[shadowm891 2]

Can any of you help me out. i'm looking at getting a new head unit for my 2001 kia sportage and im not sure what to get. my budget is $300 and i don't mind buying a used deck either as long as its in great shap some scratches are fine as long as there not deep. i'm leaning more to a sq deck with a built in sound processor. i wont be useing the built in amp on the deck since i have a 4 channel amp

There is a Pioneer 880prs on ebay. Just found it yesterday.

AFAIK it's a nice deck and has all the options you want.

A list of features you want in the new unit would be helpful.

Would you like to be able to play cds, dvds or fm radio? Do you need/want a front or rear usb? Single, 1.5 or double din?

yeah i am looking for a double din dvd player that has built in nav and bluetooth. i want it to play mp3 cd's and even has a usb port for a usb flash drive as well. i like it to be a 5v deck with 3 rca output's for my front and rear speakers and even my sub. i like to be able to control all my bass and trebles from each of my door speakers. i even would like it to have sub control with a custom ssf and a db slope for all my door speakers and even my sub's like my eclipse has. and most of all i want it to have a built in sound processor and eq as well,

For $300 you might as well give up on the DD with built in Navi. At least a unit that's worth a fuck.

And then, finding a 5v DD with Navi, impossible.

And also, I don't know any radio with a built in SSF.

For everything you want, I'd be looking to spend $1,000 or more. EASY.

[shadowm891 2]

Yeah i was wondering about to. my eclipse has a built in crossover with a high and low pass filter it even has a db slope and ssf for my door speakers and subs

[liljestrand 244]

if you can deal without a double din and nav the pionner 800/880prs would be great choices but lack some of the features you want. If you can wait till april I believe it is the 80prs will be coming out with bt, 2usb ports, aux port, ta, dual 16band eq color display among other features and I believe it will be around 320ish

[shadowm891 2]

Ill have to look into that its been ages it seems since i ever own a pioneer lol.

[liljestrand 244]

I just sold my 800prs and will be picking up the 80 in april

[shadowm891 2]

so what's the big thing about the pioneer dex-p99rs i see it's so high in price i might save up some for one of these if there really all that.

[liljestrand 244]

I really dont know much aout that unit I think cableguy had one before so maybe he can help. But if you are going to spend that much you could prolly find a dd with all you want.

its just a really high end deck. it would be over kill for your stated goals

[shadowm891 2]

Why would it be over kill for me ?
