lol im sure you have no problem with the ladies. im really not to worried about the 2v preamp because an amp should take care f that and when i came to the kenwood units they just weren't attractive enough for me (sorry bro =P). i actually looked at the pioneer unit you guys were talking about i believe that it was the newer one the avic-n4 and i liked it until i found out the disc had to be inserted every time you wanted to use nav and that turned me off immediately. but ive been looking around and i was going to order the unit off sonicelectronix or crutchfield, but i think im gonna pay the extra 100$ or so and just get it from a local place for 1050 with a 3 year warranty. what you guys think about that situation, because i myself would rather go to somewhere that i cant look at someone and be like fix this biatch, opposed to mailing it away.
