I honestly think that 4x40w really is all you need these days. Amps.....crossovers....subs...meh. Just get a 4x40 from a reputable brand (usual suspects, Sony, Kenwood, JVC etc) or push the boat out and get a 4x50 and be done with. Most cost effective and don't really need much more. Inside cars have become much more refined from the fiestas and escorts from yesteryear and road noise doesn't need to be over come for most of us. Just get an android head unit and don't waste your money on anything more. It's not worth the expense.
I Like pioneer which I have used for years because of the sound quality and I can download customize the background with logo's. Do the JVC and Kenwood do these. Nobody mentions that?
Hello I am expecting my TOYOTA CAMRY to come from Japan this month. Can you suggest what is the best unit for it? My needs is mostly carplay and of course good sound. Also I would like to have the informations about the car like Hybrid use tyres presure ecc...and if is possible to have wireless iphone mirroring. Thanks in advance
I dont know what HU to get. I have about $350 to spend but can go a little over budget. I want to get something that will last, is reliable, and just is all around good HU.
Yeah alpine hasn’t had those for a while. Normally they were $299 but raised the retail to $349 and we still can’t get them. I’ve seen them as high as $750 on Amazon!!!! I like that radio at $300-$350 but $750. No way!! We have several hundred on order but there is no ETA so maybe look at JVC or Sony. Their stock is better then most
Looking for Options for a 2021 Subaru WRX mainly wanting wireless apple car play and also good EQ. I am big fan of DDX396 kenwood with the knobs. I have one in my Foxbody and Silverado. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Love your videos Man great job. I wish you were local I’d just bring my wrx in.
Mario, Your best bet for overall performance would be the Sony XAV-AX7000, though note that your speakers will need to be able to handle the 4x100 RMS it puts out. If you want/need CD/DVD playback, the Sony doesn't have it, so I'd aim you towards the Kenwood DDX6906S. This would be my "personal" selection, as it also offers Digital Time Alignment (which is a blessing). If you're just looking for the cheapest model to get you by, there's the Sony XAV-AX1000. Alternatively, adding an upmixer should give you the ability to "add" a center channel, regardless of what HU you buy, but that may not be the most economical way to go about things.
Hi nice video I have a Ford E350 15 passenger van I am looking for a car stereo double bin that does all that & rear DVD System play from the front unit ..sub & amplifier what do you recommend would greatly appreciate it recommendations where is your shop located
24 Bit/192 kHz is not needed for most music files and it says nothing about the quality of the DAC itself. More important is a digital output if you want to use a DSP. But you have to omit this feature because most of the headunits, especially from the traditional brands don't have one. And I guess you sell only these headunits...
man what would you recommend me for my 2017 mazda 3 ? I already have 2 jl 10w3v3 on a jl jx1000 amp and i also have a set of kappa auxiliary speaker in the rear door and focal a153 component up front. All the speakers are on a infinity amp 4 channel.

Great video! Thanks for the advice, if only there were radios available. Due to this COVID and chip shortage, head units are hard to get ahold of. And when you do find one, they price gouging.

I recently went from a 4v pre output head unit to a 2v head unit and the bass isn't as loud even with the gain adjusted up on my taramps smart 3k I've tried everything on the head units eq and I cannot get it to sound the same
The louder the beater: the smaller the peter. Same mentality as a big gorilla beating on a rusty old gas can to seem bigger to the other gorillas. Last time I checked a 2 year old can twist a dial to the right.
Do not buy any Pioneer products. I purchased a brand new AVH-W4500NEX Double Din Head Unit in May of 2020. By the beginning of August 2021, the head unit froze and went into a constant boot screen. Pioneer used the cheapest SD cards they could in these "top of the line" units, and after about a year (right past the 1 year manufacturers warranty) the SD card becomes corrupt rendering the head unit useless. You can either pay Pioneer almost $200 to fix it, or buy another unit. They will not help in any way. My head unit was almost $700, and lasted just over a year. The issue is widely known and Pioneer refuses to do anything about it besides charge you to fix their mistakes after purchasing a "top of the line" head unit. Multiple models are affected.
You missed a great opportunity to show us what stereos have all that 🤦♂️
any recommendations anyone? the requirements for me personally is wireless applecarplay, high voltage preouts and good sound processing

I don’t know of any that do. But if you need a center channel you can use a processor after the radio to achieve that.
