hey - im looking to get a new HU. and also one of those under seat powered woofers ... (i.e. kenwood ksc-wa62rc).

the woofer says it can take rca and speaker level input. what do i need on my headunit to be able to send a signal to this thing? most of the HU i see say something like "preamp level output" or "rear preamp output" some even say "subwoofer preamp output" . im not looking to spend a lot on the HU, and since the woofer is powered i dont need an amp.

Just get a Clarion 325Z, or Pioneer 2400 it's cheap has a pretty clean internal amp and has 1 set of Pre-outs (RCA out)

thankx mohawk ...

whats ur feelin on clarion and kenwood in general?

what do you think of the kenwood KDC-MPV619?

what would be a good alternative to the above kenwood if im looking for MP3 playback?

Clarion I very muc like...appearance wise..their kinda ugly..but great sound in general.. very reliable.. minimal skipping with the high end HU's. (high sensitivity optics skip easier) The lower end units just don;t skip..

As far as Kenwood.. For an Amplified sub I'd either go with a Bazooka, or Infinity Basskink ($$$) Both are much better sounding..

well i kinda need my trunk space so i wanted to get an under seat model - and the only one that crutchfield had was the model in my first post. the second post is actually a kenwood HU. im looking to buy both (1) the kenwood sub (unless u can recommend a better sub that wont take up needed space) and (2) a HU with preamp outputs and mp3 playback and blue lighting


which would you recommend of the following (under $300) mp3 CD players

There's no under seat model that will work with our cars because of the crossmember under the seat and the vents. It won't fit.. also a Bazooka tube don't take much room at all. Nor does the Basslink..

i usually dont shop there cuz i know their prices are way high. I just go there to look for models cuz they got lots of info and lotsa brands. Once I pick a model, I go somewhere else to actually buy.

Guess what I saw the other day at CarTunes, here in Chattanooga?
One of those spare tire subs that Pioneer makes/made. If you're looking to save space, this "could" be an option (err..maybe not), although I doubt it'd sound very good compared to even a good 8" sub. I think they have a 6" speaker inside.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

I agree with mohawkboom, I'd go with something like the Bazooka tubes or a Basslink. One of the uber-knowledgeable peeps at circuit city </sarcasm> told me once that the Basslink didn't sound as good as a good 10" with a good box. Best thing is to go to your favorite audio shop and listen to them.

HEY MOHAWK....

just ordered the DEH-P7400MP .... lookin forward to it.

Got it for $237 shipped from www.6ave.com D


is there any special wiring harness or install kit that i have to buy to make this fit?

all you need is a trim kit.. wiring can always be done without an adapter for HU's.. but you can get the harness and avoid splicing wires entirely..

splicing wires isnt so hard - ive done it for the Reverse EL gauges. But for a radio im thinking i have to do a lot more wires.

and where can i get a trim kit?
