[QUOTE="bass_lover1, post: 4927744, member: 555256"] Pio has a better EQ. I don't care who says a PEQ is better than a graphic, the 5 band PEQ on the Alpine is a joke in my eyes. The L/R independent 16 band on the Pio is better to me, I really think Alpine dropped the ball on that feature. Both units have T/A the Pio's auto T/A is a nice touch, and it actually does a pretty ****ed good job IMO. The neat thing about the Pio's T/A is even if you want to do it manually you measure the distance from each speaker to your ear and input the 4 lengths (if two way front stage). With the Alpine, you use the speaker farthest away from you as a starting point, take that distance (put in as 0 in the T/A section) then you measure the distance of the other speakers to you, and subtract the difference from your original. It's a bit trickier, but it works just the same. Pioneer has two built in Aux ports, I believe the Alpine requires you to use an adapter. SQ is subjective really, both sound good in their own regard, but thats really up to you. Also, once you start tuning with either deck, IMO the sonic signature of either deck really goes out the window, because they're so customizable you can make either of them sound really well. The Pio does have some really cool features, that I do miss some times. However, the slow iPod control and having the pause and mute functions buried into a menu really annoyed me and the Alpine is a nice substitute. [/QUOTE]
