Pioneer 6900bt yay or nay? $99

Play with the sound engine options. Its pretty good.
going to try to get hu installed this week.. dude I was looking at the manual and holy crap it's got like 500 settings lol.. i'll get the car type and hp xover set the 1st day anyway rest may take 2 months..

 
should only take 10-20 minutes to set everything.... Its not that hard.
installing it on Thursday.. just can't believe all it come with for the $.. y I got u kid that bought my old equipment (on other thread) has a cab amp coming just got email it's been shipped wanted 4 12's I talked him in 2 15's to stick with 1 amp until he decides what he really wants so he wants to test subs before he makes giant box going to get 1 15" SA shouldn't he just run it at 2 ohm 1200rms?, so that way he can get 2nd one later or would sa take 1600 and sound so good he won't need a 2nd sub? remember this is in a dual cab truck.. ps do I set all xovers at 24db?

HOLY H*LL with the kenwood installed sound like I got new speakers (which I did but couldn't really tell) removed passive xover from rears and I'm going to cover the bottoms of them to make it like a box.. I set the xover slopes to 18db does it matter or just like if I set fronts to say 80hz and don't want any lower to get to it set at 24db or if I set rears at 100 and don't care if it lets some pass to 80hz set to 12-18db? also I set tweeter to 10k should I go to 8k? haven't even seen seating position on it yet just selected large car,6.5 and 6x9 &xovers which is really all I wanted but man that 5v preout really made a difference on amp I even turned gain down before I left cause I knew more volts would require to lower it but wow sounds like it added 200 rms lol..

yeah see why I said never to cheap out on a head unit? You can get way better sound after proper tuning, test out the sound realizer, stage expander, and stage height. Then tune the EQ.

If you use quality music files instead of youtube rips, you'll see a major difference as well.

time delay should already be set for you when you choose your vehicle and speakers.

Look for the other options i mentioned and play with the EQ

whatever you hear now, can get MUCH better.
