list for compatible stereos
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34668_PAC-SWI-RC.html

hmmmm im bit confused...

it seems the 2 pioneers i posted above are both 2v, and this means they can possibly be more likely to have hissing sounds at higher volumes due to having to run the amp at a higher gain level. and this would cause more power to be used from the amp and make the amp more prone to overheating. although i heard using good quality wires would make the hissing noise much less if at all. but i believe the fact that 2v stereo would require more power from amp is enough of a reason for me to look for a 4v or higher stereo?

it seems all lower end pioneer stereos are rated at 2v. and lower end pioneer are all around $100 to $150. im not looking to spend more than this on a stereo

so i need to look for another stereo that has at least 4v, 3 RCA outputs (aka 6 channels, 2 channels per output)

and has aux and usb front inputs. dont like the rear inputs for these. and ill try and look for the most EQ bands possible. More EQ seems better, allows to customize sound better!

looks like this pioneer is single din, has 4 volts preamp, and only $129.75.
wireless remote, 5-Band parametric equalizer with 7 selectable tone curves, 3 Sets of 4V preamp outputs (front, rear and subwoofer)

but its got rear aux and rear usb.... lawl.... only negative, but i think i can just run the aux and usb cables to my center arm rest console?

seems good

this is the same exact head unit except this one has HD radio and cost a bit more. But the one above has the option for XM radio if you buy adapter and subscription. HD radio is free. seems like better option, i have a few radio stations with hd radio near me

okay i need to rethink my purchase on the head unit. it seems that pioneer has many reviews saying its extremely difficult to navigate using only two buttons and no presets for radio.

ill be looking for a different head unit later

possibly this one
Kenwood Excelon KDC-X599 $108.93
http://www.amazon.com/Kenwood-KDC-X599-Bluetooth-Receiver-Compatibility/dp/B00QCVWDG0

its cheaper. has front aux and usb inputs, and 4v preamp

and 5 band graphic EQ


Alpine CDE-HD148BT
this alpine seems pretty legit, large eq, 24 bit DAC, 4v preamp, alot of controls to adjust things, but its $189.99. expensive

Alpine CDE-153BT $149.99, usb and aux inputs both in the front
cheaper version of the alpine, main difference seems to be this is a 2v preamp

Alpine CDE-164BT maybe this one, can be found for $183.97 on amazon, seems main difference between this and the other one at around $180, is this one has a 2 way crossover and 3 way crossover to edit sounds from tweeters, mids, and lows

Suggested this amp kit for 4 channel amp

$69.99
NVX XKIT84
100% Copper, 4-Channel True Spec 8 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit w/ RCA Interconnect and 65 ft Speaker Cable

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_66498_NVX-XKIT84.html

i got the above nvx amp kit, its 8 gauge so sort of worries me. but i was told that because its 100% copper that it should be fine.

this was the other kit that was shown as an example of a bad amp kit, and how its misleading on its gauge number
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_69628_Belva-BAK44.html




and this was used as what would be a 4 gauge but would cost $120 instead of the $60 that i paid for the other gauge amp kit
