its a nice deck, i picked one up for my brother's M3 for 265. only draw back is it only has 2 pre outs, where as even the older pioneer decks of the same level had 3. guess they need to differentiate the Premier line and sell some of those.

Thanks. I think I will pick one up.$265us is a good price. Is $500.00 cad. That's about $310.00 usd and without the 15%tax that we have to pay.

I was just looking at one of these compared to a Kenwood eXcelon Z828.
How are the number of different pre outs gonna effect things?

WTF only 2 outs? I had the 7300 and it was awesome, i wish it would stop inverting the colors on the display every 20 seconds though, i was gonna get the 7400 for it's MP3 capabilities, but not anymore if it only has 2 outs... I'll think of something though

Ok. Time for stupid questions. Why is 2 pre-amp output bad? How many do you need? Can i use the stock amp for this unit?

actually, 2 are fine, that is one for subs and one for in-cabin speakers. you just cant divide the cabin into front and rear. Basically, i will probably end up running a 200*4 for interior speakers anyway, and then 500*2 for subs. So when i thought about it, 2 doesnt really make that much of a difference, so i retract my previous anit 7400 post, i was just suprised taht they got rid of an output on a newer model. I wouldnt' run the stock amp off of an aftermarket deck though, but check with someone who knows more than me.

the head unit you want is the deh-740mp not the 7400...the 740 has 3 outputs for subs, etc

The number of outputs affects your options down the road.Also the voltage output of the pre-outs makes a big difference.Most h/u have 3 sets nowadays,1 set for front,1 set for rear and 1 set non-fading for the subs.I would not recommend buying a h/u that does not have 4-volt preouts.
