any owners around? Pioneer DEH-P5900IB

[redsupra101]

looking for a local's review on this head unit... was looking around and this not looking bad for the $1500 price tag... 4v pre outs and 7 band eq for 1500 bux? pshhht

crossover is average..

high pass 50/63/80/100/125/160/200Hz @ 0/-6/-12dB/Oct.
low pass 50/63/80/100/125/160/200Hz @ -6/-12/-18dB/Oct.


any owners and users (or satisfied installers) here could support this unit?

Great HU for the price its offered IMO. Working well for my setup....more on the sq side. I have the premier version tho. And look out for the refurb and made in mexico units.

[redsupra101]

these results soundin real good... i as well was thinkin of this or spend double the amt and get the 880prs.. but i think ill be pretty happy with this.. and plenty other sellers/owners/installers telling me it good too... so i guess this is it then

thanks all!

Lol, well look at that. I got the same Premier (590IB) version from Mr. Rovin too. Works really well, not need for a separate equalizer or pre-amp or crossover. And best of all you can control all those settings from the deck. They're a bit complicated but you get used to that.

The iPod feature is very nice too, I had an old 15gb ipod hanging around which I now keep in the car, so I have ~2500 songs with me wherever I go, without the need for a bunch of CDs.


Decent value for money, but if you don't have an iPod I'd go with the Premier 690UB model instead, with the USB connection, cus then you can just by some 4gb thumb drives and keep your music on them. Works out cheaper than having to buy an iPod as well.

wudda bought the 880rps, but that much quality for the extra price not necessary... no sense in having a badass head unit and then u cant afford speakers!
