Eclipse Cd5100/7100 Vs Deh-p880prs

[talibmohamid]

Which one should I go with out of these 3 guys..........the best sound and most control????

[lippstuh]

i believe the 880prs has great control. i have it but i didn't get to experiment with subs yet

880prs espeically if your going active.. its got alot of options to tweak with the eq settings

[matrxx dude]

eclipse 5100 0r the 7100 pwns all pioneer imo.

As does the CD7100.....

Of course I am biased...

No way Pioneer 880 hands down. They both have the same tweaks but the 880 has a nicer EQ. Quite a bit nicer so you can tune the sound a little more to your tastes. IMO the 880 also kills the Elcipse in looks. Eclipse decks look like billboards but that not to say I didnt like the Eclipse 8445 I had. And last but not least, price. You can spend $300 on an 880 or you can spend $650 on a CD7000 if you're getting a good deal. The end result will give you relatively the same SQ. But if you get an 880, you will still have $300 left over to put towards your sub stage or your install.

hmm-

neither

go with external dsp of some kind and don't worry so much about source adjustability

$350 > $700

lmao. Its true the 880Prs has 16-band EQ over the 7-band EQ of the CD7100, but u have to remeber its a parametric (w/ 3 different settings for each band)EQ instead of the grapic, so technically u can choose to use 7/21 different frequencies to EQ. Also the Time Alignment on the Eclipse is full adjustable, while the 880Prs is automatic (great for if u wanna fully tune ur system to ur likings ). Then there is the X-over, the CD7100 offers 0/6/12/18/24db slopes for Highpass, mid high/low pass, and low pass for sub. Where the 880prs only offers 0/6/12db for Highpass and 6/12/18db for Subwoofer. Also the 880's X-overs are set at certain points, where the Eclipse CD7100 lets u change it to a specific frequency, for example, HPF set at 3412hz @ 12db slope for the tweets.

Nice to know that u know how much better it is running the 880prs active based off just EQ settings.

But hey, it looks better

[talibmohamid]

Was wondering / I heard that alot of people have to do alot of special grounding and stuff to these pioneer decks, is that true??????I heard theres RCA problems with this thing? Can someone - explain this rumor, is it true or what????

Pretty and smart.


(I have a diificult time not thinking of you as that babe in your avator -- ****it).

The cd7100 is not that much more expensive than the 880. Regardless I would think the Eclipse is the winner here, I am just biased towards pioneers because I've become accustomed to using them over the years.

Also I thought the TA can be manually adjusted, I know I can select the distances for each driver myself.

Time alignment on the 880 is also fully adjustable. You can also pick specific frequencies for the tweets on an 880prs when in network mode. The 880 has a 16band independent L/R EQ and the Eclipse does not and i will still take a graphic over a parametric just about any day. All of the slope modes you mention on the Eclipse can also be reached with an 880 when used in conjunction with just about any amp. And then the 880 still looks nicer and costs almost half the price. Ill state my point again. Get an 880 and your sound will be on par with a Cd7100. Then you'll have a nice $350 to put towards your install, your speakers, sub stage or anything you want. The end result will be a nicer sounding system. If money isnt a problem to you, forget about both head units and get the H701 combo.
