Ian01 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet lol. Lol what are you thinking?? ive always used pioneer h/u's. they have great quality and easy use if you ask me. some people say the controls get time to get used to but with any audiophile head unit that comes with all the good options it will take some time to learn it all. currently i have the 80prs-deh wish i would have known about that guy selling them cheaper but then again warranty is nice specially with authorized dealers. ive read its clean 60/62 but above i see someone said his is clean full tilt. i usualy keep mine at about 55 mostly because i dont have a dd-1 or anything else to test it with. Damn, lotta people love this Pioneer. I think I'll have it or what Haters said. Crutchfield has it for 280 shipped fyi. I made the switch to Pioneer from Kenwood, it opened up new doors . I was speechless, I love the features and it just looks so damn nice. There are other models that are nice too. Damn!! Crutchfield has it for $280, that's nuts with the install gear too. Lol this comment pretty much seals the deal with Pioneer.. I love the look too.. and Sonicelectronix is stepping their game up too Shop around a little bit.

Had an amp acting funny and had it replaced in 2 days of the phone call... WTF right. ·· YouTube ·· ·· The Ride · The Audio ·· ··· The Toy ··· Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaBassHead Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Absolutely love my deh-80prs. Crutchfield would be the best deal since you get free install gear. Amazon has it for 268 + free 2 day shipping since you already have install gear. But I (like most other people) highly recommend it. I tested mine with a DD-1 and it clipped at 62, which is the max signal.

REVOofRustler Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I couldnt be happier with my deh-80prs. It did take a little bit of time to get used to, but it's pretty easy once you get used to it. The amount of audio customization features is ridiculous! 2002 Dodge Dakota 4.7 club cab - Sold 2004 Audi S4 Avant - Fi and Crescendo - Stock Bose System - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147725-2002-dodge-dakota-end-of-the-road/?hl=%202002%20%20dakota 136.4 Sealed @ 29hz 137.0 Drivers window open @ 26hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
