It's ok guys - think I've found the one I will require! £105 - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pioneer-deh-4200sd.html Love my Pioneers! If anyone can find more features for less of a price though, I'm game! (i don't care about SD card input!) |

Well from actually owning it, it does have all of those things apart from the 2 more outputs (Which you don't need unless you want like 6 subs lol) And the 7 pre-set EQ curves, the kenwood has 11 And D/A is another name for RDS |

Yeah I've had in my time a sony (which was actually very good) alpine, pioneer, jvc and a kenwood, but I've always been most impressed with the features of the pioneer. I think i've already made up my mind but I do appreciate all the input. I miss the acoustics of the 306 as anything sounded brilliant in them compared to the cabins of the fiesta, 106 and the tinny light sound of the teg! (worst car for acoustics ever!)I just want a HPF as i'm keeping my standard speakers in there, and just want to clarify them as much as possible whilst all bass goes into my JL audio 10". The amp I have has HPF and LPF but it's only a 4/3 channel amp, and i'm using it basically as a mono block for the sub. Thinking about it I could get away with using the headunit preout for the sub and the other 4 speakers for the amp, but that involves too much messing about really! |

That's how i have my setup for my sub too, it's a 4 channel but i just have it on LPF mono for the sub I've changed all of my original speakers for 180w ones, but the good thing is you can't see that i have changed them - i think thats chavvy. I do remember once when i was playing around with my headunit it gave me options on what size my speakers are, options for front, rear and sub/rear I think it did 4", 5"1/2, 6", 6x9, 7x10, and for the sub it went up from 6-15" Can't remember how i did it now though :/ I did a vid a while back on my headunit, just waiting for it to upload on youtube and i'll send you the link.. |

Filmed it on my trusty JVC Everio, not HD, but acceptable quality as it has a Konica Minolta 2.2-77mm lense with 35x optical zoom. Main reason why i got it was for sound quality and it's got 2.1 channel, picks up the bass really well and doesn't distort on anything below 130db
