xXx iKoN xXx Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 If it were me... I would. I know there is a Kenwood HU that has 5V outputs but I believe it runs about $450 to $500.

hdorre Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) You'll have better sound quality but I wouldnt waste the money (keep in mind that I'm a highschool student who only works 15 hours a week) Edited April 29, 2010 by hdorre Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx iKoN xXx Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Agree completely "hdorre" but if somebody is really looking for great quality sometimes the extra cash spent will help. Me personally I would do it if I had the money but also I would not be getting an eq with 6 or 7V outputs, 3 or 4V seems just fine. If I were him I'd sell the eq and buy another.

I understand that the money will help, but to me it's not worth it. Of course I wouldn't get a crappy headunit with like .5 volt preouts. It all depends on what you are looking for. For example, my dad would do the upgrade because all he wants is SQ Edited April 29, 2010 by hdorre Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileSwimmer4444 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 thankx guys. ha. 15 hours huh? but ya, im just wondering if, because the eq has higher voltage outputs, will the fact that the h/u has lower voltage effect the purpose of having the eq...?

What the eq does is equalize sound (obviously). You will get the same frequencies with the two headunits, but the sound quality would be different this is to back myself up about the 15 hrs a week..haha. I work at a daycare center that has an afterschool program to watch the elementary and intermediate schools in the district. The kids get there around 4 pm and the place closes at 7. I applied to watch afterschool so 3 hours times 5 days is 15 hours. The reason I don't work on weekends is because my parents are divorced and I go to my dads house on the weekends Edited April 29, 2010 by hdorre Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx iKoN xXx Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Again like he said it will not defeat the purpose, so it is all on your decision. But then again what else are you going to be running in the truck???
