Really? That's strange, considering even the 2ks had built in amps...wonder what caused them to do away with it?

Infilll looks good for stand alone simplicity installation that average je can install as double din stereo, but it's still overpriced, if you want a decent audio , you cannot rely on onboard quality
Overpriced for what? For all of the engineering and development that goes into making a unit like this? For the tooling and machinery that has to be designed and paid for to manufacture a product like this? For the special hardware that had to be designed to be able to be utilized in such a small space under such power requirements?
Please remember, these are not off the shelf parts that are used in this unit like the hobbiest grade CarPC install uses.
To design, build, test, and market a true double din head unit, you are looking at a few million in capital just to get to a point where a product is feasable.
How would you suggest a company recoup their money if they sell the product at cost? The price is WELL within reason for the product. Some preliminary market research shows that the consumer market this product is aimed for could bear a MUCH higher price than what we are releasing it at.
You cannot compare a product like this (a consumer friendly, all-in-one, drop in, ready to play unit) to a hobbiest grade install that requires a lot of research, fabrication, time to install, etc. That's comparing apples and oranges.
