Hello SSA I am wanting to know what are the subwoofer settings on the head units supposed to be set at? I am trying to get the most possible but I'm assuming if they are turned up all the way up I'll be clipping? no really sure where to set them at. Anyone please help lol

just wondering how reliable pioneer HU's are at puting our rated power :ph34r: Ive got it installed in my 92 grand am. it runs for as much as $193 on yahoo shopping, but i bought it off some guy on FXN for 115 shipped. edit: i just read that its rated at 22 watts rmsX4. only the two rear speakers work and its pretty loud. wonder how loud it'd get with new speakers and an amp B) edit found 1 on ebay thats factory remanufactured for $129 starting bid and its not too bad of a head unit for a poor man like me

I'm looking into getting a Pioneer In-Dash DVD. I want the AVH-P4100, but do you guys think it's worth the extra $100 or so than the AVH-p3100? Also, what about the p4100 vs. the p4000?

My pioneer HU died the other day when I hit a pot hole and now I need to replace it with somthing better. I've been looking at the Nakamichi CD-300,400,and 500 and also the pioneer premier 800 and 880. I know the nak's don't have nearly the features of the pioneer, but I'd kinda like to try somthing different, and I like the simplicity. Do any of you have opinions or suggestions? I'd like to get the best sound quality out of my system without spending much. I've got CDT coaxials (which are awesome for what they are), and a pair of 15" kicker L5's pushed by a kenwood 600w cheap amp. I got the subs mostly because I was young and they look cool and got a good deal, just…

i need help picking a new headunit either the pioneer deh 7100bt or the soundstream vir7870 dvd i do compete so i want it to work with comps also

I currently have a P550MP (see sig) its a premier line, wma/mp3 capable, i believe 2.2V outputs (3 total) etc. etc. and was wondering if it would be worth it in SQ and features and just overall to spend the money to upgrade HU's? i would be buying the 860 used so i would be paying 200 ish...thanx for all the help...

Hey fellas.... Just got this HU installed the other day... Lovin' it soo far.. Some questions: Slope - I have the option of 6db, 12db, or 18db for the subwoofer... Currently I have it at 18db with a cutoff of 100hz ... Good/bad? Ideas? I don't have a great front stage so I thought going up that high would help with overall sound... On the speakers I have them crossed at 125hz with a 12db slope instead of a 6db since I don't want the speakers to sound like crap going below that 125hz... Am I doing this correctly?? Last thing I need to ask... This HU has a voltage read out for the battery???? WTF hugesurprisewhenIsawthisinthedisplay!!!! Is that a true voltage reader or ina…

Does anyone know where i could find a dex/deq for sale?

So I was changing out a CD in my P9 on Saturday and the HU motor to open up the face does not open all the way up. It opened all the way open and spit out the CD today. I have taken it apart and hit it with compressed air and checked, Ramos and I did not see anything showing wear.....any ideas?

Im installing this unit in a 2001 tahoe. Im having trouble with it. I bought an install kit, i think the # is 99-3002. But i think it might need a mounting sleeve for it. Has anyone had any experience installing Premier headunits, im not sure exactly what i need?

Anyone have any opinion on this deck? I'm just about to buy it.. I used to have a DEHP-6000 and loved it.. I wouldn't buy any other decks except pioneer, they are just nice peices of equipment IMO. I have a computer in my car for stereo mostly, but I've decided to get the head unit again beacuse I want a volume KNOB as well as eq options, the option to use a CD, and my FM radio back. I could have all of this with the computer, but a deck looks cleaner. I'm still going to keep the computer though, and use the head unit's AUX to plug it in. I wouldn't take it out for anything. I have over 3000 songs and it's great to no flip through a book of CD's everytime I get in the car…

Some guy on CL is selling one locally. 3x 4v pre outs. RCA input (with $5 cable from ebay) remote, ipod hookup, etc. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11105_Pioneer-Premier-DEH-P500UB.html It's also steering control ready which would be cool. I just need the panel for my steering wheel but I think it would be worth it. Also, I noticed I can either get this thing (Pioneer CD-RB20 -Use for Pass -Thru IP-Bus for MCD Player Connectiom) Or this. or this (Pioneer IP-Bus to RCA, 3.5mm) Is there any advantage of having the module vs the other ones? BTW I'm on the stock unit and all I need is a 3.5mm and 3x preouts.

i was just wondering if anyone knew of a way i could download or put different backgrounds on the radio pretty sure i cant but was wondering if there was a way

so im looking into the Pioneer Premier DEH-P880PRS and wondering if i have to buy the ipod adapter http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/p...7492523,00.html b/c im not sure if have to have the adapter for that headunit. thanks

Hey guys. I'm just looking at buying the Pioneer Premier DEH-P880PRS and was wondering what people's opinions were on it. Looks like a solid unit for a good price, but I just wanted some feedback/info about it before I bought it. Thanks, Mason

Saw this head unit for pretty decent price...plus it comes with the ipod cord(ive got an ipod) looked nice is this a nice budget hu? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=17793

I was just wondering if anyone has used or seen this amp? I just came across it and seen its a fairly small amp and was wondering if it would be good for running my mids and highs. Here's a link http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43536_Pioneer-PRS-D800.html Let me know what you guys think.

Pioneer Service Center in Ohio 2 Thumbs up to the guys there, they got my Vic-N1 on friday, fixed and shipped on monday, back here on wednesday, installed today and working better than it ever has!!! Awesome help on the phone, awesome service work, awesome shipping, what more can you ask for?

So I recently put a pioneer deck in my truck and noticed it has a feature called "Sound Retriever"...Supposedly it enhances compressed audio... Any idea how it does that? And if it's ok to turn on? (What does it do with uncompressed audio?)

ive always messed with pioneer head units. i just sold an old pioneer flip out and ready to buy something new because my old stock is not cutting it. if i go with a regular cd player im either going with the http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_45846_JVC-KD-HDR61.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_42778_Pioneer-DEH-P8400BH.html if i decide to tackle a double din im either going with the pioneer or the jvc.im just wanting to know which would be the better head unit and which offers the best features. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_33384_JVC-KW-AVX640.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_42781_Pioneer-AVH-P2400BT.html

Has anyone else had the whining noise from the RCAs with the 880? I was switching around some wiring today, accidently touched a speaker wire to the ground wire on the amp and all of a sudden I hear a whining when I turn the vehicle back on. When I grounded a single RCA on the front pre-out the sound nearly went away, still there just barely audible So a couple quick questions about this.... When grounding the RCA would I have to do it to every pre-out being used? (white and red of all 3 pre-outs if all were being used?) Is there a nicer looking way of doing this? Should the deck just be sent to pioneer to be fixed instead?

So I've been looking at a bunch of nav head units, and these two seem like the best out there. I haven't had a chance to use either as I can't find any local shops that have either in stock. What is the general consensus on these two? Is there a clear cut winner? I've heard that the pioneer's have a high failure rate, and they often times freeze up, is that true? They have a gorgeous UI, but if it doesn't work I guess it's not that great. My other concerns with the pioneer are the low RMS power output, no name GPS, and only a single USB input. Would I need an amp with the pioneer or is 14 watts RMS enough for components and mid basses (no subs yet)? Is the GPS comparable …
