    CDA-9887 vrs. DEH-P9800BT

    Yea the 9887 does have L/R adjustments as stated, you just have to read the manual throughly to know that I almost got the 9887, and kind of regret not getting it now. I opted for the 4900iB since it was about $150 cheaper, but man the SQ just isn't there compared to my 880 (which was stolen)...

    Pioneer problem..

    This post made me lol IRL... All I can think a "black power thing" is the ground, but it wouldn't of turned on without a ground as far as I know. EDIT: Re read the post, I see you said it was turning on with ACC. Well then yes, the ground is not connected, and for those 30 minutes it was being...

    CDA-9887 vrs. DEH-P9800BT

    I think a better comparison would be CDA-9887 vs. DEH-880PRS

    Appreciating the 880PRS...

    Well last Tuesday my car was broken into and some asshat(s) jacked my PRS880 out of my car. Need less to say, I replaced my head unit, but this time with a 5900iB unit since I didn't want such a nice head unit tempting anyone for a while. All I can say is (obviously) the sound quality between...

    How to wire multiple amps?

    No need to be a dick, I asked a question, how is that remotely "acting" like I "know what I'm talking about"

    How to wire multiple amps?

    I plan on adding a sub/amp to my current setup, and will be wiring a second amplifier. Right now I have a Kicker powering my 2 - 6.5s and my 2 - 6X9s. I was planning on using an MTX Thunder 3001 amp with a set of 2 - 10" Subs (I Have a small car). Are you saying that this will degrade my SQ? I...

    To pause from the remote all you need to do is hit the program (PGM) button.

    OEL Screensaver

    The way Prowler explained it is correct. The Pioneers have room designated for 4 still images, 2 background movie images, and 1 movie. You Cannot go in and delete ones that came on the unit originally though. All you can do is overwrite any of the ones that may have been put on (custom images...

    Waste of Money??

    Yea they are 300wrms, sorry about that. I think I might just stick with the 300x2 amp I have, I am not lookin to BLOW away anyone, just get some nice added bass in my system.

    Waste of Money??

    Would buying 1 pair of 10' Kicker Subs that have a peak power of 600 watts be a waste to buy if they are only being powered by a 300 watt 2 channel amp? I have a spare 2 channel Rockford 300 watt laying around that I wanted to put to use (I currently have no subwoofers) so I wanted to use this...

    Pionner 880 - whine problem poll

    whine problem? more like whine problem solver! I went from a NOISY, WHINY, and frustrating P960 (basically a dual faced P860 FYI), to the 880 and I have zero noise at all in my system. I just wish I had figuered out sooner that it was bad RCA grounds. I spent countless hours troubleshooting...

    So my P880PRS just got here...

    best price is pretty much ebay. I couldn't find an online store. I payed $325 shipped from a guy in Houston, so even thought it was "Ground" it got to my house the next day But many people are even offering it at ~$300 shipped, so that's about the cheapest price I know of without buying used...

    So my P880PRS just got here...

    Yea this is my guess too. Another guess I have is that he has a non-amplified system, or a very low watt amp. I say this becuase I know when I upgraded my amp, the whine went from kind of low to VERY Loud. And pics are to come tonight

    So my P880PRS just got here...

    and all I can say is not only is this one of the nicest looking decks (IMO), but my ALTERNATOR WHINE IS GONE!!! (after a ****ing year of living with it) I went from a P960-MP (the dual face version of last years popular P860MP) and lo and behold, I have ZERO alternator whine, ZERO noise in my...

    Routing Remote Wire

    Yea my power and grounds are running on opposite sides of the car from the RCA's. Also, what would constitute a good grounding point? I know it has to be a ground loop but figuering out why is the hard part. I don't want to resort to using a groundloop isolator either since it really takes away...
