Upgrade worth it?


Recommended Posts

I currently have this head unit http://www.walmart.com/ip/JVC-KD-S37-USB-CD-Receiver-with-Front-AUX-In/15627186 with 2volt pre outs i believe. I was wondering if i upgraded to this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_48464_Kenwood-KDC-X696.html with 4volt pre outs if i would notice a difference in the way my system sounded. Higher pre outs are good right??

It makes a difference since you get a higher voltage from RCA's from HU to amp so you'll get better sound amongst other things. I say go for it.

I very HIGHLY doubt youd notice a difference. What are you running for your front stage?

I have to admit ... I like Kenwood a whole lot better than I do JVC ...

I think it would be a very nice upgrade ...

The increase in voltage will only slightly help as your amp is now capable of playing louder with less distortion than with the lower voltage.

The biggest improvement will come with a better H/U with higher pre-volt outputs, another option is a processor that increase output even higher than the 2v/4v H/U pre-outs can deliver.
