Panasonic vs. Pioneer

[PRIVATEpastry 10+ year member]

I've been browsing around eBay, and I found a store that sells refurbished Pioneer DEH-P770MP HU's for $160. I'm probably going to go that route unless you all can steer me away. Any last input?

check to see what the p80 is going for first.

The P80 was going for about $230, I believe. Too rich for my blood.

I just completed the transaction for my new DEH-P770MP this morning. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

Should I get the 3 year warranty for $16? The HU is refurbished.

Got the warranty. HU should be here early this week.

Even though the Kenwood has lower volt preouts and only a 4-band paraEQ compared to Pioneer's 13-band graphEQ I would say the eXcelon KDC-X889 and Premier DEH-P960MP are pretty comparable overall.

No disagreement here. The 889 is one of the best decks Kenwood has EVER offered. It also looks a little nicer than the 960. I like the look of the 860 more than both of them though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif but thats probably because I own an 860.
