imo, touchscreen would be annoying. i need buttons, something i can press, and KNOW i pressed it.
as well as my alpine has a dial on it, for easier scrolling through ipod tracks.

A touch screen worth buying, is out of your price range. If you are looking for usb, and 3 sets of preamp outputs, then i'm telling you this has what you want man.

You would only need one set out pre-amp outputs for one amplifier. Basically multiple outputs on head units are provided to hook up multiple amplifiers. ie. Amplifier for subwoofer, amplifier for components. This is if your amplifier does not have another set of outputs directly on it if you want to run multiple amps for multiple subs. Or if you just seperate your bass amp from your speaker amp. It allows room for options and customization. Most amplifiers, good amplifiers today have rather efficient crossovers built into them.

i paid 199.99, but my last one died, 2 days before i left for ASS'09. so i couldn't wait to order one... i needed it.
but like i said, i also needed 6 pre-amp outputs. (stereo front/back + sub) and my choices were limited with local store shopping.
Doesn't mean i'm not happy with it. It sounds great. (other then it being multicolored)

Or would it be better having a crossover in the line outside of the deck?

Correct. And if you are only running a subwoofer from the amplifier, just put the switch on the amplifier set to the low pass filter (lpf) selection to filter all of the highs out of the signal sent to the subwoofer, and that virtually eliminates your need for a crossover. According to your budget, you're just gonna save money by not buying something that you don't necessarily need dude.

I would say it's more convenient to be outside of the deck.

Thanks for the help, but I think right now from here I would really like Ryan from Ohio or anybody else on here who knows the INS and outs of decks and spends lots of time with them I.e. Selling them, repairing them, your on a sound team to tell me what they think I should get. And eventually I will have a poll with decks that you all said I should get

Kenwood KDC-MP538U
-Auxiliary output to plug in ipod or anything through headphones jack.
-Usb input, can run into glove box to hide everything, ideal for ipod.
-Can sift through ipod or mp3 folders right on head unit.
-Can tell head unit what each output is for; sub, mid, high.
-Can also tell head unit what size speakers; oem, 6x9, 5 1/2, for optimum tuning.
-Can adjust volume of subwoofer directly from head unit, sends signal through amplifier.
-Versatile and customizable display options.
-Retails $279.00, buy it new on eBay shipped for $110.00 - $140.00.
-Save $100 or so to invest into a better amplifier.
-Therefore you have Good Head Unit, and Good Amplifier with all of the crossover you should need with your subwoofer installation.

Pioneer
Alpine
Kenwood
JVC
I myself know pioneer very well, from my car to my room its full of pioneer. A HU like this one you can go wrong DEH-P510UB. You can basically connect anything to that HU.
My pioneer HU I got for 20$ broken and it cost me 25$ to fix from pioneer's online parts store and the HU was 620$ when it was new.
A head unit in the 200$ to 250$ range from any of those 4 listed is going to good.

Why not? If you know what to look for and you're not an idiot about reading and communication assuring that the seller is legit, what is wrong with eBay? I've purchased and installed components for subwoofer and radio setups for 3 of my friends vehicles as well as my own, and never had a problem. I may just have gotten lucky everytime, but i'm happy i've walked away with a couple hundred bucks in my pocket buying everything new. There is going to be fraud and hidden shit everywhere online, but then again, if you do your research, the seller must abide by the legal binding contract that the new items are indeed new and never out of box, if that way stated. Just be smart about it and don't empty your paypal account on cheap shit.
