well i have a pioneer premier dehp-410.
the thing is 3 years old, dropped the face on a cement floor, one button came off when i did that but snapped right back in.
the thing runs as good as the day i bought it.
you can't go wrong w/ premier HU's, it's seen 4 or 5 stereos with 3 of them being SPL stereos. the bottom line? GET ONE u won't be sorry! :thumbup: get componets in the front end, & while your at it use 6 1/2" woofers in the front, more mid-bass up front. then at least you'll have a little mid-bass. the 6 1/2" woofer is the most accurate speaker, even better than 6 x 9's for clarity! beautiful sound is in the eye of the beholder.
but remember it's all fun & games till someone looses an ear.
hi's are worse for your ears than bass.
