I don't want to end up one day with a choice of head units as Boss audio, Power Acoustic.SoundStorm or some crap like that. What is going to happen to this nice Pioneer amp BigD bench tested recently that was a budget gem. Well it may end up like Soundstream and what they did to that amp and changed the board to junk it up. I think this conversation need to be moved to its own thread. I'm still wow Pioneer sold out.
