[QUOTE="pik, post: 2071544, member: 569370"] OK here's a what would you do question. I picked up my CD7000 from Don back in may and loved evry minute of it until 2 weeks ago. I was having some trouble with the face, but mostly it was the fact that my preouts died:furious: well, i had my first competition in like 5 days (took 2nd in novice btw, yay!) so I needed to get something that ran 3way, and needed it quick. I drove 2 hours to my closest Premeir dealer and picked up an 880, and subsequently got ***** (they were charging $495 and MSRP is $450, lovely place, but authorized. So I've had the 880 in for 2 weeks, finally got around to sending my 7000 into Eclipse Diamond service, last week. And today I got back a brand spankin new from the factory 7000!!!! talk about a surprise, and quick ta boot! Well now, I'm bummed I don't know which to stick with and which to sell off. I have the iPod adapters for both units, as well as the sirius tuners for both as well. From a pure looks stanpoint the 880 looks nicer in dash, but the 7000 illumination is a perfect match to the factory. feature wise its close, but I think I prefer the PEQ on the 7000 over the 880's 16 band normal EQ. Both have great TA features- that's a wash Pioneers remote kills over Eclipse the auto setup on the pioneer is nice, but once it's dialed in what's that matter? both hav 5v preouts, although my amps gains had to be bumped up when using the pioneer. iPod functionality is nicer on the the Eclipse IMO I have actually used the nav feature in the 7000, for a rod trip, it was nice, I don't have the extra box for the GPS but it was nice to have directions at the touch of a button. Functionally, I think the 880 has the edge in ease of use, this could be due to the button problems on the 7000, that i was having tho. When it come down to pure sound, i don't know. . .i kinda feel that the 7000 sounds more "real" to me. I could be full of it tho. spec wise between the 2 i don't know which is better equipped. the pioneer almost seems a tad digital sounding. like i said could just be in my head. well this is a long enough post, so if anyone else has sampled both of these, what would you do??? thanks!
