well put ryan. your number one prob is that you bought a JVC. I think even Jensen at this point is making better head units than them. You should have went with eclipse, alpine or clarion. as far as places to buy audio, I personally have ordered from soundcity many times and their service is great. I didn't know of soundhabit but I'll check them out in a bit. Also try soundcityoutlet.com for some GREAT buys. my first head unit years back was a JVC; it skipped constantly and so did my friends. At the time I had 3 jl 10w6's, mb quarts all around and 2 soundstream amps. Don't get me wrong it sounded pretty good but I knew it should have sounded better. someone suggested buying a new head unit and recommended eclipse. So I took his advice and as it turned out, the head unit was the problem. When I installed the eclipse, instantly I noticed that every speaker in my car sounded completely different. My friends were shocked at the improvement of clarity. Even my subs sounded cleaner and tighter. It's really quite amazing what just a head unit did for my system, you would have had to hear the before and after to really appreciate this story.
