Heres my attempt at a n00b post.

Pioneer or Alpine. Yup just those two, Im quite curious to see the results. Of course SQ and control is my primary gain here.



This should be fun...

Eclipse....

 

Why not? Please share?

 

That's not in the list sir.

 

pioneer just cuz it's so easy to use. i don't like to navigate alpines.

 

Don, get the dolphins!!

 

But the Alpine *seems* easier.

 

Hell no, I dont need no graphics...

 

seem so yes, i have a few friends running alpines and eh, me no likey their menu layout. pioneer much easier to tune and navigate. but then there's the preout issues...

 

Preouts? Nah I dont have that issue with either. Well at least I dont see any on the HU..

 

Oh and the Alpine looks like a better/cleaner display.

 

no preouts on the pioneer?

what pioneer is this...

 

Well there are, but theyre on some 'brain' thingy.

 

higher end pioneer i see....

 

Meh I guess, its pretty, thats all I know.

 

eh, i still go with the pioneer in that case.

 

I guess, but Im still not sure.

 

off topic...i know you can kerf cut a MDF board, can you kerf birch? or would it splinter...?

 

Pioneer sounds better than Alpine although both remind me of the forest

 

You mean for bending purposes? I dont see why not, its done on Ply sometimes...Although I could see splintering during the bending process.

 

Blah your no help.

 

yep for bending purposes. i wanna try it for my next box build for my buddy. little 1 cube ported for a 10. it would be nice if i can flare the port with a kerf'ed piece of birch.

 

so try it out, if it splinters - then it didnt work.

 

haha true, but then i'd wasted time and a piece of birch.

 

Blah, so what?

 

Now I want some more feedback on my HU choice...

 

where's the rest of the post ******...kinda quiet in here tonight...

 

wtf? Don considering Pioneer? considering Alpine? is hell freezing over?

F1 status on the Alpine im guessing?


specifically what units?

 

My vote is on the Alpine, not only does it run cooler, but you also get some HP gains.

 

Pics might help .


Me thinks pioneer partially because of the ease of navigation, buy in either case how can you go wrong? Try one fo oen week and the other for another week, start with the Alpine then go to the Pio

 

Not that easy, Way too much work...

 

I lol'ed

 

so.......what unitz?

 

I know, but the alpine requires less work, no? So you acn do that first, if you don't like it, then pio it is, lol.

 

How would one require less work?

 

i find alpines are more rugged. i had a cheep 150 dollar alpine and it lasted longer and sounded better than my pioneer that was 250. but had more options to play with on the pioneer.

 

same token, i gave my brother a pioneer like 4 years ago, he still has it and it sounds freaking great for what it is, and for what its worth now. They're both very reputable company's

 

Pioneer because faulty preouts are my bag, baby.

 

Highly doubt that issue will arise with this setup.
