A friend of mine wants to sell me a Premium HU for $200

Is this a good Price??

Am i gonna notice a Sound Difference? or any difference at all?

I know the major difference is the RCA's for amp's/Subs.

Any info on the Premium HU would be great!!!!!

Thanks guys

Its for my 08 SW xB2

It's a good price, yes. I sold mine on eBay for $325.

You won't notice a difference in sound, and from what I have heard, the sub outs are terrible. If you plan on getting amps, pass on the Premium and get something aftermarket.

i installed one in my friends 06 xa and there was a very noticeable difference in sound quality.

What's wrong with the sub outs on the premium HU?

detroitbassxb

I just heard they are incredibly weak. Plus, they change output power with your speed, so it is incredibly hard to set your amplifier's gain to teh right level, since you can't be driving around and tuning an amp.

Driving and setting the gain, that's a new one

But you can shut off the auto volume control so you output dosent vary with speed

Mine will be up for sale for $200-$250 range.

The sub outs aren't that great on this head unit, though. You can set the sound-leveling to low, but the head unit will still try to adjust the sub when you're at highway speed.

Well i picked it up from a friend of mine he wanted $200 and i got him down to $150. Def Sounds good and look's Sweet to me. Just wanted someing simple noting too fancy and too out going, Besides i have an 02 Explorer With JL Audio Speakers and tweeters and a JL Audio W7 13.5 inc Sub. If i wanna go def for a little LOL

My sub outs aren't weak; there's plenty of signal getting to my amp. I set the gain with the car stopped. The volume of the entire system increases with speed when ASL is engaged.

memebag

As it should. If you have a premium head unit, you can disable ASL entirely.

Question Were would the Amp Remote turn on wire hook up to?

memebag

There's a gray wire in one of the harnesses that plugs into the back of the HU you can splice into. There's a thread on this forum with a great pic that shows it. I'd post the link but it's at home. Try searching for it.

jpauletteUSAF

Forgot about that.

I'm an idiot.

Thanks for the pic's Dude


What sub's are you running in your car and how are you likeing the head unit with the set of SW outputs

memebag

I have a Fusion kit (12" sub, 300w amp) Fry's was selling for $150. It sounds great on the head unit SW outs, but it makes me want to upgrade the door speakers.

i have noticed on the premium hu that the aux input is a little lower than cd or fm. i have a sirius sportster plugged into it and it just doesnt get as loud at the same volume level as the other inputs. i've checked the sportster and the output vol is all the way up. is there a way to increase the sensitivity of this input or has anyone else noticed this?
