HU advise Pioneer premier/panasonic

[projectONExB 10+ year member]

New to the site and need some advise on a HU for an xB.

I am looking at 3 different units and wondering if anyone has any advise. I will be running a mono amp to a IDQ12 and eventually a 4-ch amp to focal components, but the 4ch will have to wait a few months. The set up will be geared to SQ mainly. I like that the Panasonic has aux-in, but not sure if it will be a good HU compaired to the Pioneers. Also, is the 80MP worth the extra money?

Pioneer DEH-P7700MP - $225

Pioneer DEH-P80MP - $280

Panasonic CQ-C9700U - $280

Thanks for the help! Also if you know anywhere to get these decks cheaper, let me know : )

I have the Premier 770 (same as the 7700, just higher preouts) and I love it. Great HU for the price.

i would say either the Pioneer DEH-P80MP...or the Panasonic CQ-C9700U...i would lean towards the panasonic...but thats just me

can u get the 7700 for cheaper? cuz the most recent versions are P770MP and P8MP...

 

[94CamryBumpin 10+ year member]

i have a P860MP and i love it...

Awesome, thanks for the advise! I always been leaning towards the 80MP, but just not sure if it will be that much better than the 7700 and I just don't know anything about Panasonic!

go listen to them and see which sounds better.

Pioneer You can compare the 7700 and the 80 there.

the 80mps is sweey, you can make your own lil movies and download them onto the screen to play during songs. I think **** would be cool on it. but thats just my 2 cents

Now I'm thinking about a Clarion 655, but I am really concerned about the 2volt pre-outs. I'm really interested in the 24 bit processor and from what I have heard they are a pretty great quality deck...I'm all about SQ and value if possible and can pick up this $500 retail deck for under $200. Any thoughs on the Clarion?? I'd like to get an Eclipse, but have a lot of other things to spend money on too. (components, amps, sub, EQ, etc, etc...)

EDIT: After looking at what I wrote...I don't think it has 24bit sound processing.
