A guy over at Elite Car Audio owned both of these units... and according to him there is one major diff...

The Premier 860, has a true 3way xOver network under Pro Mode (tweet, mid, sub) feature that you change via switch on the chassis, allowing you to band pass the rear outputs to a midrange.

This feature apparently isn't available on the Pioneer 8600 and all you get is a 2way independent (front, rear & sub) where the front & rear offer only high pass filters.

If you carefully look over the specs on Pioneers site you can verify this & the fact that the 8600 has 4v outputs & the 860 has 6.4v...

No idea, I found that link on another site. I'm assuming that is all of their products for 2006, or at least the new ones. Maybe they are just bringing the old models over for the double din.

Yes... the Pioneer AVG-VDP1 can do this when used with a compatible Pioneer\Premier display. Looks like a video game.

I have been toying with the idea of using it with an AVH-P5700DVD to replace most of the instrument cluster gauges & put speakers on the Dash of the Saturn. If I do it. It would remover the driver side hump on the Dash & I could center the 5700 on top of the air vents in the center.
