Pioneer
http://indashreceiver.blogspot.com/2...ultimedia.html


I'm leaning towards the jvc...cuz it comes with remote and has a detachable face.... the pioneer i REALLY like but its like 30-40 dollars more, has no remote, and doesnt detach. it also has a smaller screen. Wut ive been seeing is that the jvc has 1 set of preamp outputs and only a few people have complained.. I'm no sound guru but i do have a nice small kicker setup and ill eventually be upgrading my front speakers to momo components and the rears to polk 6x9s... If the consensus is that the JVC can handle that ill get it cuz i like the added security of the detachable face.. and ease of a remote..

 

pioneer looks nice, and will go with the stock sub in the back i say pioneer man

 

imo pioneer id say pioneer is the better brand. so for $30 bucks more id go with pioneer

 

lol u forgot i didnt have the stock sub right? mine came with a pioneer system delete....i have kicker sub and amp

dont forget the cost/benefit... the jvc has detachable face and remote..

 

Sounds like youve made up your own mind? LOL I think pioneer is better IMO

 

i love the pioneer... i just wanted to see wut others thought... the jvc has the few benefits that i like.

 

i was thinking about going pioneer my self but i wanted to keep an all pioneer system i dont really know why but thats just me i like all my stuff to match. Personally i wouldnt want the remote since my car is manual my hand is usually close to the radio anyways and i dont really use the controls much on the steering wheel. But its all personal preference so i say get which one you like best even if it is the one thats a lil more expensive cuz you will like it more in the end.

 

threw in my vote. sounds like u know what u want thou.... so get it

 

yea... i had jvc in my cav before it was stolen..i like their stuff... detachable face seems so awesome..and i went to a place today and played with the 810 version...same user interface and all that... oh yea.. pm sent to ya..

 

i stick to what i said about the pioneer...

 

I'm pretty sure its the 810 that has the detachable face not the 710.
I have the 800 and there is no detachable face, but I'll be honest the Pioneers look alot nicer in the dash, the JVC's kinda stick out a bit where as the pioneers fit a little more flush

 

wheres the pics? gallery's empty

 

how is the pioneer more money? we have that model at work on sale for 449

 

This was the only one I could find of it for the moment, keep in mind I was trying to get a shot of the wheel not the HU.
You see how it sticks out a bit

 

thats really all amp kit thou. can be modified to be flush if u really wanted

 

everywhere ive looked says it detaches..are they lying?

the p4000 i can get for 358 shipped and the jvc for 334 shipped but im buying something on top of that so the jvc is givin me a bit extra

 

Pioneer!

I got my avh-p4000 installed almost two weeks ago and love it. This stereo seriously makes the stock speakers sound like I bought some really expensive ones. I love the way the bass sounds.

Here's a picture:

 

No where on the link provided does it say it has a detachable face
I think you just read so many many specs they all just rolled into one, its happened to me many a time.

I can flush mount it?
Even though the bottom piece has to swing out just for the CD/DVD drive to be open.
Is it easy or would it be like tring to make me an installer in a couple posts

 

i say pioneer...its the hu i was gonna get when i get the money

 

crap...might have to go with the pioneer..one page i saw it on had detachable face but i dont see it on many others...

Thanks for the help everyone... i got the pioneer for 314 shipped on ebay from a good seller.... for those who dont know ebay has a coupon code going on and it saved me $35 on the purchase on top of it being free shipping.... now is a good time to buy.

 

nah you just have to drill new holes in the iso mount. or really just sand em bigger with a dremel. Since it has the movable face you cant move it that far back but you should be able to bump it back a bit. If you really wanted it 100% flush then just sand the bottom of the kit opening a bit ans you should be able to do so as well. Its not really hard to modify kits really but most people dont care

 

I'll give that a try when I get my car back
Thanks
