Should I get a new deck?

I am trying to decide if I should get a new deck. And if so what?

Right now I have a Clarion DXZ555MP;
http://www.clarion.com/ca/en/products/2005/audio/source_units/cd/DXZ555MP/ca-en-product-pf_1138706936276.html

I have it going into a Clarion Mono Amp and a Jackhammer 4ch Amp. Thing is that there are only 2 sets of RCA outs on this deck. So right now I have the front off the deck split to both the rear and front inputs of the 4ch. Then the rear off the deck going to the Mono Amp.

So What I'm wondering is if this splitter solution is degrading my audio quality? I figure it must since new decks have 3 sets of RCAs for a reason.

Please let me know what you guys think.

Thanks. ^^

decks have 3 set of RCA so you can control front/rear/sub independently. Using a spliter shouldn't have any effect on audio quality.

I suggest looking up the specs on the Eclipse Cd5030. I just bought one my self and I love it.

I'll look it up.

I was also looking at the Clarion VX409. Does anyone know anything about this?
