unless you guys shit hundred dollar bills you shouldnt bash on someone because they bought a radio you deemed " garbage "
Now should I consider Alpine and clarion garbage? After all I had more problems with these radios/ DVD players that I never bothered with the warranty, they simply broke on me within two months of operation.
Now you may consider JVC crap or whatever but, the DVD player I was using has lasted me for years ( sold it and got the double din you see up there )
Its been working perfect. Screen color and brightness is just as good as when i initially turned it on.
Just so you know, SONY, CLARION and Pioneer offer a HORRIBLE WARRANTY!
Dont know what dual has but im sure since they are fairly new to the game their warranty will be much better.
secondly,...big deal if it offers 1.8v preamp output. You wont even notice the difference unless you drive around blasting the radio.
