RMS power vs PreAmp Output Volts
Let me preface by saying I am a complete newb to car audio. I just want to spend a little cash to play MP3s from USB media, and to improve the sound quality in my 2006 Toyota Corolla using its stock speakers. :-)
I'm trying to decide between two stereos sold on crutchfield.com. I'm trying to understand why there is a price difference, and whether RMS power is more important than PreAmp Output Volts or not. Option 1: Kenwood Excelon KDC-X397 * $120 * 22 watts RMS/50 peak x 4 channels * 6-channel preamp outputs (4-volt front, rear, and subwoofer) Option 2: Pioneer DEH-X6500BT * $130 * 14 watts RMS CEA-2006/50 peak x 4 channels * 4-channel preamp outputs (2-volt front, rear/subwoofer) I thought RMS power was supposed to be most important. If that's the case, why is the Kenwood cheaper? |

when it comes to headunit power the difference is negligible...get the one with 4volt pre outs

The Pioneer has Bluetooth. The KDC-X597 has Bluetooth if it is important.
I would get the Kenwood. |
