrate them so people don't toast them
Rms is only a thermal guideline anyway and not really important in the realm of things

Don't buy used stuff unless you can test them.
They're all pretty much the same besides a few odds and ends. Better interface, better sound quality, better ipod control. Go with whichever is in your budget.

thanks doom they are all in my budget but i've read things about the lesser models having 5 seconds between switching songs from the ipod and actually coming through speakers. being a constant song switcher i cant handle that

yea, it took me about an hour of listen to old *** music but I kinda got it. Im going to check it again tomm tho because I when I added a little more bass on the hu there was a tiny bit of distortion.

It shouldn't distort
Check the amp and make sure it's clicked on hpf and the hpf is set to 100hz
When u get a sub, set it down to 80.

I was leaning toward the Kenwood because it has Navi built in. Why don't you recommend it?

You need an add on piece for the navi that cost almost 300+

Oh wow, I thought it was built in on that one. BTW thanks for the help bro. So what would you ultimately recommend for my 03 Accord coupe? I've got a 12" Type R and a Kenwood 8105D amp. I really don't want to spend over $500 for a navi or over like 300 for a single.

There isn't really nothing that has navi for less than 5.
This is the cheapest i'd go for a DD http://www.sonicelectroni...Pioneer-AVH-P3200BT.html
