.......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 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Now that we already know the 880 blows away Eclipse in looks, lets go over some things you thought you knew.

Copied and reformatted from the 880prs online manual. As you see, the 3 way mode is much more flexible.

Network (3-way network mode):

High HPF:

Frequency ................ 1.25/1.6/2/2.5/3.15/4/5/6.3/8/10/12.5 kHz

Slope .......................... –6/–12/–18/–24 dB/oct

Gain ............................ 0 to –24 dB/Mute (1 dB step)

Phase ........................ Normal/Reverse

Mid HPF/LPF: Frequency (LPF) .. 1.25/1.6/2/2.5/3.15/4/5/6.3/8/10/12.5 kHz

Frequency (HPF)............................. 25/31.5/40/50/63/80/100/125/160/200/250 Hz

Slope (LPF) ............. 0 (Pass)/–6/–12/–18/–24 dB/oct

Slope (HPF) ............ 0 (Pass)/–6/–12/–18/–24 dB/oct

Gain ............................ 0 to –24 dB/Mute (1 dB step)

Phase ........................ Normal/Reverse

Low LPF (stereo/mono):Frequency ... 25/31.5/40/50/63/80/100/125/160/200/250 Hz

Slope .......................... –12/–18/–24/–30/–36 dB/oct

Gain ............................+6 to –24 dB/Mute (1 dB step)

Phase ........................ Normal/Reverse

Now as you can see the settings on the 880 in network mode are equal to the ones on the Eclipse CD7100 but with much more flexibility on the sub control.

Lets go over what we know so far...

Category...................Winner

Looks...................................880prs (opinion based...but come on)

Crossover Options...............Tie

Sub Control..........................880prs

EQ........................................880prs

Extra Features.....................CD7100

Price.....................................880prs by a mile

Basically the 880 is the easy winner here. The CD7100 does have the extra features like its ability to use Navigation which is pretty nice. But this is a no brainer. For about $150 to $200 less I can have a nicer head unit and money left over for install or whatever the fvck. I know what I'll be spending my money on when I buy a new h/u in the next few weeks.

^^

if you get a Brand New 880prs you wont need to do any modding to the preouts/RCAs

if you read up you'll find that pioneer fixed that problem... the alt. nosie and ground problem was from the earlier batches of the 880prs

thats why you see some people say their 880 had problems and some dont... because the newer ones have been fixed of that solution
