Another this vs that question

I'm having a tough time trying to pick between 2 head units. I did a search on both and couldn't find anything. Right now I have a Jensen Phase Linear uv10 and i'm wanting something with more sq, also I don't need dvd. I'm looking at either this:

JVC KD-R80BT CD receiver at Crutchfield.com

or this one

Pioneer DEH-P9400BH CD receiver at Crutchfield.com

Thanks for the help

Only thing that looks better on the pioneer is the 5 band eq. The JVC doesn't look too shabby at all.... I like the (almost) 5v preout's.

Welcome. youre right down the road. I live in ukiah.

Id take the jvc personally. Some of the new stuff is great and no pico fuse issues either.

Ive seen the jvc's with the "almost 5v preouts" put out 7v right before clipoing. They are nice decks for sure

Hmmm... Sounds even better now.

Thanks for the input guys. I went in a different direction and got a Kenwood x395 and had it installed today. Loving it so far.
