Let me simplify this a little. I've seen head units with an output of 50x4. Does anyone know of one with a greater output?
Okay, here's the deal. I'm building an audio only system with a simple lcd character display, nothing fancy.
I had been planning on just installing a 10-disc changer (which I have) but opted to go the FUN route.
Anyhow, here's my question. I don't have the car or the headunit yet, so I'm looking for head unit suggestions. Below are links to the speakers I have; I've got one pair of each. I'm not planning on buying any subs nor do I want to deal with an amp. What I'd really like is a head unit with as much output as possible, and with a CD receiver for those times I just want to pop one in. A good EQ is also something I'm looking for in a head unit, but I don't want to start buying more equipment.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

i've seen 52Wx4 but nothing stronger..
I'll put a vote in for anything Pioneer, mine does 45wx4 which i find to be enough. Maybe see what local shops stock then check out a some reviews or something..

You will not find a headunit with more than 4x50. There is some electrical limit if the amplifier circuits are running from 12v.
External Amps have switching power supplies built in, which generate higher a higer voltage (42v?).
I recall that i've seen a headunit with an in-dash amp for double-DIN slots somewhere, but I don't know the manufacturer.

AH, okay, that's good to know. Thanks!
DOes anyone have experience with JVC units? I'm thinking of perhaps going with JVC on account of my speakers. I've already got a vote for Pioneer, any more consieradtions?
Clarion are very nice.
Rat Shacks own are not very nice.
And you say people actually pay money for M$ Windows?

Total re-design underway: on the whole progress is very slow as the car is taking up too much time :)
I like Pioneer the best.
Blaupunkt is also good.
im pretty sure alpine make a 4x60w head unit, dont ask me what the model is though,
pioneer stuff is usually really good quality gear. Clarion is ok as well, i wouldnt go near any of the cheap sony units cause there cheap and crappy but the more expensive ones are ok
, i probably would steer away from the jvc though

My thoughts exactly...though I personally would not buy a headunit sold at Wal-mart. (i.e. sony, jvc)
My number one vote is for Alpine. They simply have awesome raw clean power.
But if you're looking for real 50x4 wattage, you're not gonna get it from just a headunit. I would personally get a passive HU, and use a seperate amp.
Headunits all advertise their MAX output. What they really put out ("out of the box") is their RMS ratting, which is usually about 1/4 of what it advertised. So with a headunit that is "50x4" it will realistically put out 12-14x4 reliably (unless noted otherwise)
