My old Pioneer DEH-P1000 (I think that's the correct model number) lasted 4-5 years until my buddy was trying to put it in his car, and burnt the board on it.

how long have your decks lasted

Lasted as in longevity or lasted as in how long you used them before changing/upgrading?

My old pioneer has been in three different cars since 2002 and is still going strong.

If we are talking about unit longevity then the first eXcelon HU I ever bought, a KDC-X569 (2001 model year unit, I think?) is no longer owned by me but is still used daily by its current owner.

The unit that replaced the above, a KDC-X679 (2003 model year) is still alive and kicking in its current owner's '78 K-5 Blazer.

My current deck was purchased in Jan of '06 so wouldn't particularly be a good indicator of lifespan at this stage.

Running an Excelon KDC-x659 for the past 5+ years and other than the writing on the volume knob being faded it's going strong.

Been considering an 880prs, but I'm waiting for the Kenwood to start acting up or die on me...

Every head unit I have used has lasted as long as I kept it. Never had one go bad on me. I have had my current Alpine for 2 years or so.

I have to add the oldest HU that I still actually own, the Kenwood KRC-608 (as pictured in my 'Old cassettes still hanging around?' thread) is from the mid-90s (forget which year specifically) and it is still kicking with no operational issues whatsoever. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

kenwoods last a long time, they are great, i wonder about eclipse i wanna know if those last for a while?

Usually until I decide to get something else, which is every 2-3 years I suppose. Only had a couple decks shit on me back in the day.

My eclipse 55430 just stopped playing disc's after 8 years of constant use.

I had two Kenwood decks and one lasted 3 years before the RCA channels started going out and the other lasted about 2 years before the RCA channels started going out. Both had RCA problems and they were similar but different at the same time. My Eclipse deck is going on a year now.
