Head Units with no internal Amp - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I havent really seen any except for stock radios, but who (if any) makes a Head Unit with no internal Amplifier. Just Pre-outs and inputs and plays CD's?

Pretty much every manufacturer make one or two.

Pioneer DEX-P9, DEQ-P9 Processor

Clarion DRZ9255

Alpine F1($$$$), all the other's have internal amps. If you must buy an Alpine, look for a 9835, the '05's are not very good. THe 9860 DVD changer with Optical connection to the H701 Processor is the way to go with Alpine(that or the IVAD310+H701)

Eclipse CD8455, CD8053

Rockford Fosgate RFX8250TI AKA Denon

McIntosh MX406

There's more too, but I'm having a brain fart.

Just save up and buy a DRZ9255

Yup.

Speaking of which, I wonder when my 9860 will come...

To add to the list:

Sony mobileES CDX-C90, CDX-C910

I thought most if not all of the eclipse decks do not come with an internal amplifier. Instead they have low imp. high volt pre-outs?

Never really payed any attention to Kenwood. I hear they are getting better though.

There is an older Alpine model radio that has no internal amp.

It is all silver with blue buttons. Alpine CDA-something!

Check it.

That's the one I have. CDA-7995, I think I paid $250 for it 2 years ago from Crutchfield (it was a clearance sale because it was an old model)
