How important is a head unit for audiophiles


Recommended Posts

I don't think that time alignment thing works because my amp is hooked to the speakers unless this works through the rcas.

For SQ you should never do that, you should do it through "RCA"s, from Pioneer this is the best at a reasonable price:

The impressive stage 4 Pioneer HU costs really a lot:

From Alpine (if you can still find it):

That's how it's hooked up there's no other way to hook amp to mids and highs I thought

High end Head units like the above will do all crossovering, time alignment and equalization by themselves through DSP, then you just route RCAs to the amps an disable their own filtering (analog filters such those in amps introduce phase distortion) .

My Kenwood DD 896 had it all for audiophile needs. Digital time alignment, tons of crossover options, and an 11 band EQ with 3 different q settings. it was a $1000 HU though....I hope the thief that broke into my truck is taking full advantage of how badass it is......

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
