Deck! or no deck. Need advice on.

[matthew17]

Here is the scoupe. I have a shitty deck in my 1999 Honda Civic

DEH-415 - Old Pioneer Deck probly has .5volts preouts to 2volts max/



Off that im running a Pheonix Gold 200.3 Titinum Amp Running 500x2 RMS



to 2 15inch Tantrum SUbs. in a custom sealed box.


so i was looking at getting a

Clarion 825 ? 4 Volts preouts. 24 Bit Dual Convertors...
better sound quality im sure..

would that make a big diffence in sub quality also it has sub out etc...


please help soon im byuing it tomorow if i get enough anwers.

I think the 4 volt preout makes a difference....just sends a cleaner signal to the amp.

When I upgraded my deck on the current car from stock to the Kenwood KDC-Mp8017 (mp3 deck) (aka Excellon I think), it did make a difference in sound quality (stock system so far)

how old is your pioneer? At 2v, it isnt that bad really..

I sense you want loud bass.. Having higher voltage preouts doesnt necessarily give you that.

At the moment, how is the gain on your amp set?

Hey another canadian! From where exactly?

gain is fine

its an older deck probly 1995 or 1996


im pretty hardcore into stereo and i do all install myself

but im just in a cashflow shortage and i dont wanna invest


i got 4thosand so far invested now everything is awesome

except for my deck


which is shitty quality im sure..

so seeying the main power and quality starts at teh deckk

i think i should buy a new one right.?
