Need help on picking out a Head Unit

I am looking for A head unit that plays DVD's (screen is not necessary), I need as many preamp output as possible (hoping for at leasr 4v to each one), and I need an AUX input. I do not care at all about RMS ratings. Don't care about satellite or FM radio. Looks are a plus but are not necessary. Your help is appreciated

Pioneer makes a good unit. I can't remember and my connection is too slow now that I'm on 56K to check, but go here www.pioneerelectronics.com

I don't particularly want a Unit with a screen on it, and $1300 is a little steep as well.

Be warned though. It is 2005 Alpine and apparently the word "high-end quality" and "Alpine head units" are no longer synonomous.

The JVC is what I am probably going to go with. How easy is it to hook up a couple of monitors to? Can I do it myself or should I get a professional Install?
