Why do so many people use this head unit? Active? Passive?


Recommended Posts

I have been noticing that a LOT of the big builds on here utilize the Pioneer DEH-80PRS as their source. I also notice a lot of people deciding to run active or passive. Why is this? What is active/passive? Is this head unit made by unicorns? If someone experienced could shed some light on this for me I'd really appreciate a little audio education.

We don't do it for the glory.

You should go to crutchfield and look at their research page, or google this stuff instead. That's the best choice for you to get the answers you're looking for.

I run mine active. Love and use damn near every feature except BT/hands-free calling.

"Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

Everything everyone already said. Love that I have 2 presets for a 24band EQ. Have yet to try mine on active yet.
