I'm browsing alpine head units for my blazer, and i see that they have 50 watt, and 45 watt outputs. Is there any major difference? I don't have any amps or subs or anything. Thanks.

 

it shouldnt be a big difference alpine units are very good just they are designed at sound systems what models are you looking at???

 

dont go by that rating. that is just the max wattage rating. look up the rms wattage rating of each head unit your considering. ive found that pioneer's generally have the highest rms rating. some alpine have the same or close to the same. but as for other, ive only relaly found them to be lower (sony, kenwood, jvc, panasonic). im not sure what the rating are, but i know most pioneers are 22watts rms. my old kenwood was 19 watts rms. and believe it or not, those 3 watts/per channel make a HUGE difference. the higher rms head unit you get, the louder you'll be able to crank up the volume before the sound distorts. my vote is for pioneer, they are excellent units.

 

Yeah, i'm just in the early stages of looking, it'll be a while before i actually buy anything. Thanks a lot guys.

 

Pioneer only if its the Premier, I hate all other Pioneer cd players.

 

i had problems with my pioneer they do sound good when there cracked up just there anti skip isnt that great every bump in the road would set it off and it would start skipping but it also wasnt a very expensive model serves me right for being a cheap ***

 

a premier is the same thing as the equivalent regular pioneer model except its got a couple features you'd find in the next model up.

 

i think you just got a bad deck man. ive used many many pioneers, and they have 1 of the best anti-skip protections out there. and ive owned a couple of the lowest models of that particular year, and a few mid-range models.

 

I Love My Pioneer Cd/Dvd Its Great...I've Always Gone With Pioneer And Nothin Else...So I Say Pioneer Also

 

i most likly did i bought it off a friend that wrecked there car and they said it was like a high model and they wanted 40 bucks for it so i was like what the hell it was a good deck just bumps screwed it up hey it was 40 bucks and i had it for a yr and a half so i got my moneys worth i just bought a new poineer and a new alpine head unit the alpine is for my blazer and the poineer im putting in my girlfriends car so ill see how this one works out
