I am looking at the Pioneer DEH-P860MP, anyone have any experience or knowledge with this deck? I like the features, and I think it will work great for my SQ stereo, but I have never dealt with pioneer. Also, is it comparable to the Eclipse 8445?

im seeing that the 860 and the 8600 have very little difference...actually im not sure what the difference is

the 860 is the premier, but i still don't know what the hell is different

that in a nutshell is pretty much the difference.....warranty and a shiny premier badge on the hu......

hey bill let us know what you think of those rev's ive only heard one set and i loved them

I thought Premier has a higher RCA output voltage? Maybe I am wrong...

Anyways, I have the 8600 and I love it...it does everything and it does it so easy. 13band equalizer (?) that you can adjust in 5seconds...It's got Time Alignment and comes with a mic so it can make adjustments for your car...Listener Position Selector...just a bunch of nifty little gadgets. Not to forget the graphics which are pretty damn cool. I'm getting all worked up...now I gotta go listen to it...

the difference between the 860 and the 8600 is well the 860 is the Premier version and the 8600 isnt, and preamp voltage.. which is pretty important to me.. but both have good voltage, i was actually going to get the 860 but couldnt afford it, so i went with the 670 Premier, which is a nice HU too.. look into the 930, you can get it for around the same price as the 860 now, its a Great HU even though its about 4 years old..

the 860 has pro mode.this changes th pre outs from f/r/sub to high/mid/low so you can run an active setup,i don't believe that th 8600 has this feature.

x2... I just posted this on another thread.
If you are going with an active setup, then the 860 offer a bit more flexibility.
