What is the best deck?

Question

What is the best head unit I can get for under $80? I plan on getting SPR-17S 6-½ Type-R Component Speakers, 2 SWS-1043D 10" Type-S Subwoofers, and 2 SWR-1542D 15" Subwoofer Dual 4-ohm Coils. For an amp I am planning on something like 2 1800w Kenwood Class Ds.

I was looking at the Panasonic CQ-RX100 but wanted a better opinion.

Answer 1

Honestly, I'd bag the 10's and invest that money into getting a much better head unit.  

If you go with the Panasonic, it's a so-so unit, and your system will only sound as good as that weak link.  With 2 15" Type R's, your system will bang so hard you won't even notice the 10's.  So, why waste the money on them.  If you're into extreme bass, you might as well not go half-*** on it and just go 4 15's.

Spend $200 on a good quality Alpine H/U and your system will improve dramatically over having a Panasonic H/U.

You are putting in all this nice Alpine stuff,and hooking it up to a $80 deck...You will give Alpine a bad rep doing this...Check out this deck below,not much more.
