JVC KD-DV5100 Car DVD Receiver $218
Im looking at some aftermarket units and alot of them are pulling 20 rms/50 peak. Any particular brands I should be looking at in terms of quality wattage for whats advertised vs what it's really pulling?

Thats what I currently have my eyes set at. Its a JVC that sells for $218 on the net + litle s/h fee vs BestBuy which sells it for $300 + tax.
It does 22W x 4 RMS, 50W x 4 Maximum power, it plays mp3's on both CD-/+R, RW and Dvd-/+R, RW.
What are your thoughts on this HU that does all this for $218 +s/h?

I havent really been a fan of JVC...actually, I've never tried them. I always look towards Pioneer or Alpine for my headunits.
The internal amps in the headunits are fairly weak. Someone did a bench test, and a lot of the wattage claims...even from "better" companies fall short.
Also, be aware of where you buy online...it is best to buy from an authorized dealer.
