Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1344 Registered: Apr-05 | ^^^ First hand example why high post count doesn't neccisarily mean you know more... lol JK bro. It's simple, the stronger the signal sent from the HU the less that amp has to work to amplify it. In a nutshell... lol Good read: http://www.bcae1.com/preoutv.htm |

So its really totaly up to you whether you think you should get a new HU or not |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11651 Registered: Dec-03 | higher preout voltage has a lower noise floor (better SNR) and gives a cleaner signal at the amplifier input stage. It also yields a higher resolution signal, technically. "taller" sine wave means more room for subtle nuances in signal fluctuation (more detail) what it won't do is make your system any louder. |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1605 Registered: Jan-06 | A higher voltage means almost nothing if the build quality isn't there. This falls under the pretence that a volt is a volt but in fact this is not true. If all in all is true and the quality is there, clean signal and all then what Glass says is true but I have seen POS head units with high pre outs but it sounded like crap due to the distortion. Try sticking with a well known brand or just ask others what they think.... Polo.  |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 959 Registered: Mar-06 | Like this one. Eclipse 55060 Competition level Head Unit. This is regarded as one of the best head units ever made. DOES NOT SUPPLY POWER TO SPEAKERS, REQUIRES AMPLIFIERS. Copper Chassis, Eclipse Security Network, 8V Output. This was installed for one audio competition, and then replaced in its box. Paid 1000, selling for $500 or best offer. Its a true SQ CD/Receiver. |
