Worth to upgrade from Sony to other HU

[Toalson]

Just curious to understand if it is worth while to upgrade from my previous HU tranfered to my new ride to other HU

 

Currently using;

HU-Sony GT700

Front-Helix dark blue

Rear-Helix blue

Amps-Soundstream picasso 4x100

Sub-Steelemate active sub

 

Was wondering if should be going for P80, 9887 or others.

 

Music preference: jazz, techno, dance, R&B, pop, rock, guess its everything.

Hi, bros,

 

You probably won't get much input here than this forum www.sgsoungsystem.com

Give it a try there.

Bro, typo le. It should be this

sound system is very personal. your decision will depend on the satisfaction

from your current HU: good? not good enough? some may need basic sound,

some have more 'cultured' ears ... so if all depends on you.

 

the road to ICE nirvana is neverending.

 

watch your pocket.

Guess I was poisoned when /i heard others with other setup.

If you very particular abt sound,cant beat Alpine ,2nd is pioneer

[Roasted_nuts]

Pioneer P80RSII is more of a dynamic HU

 

Alpine 9887 is more towards warmth

 

but with the right tuning both HUs can match what you want to hear. however take note that alpine's radio reception is not as good as pioneer's. both HU can enable you to run active (more amps need = more formula M)

 

but if you got the budget. then P90 + DEQ90 is the best choice juz below the famous alpine F#1

 

there are other HUs out there like the clarion D1 & D2, eclipse 7200MKII and Nakamichi CD700II

 

so go out there n listen the setups then make your choice. then next will be your speakers, amps, subwoofer, caps, wiring... welcome to the ICE journey

Thanks for the feedback, was kinda of going towards P80 as has more function. But all still say the 9887 have better sound

....But all still say the 9887 have better sound

Those who said that... are their 9887 with 701 processors or 9887 with imprint?

[Toalson]

Good point.

 

In fact just check with my installer, he only advice that unless I'm going active setup, its pointless to change the HU. And furthermore he added that if going active advantage of P80 is less things need to add as compared to 9887.

 

Guess I should just keep my HU and enjoy. Maybe focus on next rims & tyre upgrade to 16".... lol
