different models have different features. A model will help us a bit in giving advice.
basic units are just basic units, more advanced one will have fancy display, adjustable high and low pass crossovers, equalizers (not the shiddy 3 band stuff), 4 volt pre outs, probably USB and maybe bluetooth.
No need for a preamp with such a deck.

Don't tell the guy to look for a nice usb deck. There are usb decks for all $800 that are basic and have 2 volt pre-outs.
Instead, the OP should look for a headunit that has 4 volt pre-outs, regardless of whether or not it can play usb.

basic usb decks are around 800-900
so around 1500 for that combo
you could get a pretty good usb deck with a built in crossover setup for around 1200 and get the ease of having one less equipment (crossover)
