for that kinda budget
i will off for a Eclipse 5425

8650 is discontinue
guess u need to find for pre-own units

hey..my fren is letting go 8455 for rm1500 only
2005 top of the line

8455 is consider on par with HX-D2 and better than P1Y IMHO

the P1Y is just a DSP... many mid-range HU also has it

while the HX-D2 , u mean the DC-DC converter?

8455 is not a pure deck, it has got 3 way active x-o, EQ, TA, DSP, 8v output, copper body
just not to forget.... top of the range for eclipse at 2005...how bad u expect it to be ?

bah
why would we keep so many HUs around
let me count

8061, 8454, 9833, 946, 9255
i've sold 5 of my used HUs
the reason i sell is " Why I need so many HUs while i dun have so many cars"
so now i left 3 only

P80RS is using optical connection right?

copper deck and pure deck got no relation

copper deck means the HU body/cover is using copper
(this is to prevent external interference according to some other expert)

pure deck means it's just a CD "player" CD "transporter"
without DSP, TA, X-O, EQ,internal amp and wat so ever

a good example for copper pure deck is Eclipse CD8051/8061
