Personally i'd buy from a known shop rather than ebay....pioneer is a good choice mate....

not bad at that price im selling that in my shop for 130quid i think that's the jobbie with a single 2.2v preout, changer control, 3 band bitmetric eq, 4x50 with cdr/rw mp3 and wma playback

ok im gonna go 4 it then. but 1 last thing it says it has some fancy bass thingy where u can power a sub straight frm the HU is this gonna b crap and if it is wud i still b able 2 wire a sub in?

 

[Dink]

you can't run a sub off the hu without an amp

 

[Paddy_g46]

Aux Input & 2 pre-outs

Powered by Pioneer’s MOSFET 50 and incorporating EEQ+ precision tuning with High and Low Pass Filters, the DEH-30MP boasts a Direct Rear Aux-In so you can hook up any MP3 player and enjoy the DEH-30MP’s full MP3/WMA/WAV capabilities. Want to impress with mind-boggling power bass? Its Direct Sub Drive allows you to drive a subwoofer directly from your headunit, without an expensive amplifi er. With 2 RCA Pre-Outs you can add an amplifi er and speakers, and raise your in-car music experience to unheard levels. Engineered to impress, the DEH-30MP comes wrapped in distinct designer looks and fi tted with a blue back display. Simply stunning.

that comes frm pioneers site

 

[Dink]

no i promise you

you can't they are not big enough to contain a SMPS

 

[Paddy_g46]

lol well i dnt no wat 2 think, pioneer clearly state u can?

 

[Dink]

lol you might be able to do it

but doesn't give you any power rating for it unless you use the internal amp bridged (maybe 45wRMS)

Might be worth trying www.caraudiocentre.com as their prices are extremely good!!!

I bought a head unit from them for £400 where Halfords at the time had it up for £600.

 

[kiza1986]

No way can you run a sub off ANY headunit....even if you did the tiny amp that is built into the headunit would more than likely blow...and the sub would sound crap for the all off 2seconds that it lasts...

even after reading that i dont think its possible i thought maybe you meant a sub switch i cant think of a connection on there that would allow such operation:S something to look into i suppose

 

[Paddy_g46]

just asked the dude in halfords and as he said if this was any good every1 wud b talking about it/using it.
