wtf is pioneer thinking?

[raverx3m 10+ year member]

they have completely stripped their new headunits of any usefull audio features.

and left the only option of 1200 dollar PRS unit.

the eq is complete BS (100hz-8khz)

no separate crossover for front and back speakers

time allignment?

it has become a SONY with really ugly design.

go ahead and compare new pioneers with sony and you will realize how similar they are in features.

My 9887 aint too bad. But I agree that Alpine has gone down in quality..that's why I just purchased a Kenwood not too long ago. Kenwood makes a great headunit for the money.

When 1,000w amps sell for $200 its hard to convince the bean counters to make a HU that would have to sell for $500 to make any money.

Electronics aren't built to the same standards as they once were. This isn't news.
