Need help with the head unit
I need to upgrade my existing system (Head unit + Amplifier 222W 2 channel +
Blaulunkt speakers). Now I need to buy a CD Head unit. Since I am already having an amp. I would like to go for a CD unit which can play MP3, CD-R, and has only 2 channel RCA out. Are there any head units available which do not come with internal amp, only pre-amp outs? Since internal amp is not needed, may be cost is reduced. Guys help with recommendations. thanks & regards, Vivek |

If anything, they'll probably cost more. I suggest that you make your decision based on your other factors (MP3, CD-R, etcetera), and just don't use the receiver's built-in amplifier. Scott Gardner |

THere are a few without internal amps. Also, Many Alpine units let you
turn off the internal amps and just use preouts. I wouldn't wory about whether it has internal amps or not. Just pick one that has the features you want- ass others mentioned. |

I wouldn't wory about whether it has internal amps or not. Just pick one that has the features you want- ass others mentioned. I agree with what Ephedra and Scott Gardner said. HU's without internal amps are almost always designed for high-end customers and are never inexpensive. This may not seem logical (HU's without amps costing MORE money), but this is the case. I have used Alpine decks with and without internal amplifiers (the 7939 has no internal amp while the 7863 does). I find no sound quality difference between the two. I think this will generally be the case. As Ephedra said, I would not let whether a HU has an internal amp or not be a major buying criterea. MOSFET |

I have an Alpine 3DE-7985 that is an in dash 3-disc changer that does not
have an internal amp. But who knows if it plays MP3's. I know it plays CDR's that I have burned and the songs were in MP3 format prior to burning. I'm not up on to what a burner actually does so who knows it may change something with format prior to writing. All I know and care about is that it plays just fine when I get from my computer to any of my vehicles. "Vivek Kapoor" wrote in message ...

But there are many CD unit with "Line-Out" which is same as Pre-amp outs. |
