power of head unit

[stanleym]

my mate screwed his old pioneer head unit gave lots of feedback etc

and he just bought a new panasonic one that was $500 instore and got it for $400

after the install he said that from his old head unit gave not nearly as uch power as it does the new headunit

all that he would have connected if hte rca and the standard power wiring etc

i not to sure whether it would be accurate that buying just a new headunit and leavin same amp and sub regardless of what it is would make such a big difference to over all sound and loudness

correct me if wrong please
cant find the older model but this one was one higher but has pretty much as the same as his old unit

this is new head unit

and info
MOSFET High Power Amp (60W x 4max)
SQ7 (7 Band Sound Quality)
5V/60 ohms preamp out (Front, Rear, Subwoofer)
Customisable 3DDM (3D dot matrix) display
Switchable HPF and LPF (Crossover)

What were the specs of the old head unit? If the RCA output voltage is higher on the new deck, then yes it will be louder. Also the volume numbers can be different. 10 on one deck might be 15 on another.

thats the site of specs

it might be what you said about rca its not necessarily the volume loud its everything powerin harder that it did before

yeah the new deck may have a higher wattage output, try using the switchable high pass filter(HPF) and the low pass filter(LPF). High pass filter(HPF) will only accept and output a high frequency depending on how much watts it is, therefore giving more power where as, the Low pass filter(LPF) will take frequency thats being lost within the system and recover it....

how this helps????
