Gdspd08 2nd Gear February 9, 2008 Share February 9, 2008 (edited) Hi, new replacement model is coming out soon for P80RS. Is it worth the upgrading from P80RS to P80RSII? http://www.pioneer.com.sg/storefront/broch...8CE_Preview.pdf Thread http://www.sgsoundsystem.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8795 From what I see, the new PR80RS II spec seem to be the same as the previous model except that it can feed in USB thumbdrive and got Bluetooth stuff. Heard that these are optional items and need to purchase separately. Edited February 9, 2008 by Gdspd08 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcatsysop Neutral Newbie February 10, 2008 Share February 10, 2008 Hi Bro, IMHO, no point doing that upgrade coz it's exactly the same P80 except for USB thumbdrive and bluetooth that you need to buy external control unit as shown below. This is their P80RSII specs: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcatsysop Neutral Newbie February 10, 2008 Share February 10, 2008 Hi Bro, If you are seriously thinking of upgrading your P80 but not going for high end Alpine F#1 or Pioneer P90, then the choice is to go for Eclipse CD7100 or the newest CD7200MKII that comes with Bluetooth. These 2 are above $1k+. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdspd08 2nd Gear February 10, 2008 Author Share February 10, 2008 (edited) Yo bro, USB function I still can accept but as for Bluetooth, I dun really need that. BTW, I dun think I will upgrade my HU first. My first priorty is to up my sub or monoblock first. My sub should be down liao as I keep hearing boo boo sound. Cfm not tuning issue as I had put everything to flat mode. Still boo boo sound. My sub bass seem like unable to match my new car accoustic when it is still ok last month. Well, when I return to S'pore, I will see how. Maybe off my sub permanently as my Focal mid can easily beat my sub. Dun wish to get poison so soon also. Heheh Edited February 10, 2008 by Gdspd08 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcatsysop Neutral Newbie February 10, 2008 Share February 10, 2008 Hi Bro, <<Maybe off my sub permanently as my Focal mid can easily beat my sub.>> Focal K2P mid-bass lows are nice and punchy. < <<Du wish to get poison so soon also. Heheh>> Who poison who har? After you return, we meet for kopi and talk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenmical Clutched March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 Hi Bro... I m trading in my DEH-P6750MP for a DEH-P80 (Is there alot of different P80 cos mine is a sliver interface one)...is the difference huge? I was offered an Audio Step Amp too...nvr heard, at least not as often as Audison, Genesis etc. But it is Italy made. As i looking at sound clarity...not sure the above is worth the moola?

Bobcatsysop Neutral Newbie March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 Hi Bro, <> It depends on what huge diff you are expecting. A well tuned P80 with proper matching drivers will make some difference for sure. <> You mean Steg? it's Italian made. There are many bros using this Amp these days but low key so it's not as famous as those you mentioned. I am using that. <> You did not mention what prices for what models.. so no idea if that's worth it or not. If you attend our regular weekly Wed ICE meetups, you will be able to hear many bros having this P80 setups for you to audit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenmical Clutched March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 Thanks...the amp cost abt $800 plus. It was recommended becos i m really a noob in ICE. Just can't tahan playing my fave Jackie Chung Live & Gipsy King on some lousy syst. P80 $700 plus Steg $800 plus Current speakers OZ Matrix (may upgrade if end results is not ideal. For now still alright.) No Subs...cos no space in new car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcatsysop Neutral Newbie March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 (edited) Hi Bro, < P80 $700 plus Steg $800 plus >> Your Steg is 4-channel so you can run 2-way active?. No point running passive with just 2-ch amp. Edited March 3, 2008 by Bobcatsysop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenmical Clutched March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 Err...gd question bro. I didn't take note of it as i will only get my car in April. For now just settle what i want to get and also ask the shop to swop my old HU and speakers back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobcatsysop Neutral Newbie March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 Steg at $800 you probably can get for 2-hand only.. new 4-ch Steg should be $1.1k thereabouts if I am not wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenmical Clutched March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 Not sure...later will pop by to confirm again. It's ok...i can still change the amp cos i onli paid deposit so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobcatsysop Neutral Newbie March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 True... but perhaps after sometime, he will realize that and go for one small size sub (like mine) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
