Only 2v Pre Amp out on the head units.. Not a fan if that. Other wise I like the idea.

This is what stopped me from getting it since I need 4v for my stock Bose system. I went with the AVH-X5500BHS instead.

Im glad I didnt know this when I bought the unit as it might have also kept me from buying it. Turns out it wasnt a big deal for me as I got what seems like excellent sound to my non audiophile ears.

You can use the best amps out there, but with lower voltage pre outs you have more noise induced in the travel though the car hence a higher noise to sound ratio.

so what your saying is that this head unit is not gonna have a good audio quality no matter what speakers i choose or amps. compared to lets say a Pioneer avic-z150bh since thats a 4v? or am i understanding this the wrong way?.

I think people are getting a little too hung up on the preout voltage... 4V preouts technically will pick up less noise, but I don't think you're going to hear the difference. Just run your cables properly.

You will get good sound quality just your going to have to turn your gains up higher on your amps which can in term allow more noise to be amplified. Not saying you will hear noise just the higher voltage of a normal head unit 4 volt pre out will be better than 2 volt which is really low. To give you an idea of how low eclipse use to run 8 volt pre out.

You should get slightly hung up on the pre amp voltage as the audio starts at the head unit so anything good or bad done there will be amplified down line.
