Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 760 Registered: Nov-05 | pioneer/premier is the best get a DEH-P770MP..the pioneer site says its 300...so youll find it cheaper elsewhere....next step up is 440..but then again you can find it cheaper elsewhere... get a prmier head unit...they are made by pioneer but they are better |

Silver Member Username: Buddyleee5Post Number: 129 Registered: May-05 | isn't hte 80 the next step up? its 100 bucks off only 300 |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 764 Registered: Nov-05 | u may be right ..any pioneer/premier head unit above 300 and youll be very good. im sure they all have it...but make sure u get one that has "subwoofer control" and not bass control....bc if u dont have a bass controll knob wired from your amp....and u dont have subwoofer control on the HU....u have no way of changing the bass...bc when u turn up the basss on the EQ it will turn up the bass in all speakers which is bad |

Silver Member Username: Buddyleee5Post Number: 130 Registered: May-05 | i have a kicker 1200.1 with the wired bass know but can you explain that again i didnt quite catch it. will i be alright with the know or do i need the control too |
|
Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 766 Registered: Nov-05 | well you have the knob so dont worry about bass control most head units have an equalizer....bass trebble and midrange settings. on a cheaper head unit..when you turn up the bass, the bass in all the speakers in the car turns up which sounds bad. on more expensive models of head units there is a more customizable equalizer that actualy has some extra settings.one of them being subwoofer control. so instead of turning up bass in ALL speakers, it just does so in the subs... but as i said...you have the knob so no worries |

|
Silver Member Username: Buddyleee5Post Number: 131 Registered: May-05 | so should i not get the pioneer and look for a premier? or is the pioneer a good unit? |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4402 Registered: Jun-04 | we used to carry the premire line at the shop I worked at it seemed like good stuff |
|
Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 777 Registered: Nov-05 | premier is better pioneer is easier to get |
|
Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 1265 Registered: Sep-05 | premier is better, better rca voltage and plating and warranty |

Silver Member Username: Buddyleee5Post Number: 132 Registered: May-05 | is there anywhere i can get a premier headunit online? i was looking for an authorized pioneer dealer but none of them carry the premier line. the only one is tweeter who is in store pick up only. is there much or a difference between the pioneer deh-p80mp and hte premier deh-p8mp? there are small differences but are they really important? and what are the important differences? |

Silver Member Username: Buddyleee5Post Number: 134 Registered: May-05 | i found a tweeter and can get the deh-p8mp for 300 bucks... is it a good deal, i was playing around with it in the store and it was some what confusing with the one knob, does it get easier as you learn to use it? would i be better off with a clarion or something. I also want to filter the bass out of the speakers and sent it to the subs, the headunit said it has a crossover but i couldnt seem to find it, is there a special way to use the crossover or will i need to buy an external crossover. I need info asap as i was planning on buying the hu tonight. any input is appreciated thanks |

I have no gripes whatsoever with mine. It powers my interior speakers very well. They definitely get easier to use as you learn it. They also have probably close to double the features that you first realize when messing around with it. Like mine has a L M H equalizer, but when I really started experimenting with the buttons, I found it has a second equalizer with like 12 different frequency settings you can adjust! And mine is a DEH-P4600!!, I got it for 63 bucks new a year ago (worked at circuit city and I abused the system) and I found out a year later that its got at least a 12 band eq built in, hahaha. Anyways, I would definitely recommend the premier line HU's. |
