Go kenwood excelon //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Pioneer has made great products, but their preamp issues is what kept me away from them, I have owned many pioneer home theater products and never had a problem though, still have a reciever from the 70s in my shop.

My OS PG amp took out my Alpine 9813. Partially my fault though. Bumped the stereo-mono switch during the install leaving it in a middle position and that shorted the RCAs and it burned a signal trace in the HU and melted the switch in the amp. Fixed the amp but the HU I wasn't so lucky on. Just lucky that I found the problem before I cooked my new HU. There was enough current flowing to really heat the RCA cables up and make the plugs straight up HOT!

Alpine and Pioneer have both shit out on me. Now I deal with Eclipse only. I must say the new JVC decks are nice as well.

Yeah i had an alpine what was it 9833... after those series i've been really dissapointed with the newer ones i've looked at.... pioneer too.

If something happens to my pioneer i'll most likely pick up a slightly older clarion or just buy into eclipse.

My pioneer has problems ejecting CD's once in a blue moon, but that's it.

My Pioneer HU is junk. I'd rather have JVC again ... at least it was reliable and strong.

no...HU's dont fry amps..... grounded out RCA wihtout proper shielding may cause a HU's preout to fry, but likely not the whole deck....
