i regret getting my pioneer, cd's skip wwaaayyyyy to much, it sucks not being able to get full potential out of your stereo because you can only turn it up so far...................

i was wondering, what do you think? I have the kdc-mp435U in mind b/c of all its features and direct in front usb port. but is there a comparably priced ( 125$) pioneer out there? whats better all around pioneer or kenwood, im torn between the 2. ?? Thanks guys.

At that price point I'd say there about the same. Both made in China and good for a couple of years.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

pioneer has high static and its not as clear...but they are friendly user interface.

:wow:What static?? I have owned many Pioneer decks over the years and have NEVER had static. Sounds like user error to me.

Again, sounds like some very serious user error to me.

I agree,Kenwood is better than PIO.......

No skipping,no internal fried RCA grounds,more output and cleaner sound

Try them side by side like I did find out for yourself

Anyone can make generalizations based on their personal experiences. Overall, Pioneer wipes the floor with Kenwood.

See. I just made a generalization.

pioneer over kenwood anyday..... if you have problems with ground loop's and engine noise. you should stop installing.

that's the only down side to pioneer...

They must call you The General //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

If your in the position to buy a few HU's and try them

,test them , demo them etc

Then you can come up with your own conclusion,thats not generalizing

thats opinion.........If after listening to my Alpine 9835 or my Pio or my 889

and a few others - I concluded the 889 was superior sounding....

Sold off the left over HU's and rocked on.....Now If I had the time and or energy

I could try a few more and out do the 889 but I dont have the interest like I used too

besides the differences are all very small from this point foward

This part is your opinion.

This.....on the other hand is a generalization.

You're saying that all Pioneer headunits skip and have internal fried RCA gounds which is complete BS. Oh and so is the the MORE OUTPUT part. You must be comparing Excelon to NON Premier Pioneer headunits.

All I can say to this part is that I wish I had the money to throw around like that. Although even if I did I would put it toward something else.

What does that have to do with anything?? Besides, you may be able to get regular Pioneer all over but you can't get PREMIER just anywhere.

No point in bickering about it.... it's all subjective. Go out and demo the HU's and get whatever has the features you want and whichever you like best.

They are pretty close, especially at the price point you mentioned. Just go for the one you like the looks of and has the features you want.
