-50w max, 25w RMS
-3 preouts, 5v
-3D dot matrix display

-stronger bass
-MP3/CD Text decoding

btw my links don't work cuz AOL sucks and I can't edit...

Alpine is generally more well known for their car audio, but Panasonic isn't bad, I had a Panasonic DFQ800 for like 3 years, I'm only replacing it cuz I dropped the faceplate so the LCD doesn't work.

you will not be able to tell the difference between a 4v and 5v pre-out.
