01 S-10 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I'm in the market for a new head unit with a budget of around $200. The 2 main things I want it to have are a USB for playing and charging my Ipod and at least 4 volt outputs. I've heard a lot of good things about JVC and they really seem to give you some nice features for the price(especially 3 5volt outputs). Anyone have any experience with them and opinions? Not really interested in Pioneer because of all the noise issues they have and Alpine only puts the 4 volt outputs on the more expensive models. Quote TDH FTW !!!

finkster Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 JVC makes some neat stuff. 2 volt pre outs arent that bad in reference to alpines. Only thing i dont like about the 9886 is that the ipod function is slow.

Only thing i dont like about the 9886 is that the ipod function is slow. they say 2 volt pre out but its really around 1 - 1.5 i had a jvc before. i upgraded to a bran new 4 volt kenwood. made a night and day difference.

BanginOnABudget Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Yeah, i had 2 higher end JVC head units, they sounded like shit compared to a $70 pioneer, the 4 volt preouts REALLY make a difference, like he said. i will pm you a link to a headunit you should get. Quote im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire.

Yeah actually the new Kenwood Excelon for $179 was my first choice. Heard mixed reviews on it but most were good. So the sound quality on the Kenwood was that much better than the JVC?

I have looked at the Pioneers also but the whole noise issue from the RCA's is something I don't want to take a chance on, especially after I saw the ghetto way that Pioneer recommends to fix it.
