Simplicity In Sound: Another G35 Coupe Install to Top Off 2010!
Good eye! I corrected the original post.
Bing recommended the 4200 but I actually liked the screen better on the 3200 and having the USB and SD card slot on the front.
To be honest, I checked out a bunch of different models from Kenwood, Pioneer and Alpine I wasn't impressed with any of them. They all seemed laggy and had horrible interfaces. Why can't I make a playlist and why does it take forever to load filenames. I also remember not being able to navigate backwards through directories, like back up one folder... so frustrating.

Awesome work!
sick install. very good attention to detail.
however i must tell you that your headunit choice was somewhat poor.
should have gone with one of the eclipse headunits with 5v preouts to complement the rest of the audio components.

as far as eclipse goes, i dislike that brand a lot...but now its all a moot point since Eclipse no longer exists as a brand as of half a year ago
Depends greatly on the source material.
The more volts on the pre-outs the higher the fidelity of your dynamic range between quiet and loud, as the signal doesn't have to be compressed as much.
Where most of modern mastering of CDs (see loudness wars) involves compressing the dynamic range to increase the overall volume - yes - there's not going to be an audible difference between 2 volt and 5 volt preouts, since everything is playing at the top 90% of the range. Now if you have a well-mastered classical piece with quiet parts next to major crescendos, the higher voltage pre-outs will show their worth.
Very few albums released today would show any audible difference when played in a properly tuned system whether played at 2 volts or 5. So the myth of pre-outs making stuff most people listen to sound better is definitely a myth. But their ability to retain better fidelity of audio is definitely true.
