What long term play has the board had with refurbished Pioneer HU's
I am looking at a P9 combo and can only find factor returned units.
Thanks
John

    Well, with the P9 combo, more than likely it was never abused, something genuinely went wrong with it and Pioneer replaced the board or whatever was wrong with it. I havent owned any refurbed stuff from pioneer, but my 940 is still working perfect and its almost 5 years old.

    If it was refurbished by Pioneer and had a warranty I would get it.

    Well it looks like my GF is going to get me an Alpine IVA W200 with a Alpine PXA H701 processer for Christmas. I feel like this going to be a much better overall unit for me. (1) fills out the dash on truck nicely (2) she is also getting the HD and the XM adapter. I have the best GF there is and smart too!

    Well she did buy me the Alpine IVA W200 and the Alpine PXA H701. I installed the Alpine IVA w200 very happy. As of about 3 weeks ago I puchased a dls ultimate 8.3, dls ultimate A3 amp dls ultimate A7 amp, a extra pair of uri 1 tweeters a ur 12 sub and xm sat hookup. I want to go active I plan on putting the 3" mid and 1 tweeter in the kicks and 1 in the a piler, the 8" will go into a custom inclosure lower door panels, with the sub in a center sealed box between the seats. Question what would a good starting point be for cross points over with slopes. This is going into a Dodge 2006 quad cab PU.

    Thanks John

    She looks nice. I just now noticed, but it's interesting that the top of the front bumper was color-keyed (looks nice!) but the mirrors/door handles weren't.

    Hey I had to wipe down this post with a hanky cause of all the drooling and tears, lol. But I do need help on this I plan on using the two 60 watt channels of the A7 for the tweets and the mid range and the 100 watt channels of the A3 for the 8" mid base. I am looking for high sq. By the way my truck is a graphite 4x4 srw 1 ton diesel with 18 x 10 teflon mojaves and Hankook mudders. Great truck plenty of power fair fuel efficiency.
