MrSkippyJ Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Anyone who needs that technical of information isn't looking for a lower end unit anyway. If they need that technical of information then they already know it. The base sound between any of the units at a retail store (of any quality units) is going to be very similar anyway, so selling the features of the unit will be much more effective than trying to use details of technical information. Some things that will be helpful to you are how the units will interact with how the customer will use it. For example, if they are using an Android phone then find a unit that works well with those. If they are using USB at all, know which units have quality D/A converters. And this is how i approach every car audio sale. Features first. At the end of the day 99% of the customers will not tell the difference. Those who will are not shopping at best buy or require a higher end to suit their needs anyway. Thanks for seeing what I was saying and not just writing me off as ignorant. But this is where it gets a bit tricky. You aren't going to find significant differences in the output side of most similarly priced (and also similar quality) head units. Yes there will be differences in crossovers and EQs and things like that, but the actual output (ie the amp) really won't sound that different. Where you can get drastic differences is how each head units treats it's inputs. D/A converter quality can vary greatly and effect the sound a lot. AUX in connections can sound different too. Those are the areas you need to know about.

Jdon13 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 MrSkippyJ I would be very interested in learning anything you might know about these processes and how they affect the output. As I said I came here to learn. If you care to, send me a private message and I will soak in any info I can gain from you. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I wish I knew more about it. I have always just used my ears. Plugged in my own iPod and made sure it sounded good to me.
