Hi all. My new fairing will be here Friday so I need to quit procrastinating and order my head unit. The links to the ones I have been looking at are below. These are all digital media units. I can't fit a CD unit and amp in my fairing so I am looking at going this way...Suggestions outside of these are welcome but please put why. If this just ends up being a preference thing and they are all about the same, say that too...Thanks!

The audio wizards in here always recommend at least 4volt preamp outputs. None of these head units offer that...

 

Agreed but I can't find a marine stereo has higher...

That has a CD player. Not an option. It won't leave room for an amp.

 

OOps! Didn't realize this is going on a King with an aftermarket fairing....which fairing you using?

 

Woody's. Great product but space is at a premium...

 

I guess I'm a little confused MOUTH. . All the single din units basically have the same dimensions whether it's digital media or CD? That said all four of your choices above are good choices. We do recommend 4V pre outs. But it's not an absolute. Those units above will work just fine. Personally I think HD Doobie's suggestion will work well with this amp and the infinity speakers.

Units without CD players are shallower. 3-4 inches vs 8-9. I need the space behind the HU to put an amp in. It is tight in these fairings.

 

Gotcha!
