head unit 1: I like it; 1 set of preamps
head unit 2: I don't like it: 2 sets of preamps & a sub preamp
(I wouldn't say I don't like it - I just think head unit 1 is better)
dilemma:
head unit 2 distorts earlier than head unit 1. (no amp hooked up; everything off head unit). however will it be the same for the preamps? since head unit 2 has basically 2 and a half preamps it would be easier when hooking up my amp. otherwise if I chose head unit 2, I'd have to split the 1 set of preamps into 2 and a half to get the same number of preamps as head unit 1.
question:
if the head unit distorts at point A when speakers are directly connected to it, does that mean that the head unit will also distort at point A when speakers are run off an amp hooked up to it? even though I like head unit 1 better, it only has one preamp as opposed to head unit 2's 2 and a half. but if this problem is alleviated once an amp is hooked up to it, I'd stick with head unit 2 - the one I don't like as much but is more convenient.
who hoo! I installed my first head unit! however I may be hurting something cause I kind of had to force all those wires and stuff in there to make the head unit fit...
