(3) 6.5V pre-outs on the Premier high-end series equipment.......although the Eclipse NOW has 7v pre-outs I believe. I have the old DEH940MP, which is the same as this year's DEH860MP, more or less, but w/burr brown. I had the 860 temporarily, but prefer the button/adjustment mechanisms better on the 940
FYI, most amps won't allow more than 4v input anyways (in most cases)

I think the Premier 770 MP is 4 volts, the 8 MP might be 6 or 6.5 and the 860 and 960 are 6.5 too. I have an 860 and love it. Back to Nitrous wars!!

yeah, that 8v set-up is a great HU for SPL'rs, but for SQ you don't need it!
I know I am running w/both the Pioneer 940 w/6.5v pre-outs thru a Memphis EQ w/7v preouts, and it is entirely too much, as the volume gain on my EQ is at less than 40% and my individual adjustments are even less than that in some cases depending on freq range.
IMO, 6v is plenty for the average consumer

Ok guys after blowing the $hit out of my factory monsoon, I have decided to upgrade the audio System. Here is what I think so far... i am total newbie when it comes to sound so please let me know what u think and any changes u recommend.... Thanks for comments in advance....
Head unit
Pioneer DEH-P7700MP
Quick look : CD frequency: : 5-20,000 Hz| Sensitivity: 94 dB | 22 watts RMS x 4 channels | peak 50W
Spec Link
Speakers Door and Sail panels
Pioneer TS-A1671R 3 way speakers
Quick look : frequency: 30-33,000 Hz | power range: 2-35 watts RMS |peak power: 220 watts |sensitivity: 90 dB
Spec Link
Subwoofer
Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1d dual 4 Ohm
Quick Look : power range 75-350 watts RMS peak :1,400W frequency response 18-200 Hz sensitivity 94 dB
Quick Link
Sub Box
Camaro/Firebird Stealth Enclosures
Link
Sub Amplifier
Alpine MRP-M350
Specs : 200 watts RMS x 1 @ 4 Ohms
Quick Link
My question is whether or not I should get a multichannel amp and power both speakers and the sub or get a mono amp and just power the sub... (The headunit says it has a built in amp I think that should be strong enough to drive the speakers) I am not looking for a crazy system just something that would kinda thump... Please let me know what u think...

Consider this setup...I run something like this and it works real well.
Disconnect all speakers...replace the front door with new 6 1/2 (6 3/4) {I use Memphis MC60s) ~$139/pr. Get a Premier DEHP770MP ~$279 head. (I use an DEHP860) MTX CF10 box unloaded and get a good 10" sub maybe a Boston G21044 (again I use a G51044) and find a good 300 w/ rms 2 ohm stable Class AB amp for "*****" (I use Yzen YA500)...Stinger amp kit...might be a bit over your budget but it should sound just fine...

Sounds goods, my bad
, and sorry for the off-topic commentary, but the Premier units are good units despite some viewpoints, but that is why we have more than (1) choice.
I am DONE!
I'll save over-modulation/amplification for another time

Keep in mind that your gain is for level matching, NOT VOLUME. Higher voltage pre-outs only help whether your goal is SQ or SPL.
HUs - stick to Pioneer, Alpine, or Eclipse. They're all good but here's the skinny. Pioneer for features, Alpine for feature and sound balance, Eclipse for sound. I've swapped Alpine for Pioneer, the upgrade was obvious immediately. Alpines are awesome but my Eclipse 8053 was noticeably better right out of the box. just like Alpine over Pioneer. Some of this is taste, but you'll find most knowledgeable people concur with MHO.
Stick with your stealthbox idea, it's solid.
Your front speakers are your most important part. Get components for the front, period. Don't waste your time with coaxes except for rear fill. Want bang for your buck both SQ and SPL? www.edesignaudio.com
Get your front stage, sub, and amps there. I am local, you can hear my setup if you want. I've SO been where you are. Trust me, spend it once, spend it right.
Front stage - eDi 6500 (budget - use 6000 set here)
rears - eDi 6000 (or use coaxs like CDT or skip the rear altogether)
front amp - nine.4 if you want rear fill, nine.2 to run just fronts + sub amp
sub - 11Ov2 (budget - 11Kv2)
sub amp - nine.2x (budget - nine.2)
They even have wiring now, I like knukonceptz also.
The sound and output of their "entry level" gear blows away Infinity and Pioneer. Their value - sound/dollar ratio is truly unreal. I've spent a ton of cash and time on my system. If I were to start over on a budget, all eD period. I've used several of their subs and currently run the 6500 component set up front. You have to spend a TON more money to get much better. Trust me on this one.
PM me if you want to hear my system.

go with alpine for the head unit they do it best
iv had more decks than you can shake a stick at and alpine has never failed me
they have alot of control over frequencys and just about anything you can imagine
Jumped in the fo` hit the juice on my ride
I got front back and side to side
Then I let the Alpine play
Bumpin new **** by NWA
It was "Gangsta Gangsta" at the top of the list
eazy knows
