Hey I'm new here... Actually I'm using the DEH-7750. Thinking of upgrading already because the HU doesn't give me alot of options. Looking to upgrade to Pioneer P80 and later sell off the 7750.

 

The P80 looks great and also allows me to build up my ICE system. I'm a SQ person, so I think I'm gonna spend a bomb on my system.

[Elantrahatch]

haa.. then u thinking of selling ur HU?

[Zambik]

Yup definitely selling off the 7750 after I get the P80. I like the 7750's colour, haha matches my car colour. Too bad it doesn't give me enough playing options. Need something better to support my expensive ears

[Elantrahatch]

any idea how much u will sell? am interested to get a mp3 player for my car..

u look like targetting a low budget. i did some research about low budget before and my belief is that for a $1K budget, an amp should be skipped. reason - it eats into ur budget by at least $250 or so unless u get a dirt cheap and yet good one. and ur HU should have a BIT of amp power already so might as well use it since u're paying for it. budget system shouldn't expect to blast too much so a small amount of HU amp juice is sufficient.

 

speakers are compulsory and for a $1K budget ur speaker budget should be from $250 to $500. most of the $400-500 speakers require proper system so maybe sticking to $250-300 might be more sensible money-wise.

 

HU doesn't make a difference? i believe even for $1K system, u can still benefit from HU. if that $$ is spent on amp, u get more blasting, but the nature of sound will be quite stuck. HU on the other hand has important features - pioneer models can have 13 band EQ for budget tuning, and many brands have time alignment. comparing a straight sound from just amp-speaker to a digitally tuned sound of HU-speaker (no amp) i believe the perceivable value would come from HU-speaker. u will hear better sound "quality".

 

but then if u prefer budget blasting, foregoing quality, amp-speaker is better for blasting.

 

if u really get cheap deals on everything, u can get HU-amp-speaker for $1k but that's tough work hunting for deals.

Will be selling off my 7750 for around $300 I suppose. But not that fast coz haven bought the P80 yet.

Hi Bro,

<>

 

I will be there this Wednesday and I am using this P80. You can look for me (Uncle Bob) to hear my setup.

[Zambik]

Thanks Uncle Bob, but I'm currently tied up with something so won't be free to go meetups until at least mid June, definitely will want to have the chance to listen to yours, just looking at your setup makes me envious

[Bobcatsysop]

No problem. There's always another time Bro..

[Elantrahatch]

anyone heard of this I.C.E. installer called Lakeview Enterprise? Any feedback?
