Alpine never had high voltage pre-outs in the past, they just sucked for that. I have always liked Alpine though, and the power has never bothered me.
I have used Premier P1R and P9 and have always loved Pioneer's whole line. What this guy is looking for is going to be found at any Best Buy around. Just look for the full speed Ipod hookup and be happy. Don't fall for any cheesy gimmicks like the Kameleon face crap that used to sell radios.
