Posted July 8, 201213 yr I think while my truck is in rebuild mode I will go ahead and upgrade or change to a newer unit. I love the alpine but want to look at something different. Looking at the deh-80prs or the avh-P8400bh. Sq wise the 80 looks like the choice but im sure I would be happy with either. Any other good dd units out there? This is what I have now and will be letting go cheap to anyone interestedhttp://www.crutchfield.com/S-lCerWQCN13n/p_500IVAW200/Alpine-IVA-W200.html#details-tabI want good control of eq and options for hpf and lpf. Any other opinions? I have a alpine 600 watt 4 channel that will cover the mids and highs unless I pick up an additional small 2 channel just for the tweeters
July 8, 201213 yr Author Any other places besides crutch field or amazon to pick one up? Sonic doesn't carry it
July 8, 201213 yr That I do not know. I picked mine up from crutchfield since they had it like a month before the release, or something like that.
July 8, 201213 yr If you have lots of music I'd get a big ol hard drive. I have a 1 tb hard drive with about 500 gigs on it. the prs reads it in about 20 secs. Just gotta format for fat32.
July 8, 201213 yr Author I will mainly run off my IPad for music. Never really used any kind of little drive devices. Since everything is out really just want to redo it all. Lol. The headunit seems to be my best upgrade at this point.
July 15, 201213 yr I have the avh-p8400bh and I absolutely love it. Nice clean gui and sounds great. Got it for $506 shipped of ebay. Also if you buy the cable you can use advance app mode with your ipad which basically controls the ipad from your h/u. Edited July 15, 201213 yr by gotb00st
July 15, 201213 yr Would have helped to know what you were contemplating for needing the crossovers. Had I known I would have said neither. Many other better options for a 3 way front stage.

For the money the Pioneer looked like the best unit in a single din music only head unit. After all the money spent on the rest of the system I figured a new head unit wasn't a bad idea
