Hi All,
I'm looking for new HU for playing SQ passive..not consider for 80PRS because it too high class for me and also not sure my components able to support for active or not..
So i'm looking for HU budget within RM1K, do any suggestion HU for me? Thanks alot!!
Besides that, any comment for Pioneer AVH-165DVD and AVH-175DVD about the sound quality?

AVH-165DVD is very plain..basic, nothing more than a HU that cannot do anything more. Option/Setting/EQ very limited. You get what you pay for. SQ, check your speaker dulu.

there is no such thing as your component can support active or not... its just a matter of o you know what you are doing or not... if you want to know more about the basics of active settings, you could explore the manuals for your HU and your component on the basics and walk-around... **should just keep in mind on your frequency settings for each speakers... on the pioneer DVD... I enjoyed using the current AVH-X**** series more than any other HU on the market nowadays... its intuitive, its clean sounding, its features packed... but the only thing is you have to add on another processor of your choice to go active on these... as for P80 and the sorts... my experience with them... they always leaves me wanting more from them... to be honest, I never recommended them to anyone eventhough I still keep one...

Understand..maybe i just want to know that whether after i change my HU(Panasonic CQ7303N), the sound will getting more clear compare with now or not...haha...

harke, hu alone cant do much, any item that u upgrade got slight different for sure, but to what extend then need to see what u upgrade, every components in a system equally important from installation, ur entire system, cables and speaker placement affect ur sound.
but if u r not going very highend, u dun have to bother tho.....
why want to go active? if u r free n u know how to tune ok la, if duno better go for passive... less headache..
my 2cts...

Actually is not very bad la, only i can feel that the sound come out from my speaker is not balance..like too sharp from the tweeter when i higher the volume..if the volume is low, then is not sharp enough...

Hmm...I have a PRS80...full active and the difference between my previous player and even PRS80 without any tuning is huuuuuuuge
So yeah...I really really recommend it. But it needs to be tuned properly to get the best out of it. and of course if you are going to get it tuned, then you will need some work on your doors.
I recommend you visit howiechoo at EA Autowork for recommendations.
