I was wanting to get the orgs opinion on this I have been shoping around for a good headunit that has graphics. I was thinking on a Panasonic but i was told by several people that they break down constantly, any ways I am all ears for some suggestions i want the graphics to be blue and nothing over 500 bucks thanks guys.

 

bump.............

 

you bumped after 2 hours in the audio forum???????? you want graphics get the pioneer 9600.

 

Check out JVC headunits. You can load your choice of graphics onto them with their PiCT system.

 

Pioneer 8600 is cheaper than 9600 and both have customisable screensavers, pics, slideshows. You can get an 8600 in the 300s on e-bay. Panasonic has customizable screens but they're blue. Pioneer has more colors.

 

P8600Mp worked for me and the price has dropped some i think its 320 or something like that now

 

thanks fellas

 

how are kenwoods as far as headunits

 

i just got the pioneer 8600 a few days ago and the screen is amazing
i bought it in china town for 305 + tax, the cheapest price i could find anywhere
great sound quality and has many features
also bought my sister the 7600 for new years and she loves it (single color display)

 

<--has pioneer 6400, its graphic, it is blue, I love it. I have a 4 year best buy warranty so Im thinkin about breaking it to get the newest 6000 series....HMMMM, I wonder what the best way of going about messing it up and and it still be looked at as natural causes?

 

so the 7600 is good

 

i have the pioneer 7600 brand new for sale: $220 shipped...

TPDuke112: Hahah,...4 year warranty is definitly worth it.Wanna mess it up and make it not look like your fault...get a cd you dont like,put it in the cd player,press eject like 5 times and hold your thumb over the opening so the cd cant come out,then it will get stuck in there.

 

Really KTA, they wont be able to tell that I messed it up? Cuz i dont want this to be the slightest bit risky....

 

i've seen those come in all the time.as long as theres really no damage and the cd is stuck then you should be ok.let me check while i'm at work today.i'll be out around 4 and let you know.

 

DEHP7600MP PION MP3 ORGANIC W/REMOTE 210.00
DEHP8600MP PIONEER MP-3 DUAL DISPLAY 342.00

thats wholesale list so look for it to be in that area or so. $305 is defiinitely a good price. Youll be happy with any of them

 

if you were to be amping any of your system i would go with the premier of all of those the sound difference is worth the extra money

 

the following are the only differences between the 8600 and the 860:
1. 860 has PRO mode
"PRO Mode allows a 3-way configuration of High / Mid / Sub rather than the typical Front / Rear / Sub. This is ideal for advanced systems that are bi-amplifying the front component speakers for improved sound quality and performance, and not using rear speakers."
2. 860 preout voltage is 6.5v compared to 4v for the 8600.
3. 860 warranty is 2 years

the differences between the 7600 and the 760 are that the 760 has ASL, wheels remote control, and 2 year warranty.

 

I just bought a kdc-mp925. I like kenwoods becuase they have so many options to adjust the audio. It has pretty good graphics, 5v preouts, radio data service which is phat! and i got it $200 on close out at frys! It would go for that for the price. If you want to spend 500 bucks, go buy an eclipse. If you want graphics, the 9600 is the most bling in the graphics, but pioneer is kinda simple for the SQ. Doesn't it have like 3 different EQ's and each have like the basic 6 settings?

 

I have a 13 band equalizer on my pioneer 8600. Plus a microphone that tunes the hu to the acoustics of my car. On my Kenwood KDC-422 it had the basic 6 settings.

 

Pioneer 6600 headunit. I have that one and it has some cool graphics on it. Alot of tuning features too.
