Well, I too had Pioneer Premier, and other "top end" head units in the past, and they honestly didn't work out so great (blown output IC's, buttons separating from the faceplate, etc). I've had 2 JVC Arsenal series head units, and they were 100% problem free for me. The arsenal stuff has really turned it up several notches this year, with some stuff being so heavy duty looking and spec'd, that you'd have difficulty believing that it's JVC (yes, I agree that in the past, they made some cheap/flimsy stuff compared to other brands).

I am pleased with the Basslink and the rears. The rears sound clean, and are starting to sound smoother now that they are breaking in some more. The basslink sounds even louder and beefier too, after some break-in, and I actually had to turn the gain down a little bit. It honestly sounds like there are two 10's in the car with certain songs sometimes. I think I need to go back to the shop and get some dynamat, and dynamat the outer and rear panels of the trunk to help decrease reverberation, and increase my output into the cabin a bit more (this will be good if I were to upgrade to something even bigger in the future). I think though, that the basslink will sound cleaner, if I switch it to a RCA input from and aftermarket deck with a selectable crossover. So I'll have to wait and see what happens with that, and leave a more in-depth review.
