Got the same head unit because I really wanted a double din touch screen. Had the thing for about 3 months now and still dont know all it will do. It will play movies and make calls thru my phone and a whole bunch of other stuff. All I really wanted was to good sounds from FM and excellent sound from from a USB. In the end, more head unit than I wanted and less amplification than I needed.

 

You can setup your own amp between the unit and your speakers to get the amp power you're looking for. I haven't done it myself as I'm not looking for much more than its worth to me.

But yes the unit has lots to offer, In the last month I've been working on a custom dash for it utilizing its OBDII support.

 

Thanks Tenorsaxdude, LeWhite, and TaJohn34 for your input. I'm gonna get this head unit when I get back to work. I got laid off last week.

What is your gripes about it TaJohn?

I'll probably have you send me a link to the right HU Tenorsax so I know I got the right one. Also I might need your help settin up the gauges. I really like them

 

Sure thing justice

Th HU is this: and for the guages you'll need this:
You'll need to download Torque app from the Play store once you're setup. The free one will do just fine for your application. And if you don't hook up a 3G dongle to the unit you won't get the adverts on the bottom either.

Keep me posted and I can help you with the install and setup as you go along

 

@ Sax Dude, yeah I hooked up one 100x4 alpine amp to the front speaker xover, amd didnt use rear speakers (as per Alton) and one 500 watt single channel amp to the 13in sub. The amps run class A to about 20% rated. I think the head unit is about 17 watts flat out. For me it isnt about quantity as I have been out of hi school for quite a few years.

 

Yeah I hate seeing those hopped up, blow it out of the water systems that sound like garbage and just rattle the car to bits. Always feel for those cars that just get destroyed from the inside out
