if ur looking at the panasonic go for the 8301 it is alittle better and on cardomain it is 189 plus u get a free wire harnes, frame, and something else i cant remember...i to cant decide between the 7700MP and the 8301
Yeah, the step up to the nicer Panasonic would be a great choice. As far as between the two, I think it's a matter of preference in what features you want.
why did u choose panasonic over pioneer...cause i really dont know which one to get...the panasonic is somewhat nicer looking and has features there but the pioneer has individual sub control, and folder search...does the panasonic have the folder view and search for mp3 cds
more features.... i gotta have a nice deck that does cool things, the pioneer puts out clearer sound i hear but other than that there the same, and yea that panasonic is going to have a seperate sub control
personally out of all those i would get the pioneer although i would consider the Alpine CDE 9847 or 9851 for that price off ebay...only problem that people seem to have with alpine is that they tend to have a lower pre-amp volt output so your amp will be working harder although i think that they are built better
The low end Panasonic is a good way to go. Pioneer and Alpine are better but only if you spend twice what you want to. in the low end stuff, I'd say Panasonic is the best stuff going. the low end Alpine is total craaap! I never gave any low end Pioneer a good listen so I can say either way. I have heard the sub $200. Panasonic stuff and its nice stuff.
check nextag.com for prices maybe you can find a place that has a lower price than cardomain has and then they have a 105% price match got my 41 dollar pioneer 10in sub for 31 (I'm on a serious budget but for the price I paid it sounds pretty good) you can also google the part number and see if any other sites have it listed cheaper . Had a good exp with my cardomai purchase
