Newbie question. Im looking for headunits for a new build and plan to use a PDX-5. As I understand it, the amp is a five channel amp. Do I need a headunit with at least 5 preamp outputs or is there another way to accomplish this. The headunit I like says it has 4 preamp outputs. - Thanks in advance.

ideally, you want a radio with a separate sub output so you can individually adjust the sub output.

If the deck you pick only has front and rear outputs you can still use it with the PDX5, you just wont have independent sub control.

As stated before...The other way to accomplish is to split one set of RCAs. Run the fronts straight from the H/U to the amp. Run the rears to the amp and install the splitter there. When you turn on the stereo, set the amplifier gains to get the fade close to what you want. You can then tweak it to where you want it in the H/U setup.

does it have four sets or 4 pre amp outputs. Four sets would be front, rear, center and sub. If it's just four it's front rear.
