Clarion v. Pioneer
Hey. I'm trying to decide which head unit i should get. I'm trying to decide between a Clarion(715/725) or a Pioneer. I had a clarion 5 series in my probe and loved it!! But i've heard some good things from my friends that have Pioneer decks. Just wondering what you thought. Thanks

Never had Clarion HU's...... so i don't know about them
Score 1 for Pioneer

Rep Power: 0 I kind of depends on which Pioneer yor are talking about. Not ALL clarions are better than ALL Pionners and not all Pioneers are better than all Clarions. I have a Pioneer AVX-P7000CD, (7" flip out screen) and I love it. Personally I have always been an Alpine person until I got my Pioneer, I love it and have had no problems. That another +1 for pioneer!

Rep Power: 0 Well the Pioneer 7300 (same pric range) has more features and a prettier dispaly than the Clarion... However the Pioneer has a cheap 1 bit d/a Converter and high impedance RCA outputs (not looking too great in the sound quality department... The Clarion is more functional in design and appearance, has a single 24 bit d/a Converter (can process more music faster thus getting clearer more dynamic sound).. and has much lower impedance outputs (Cleaner signal, less susceptible to noise higher s/n Noise ratio) and has True 4 volt RMS pre-outs.. Pioneer has 4 volt Pre-outs..which when tested put out 5 volts peak and 2.8Volts RMS..
So if you want more features and a prett Display go Pioneer,
If you want a more funcional design with better sound properties. go Clarion...
If you want something between the 2...the happy median between both.. get an Alpine [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].
