The set up your talking about would sound great in my Tahoe. Trade you my dog for it. He has one eye but that only makes for bad depth perception so hey so what if he is running into shit, look at it this way he is easy to sneak up ninja style on. (right side only)

You know thats pretty damn cool. I've been reading up on setting my gains and I happened to read an article on RF that when setting the deck volume you could turn any RF deck all the way up because their decks have no clipping which would makes sense with that Pioneer going all the way to 61 outta 62.

ya i was thinkin of going to Kragens or Autozone and buying a cheap ass 59 dollar cd player just so i COULD demonstrate clipping - f#ckin pioneer dont wanna clip till i dropped the disc to 0db. I normally like to go -5db on the mids/highs and -10db on the bass but at that rate i couldnt square it off. A cheap deck would square off way sooner then that.....

im glad u guys found that helpful, i will for SURE set the deck gains tonite. Lots of you this will be old news but to some its the first time seeing it - and everyone needs to SEE it for the first time :)
