Kyblack76 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 The menu navigation sucks and the controls feel a bit cheap to me. Otherwise its a lovely headunit I dont care for the get around functions... but, after a day or so, i can get "around" ok. The feel is a lil on the cheap. If that 99prs feels like this id be upset, but, due to all the goods you get with this for the price, like you, ill over look it...........

Jessica Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah. I never use the remote. It may be the best way to navigate the menus.

CaptainWhoosh Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thank you guys fo the information. Looks like i need to learn what active/passive are and how to utilize it. We don't do it for the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanW Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Active/Passive refers mainly to how the crossover(s) are handled. A passive system will use a crossover block that is usually included with a set of component speakers while an active system will use an electronic crossover and amplify each speaker independently. You can also apply time alignment to each speaker in an active system as well, which can improve soundstage and imaging. I used my 80-PRS for a long time without an external processor and I thought it was great, however when I changed my front stage setup I required more flexibility with crossover frequencies so I had to add a processor, and I must say I now have vastly improved staging and imaging.

yurvalentine Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I dig the hell out of the minimal distortion at max volume, there's something satisfying about cranking the dial to max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcbrassard Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Price to start with. got mine for $230 off amazon. For a SQ build it is amazing but pretty much any build. The control you have in your system with this HU is awesome. So many people run these HU because they are one of the best out right now. The PRS-99 is a beautiful HU but comes at a huge price tag. Damn...4-way active would kick ass! This HU can take ok speakers and help make them sound like high dollar speaker. Really cant say enough about it accept it really shines in Active mode and this being my first active setup I will never go back to passive.
