While on holidays in perth i just went into Audiocom in Rockingham looking for a radar detector and walked out with a full pioneer system bar the amp and subs as i have no need for that ****. I paid $1250 for the lot for:

DEH-P8650MP head unit
TS-C160R 6.5" 250W fronts
TS-D691S 6"x9" 350W rears

i was told this is top for the range i think i got a bargin maye you guys can help me out???

Cheers in advance!

if there the yellow cones and paid a bit for the speakers, yes top of the range for pioneer

It is good gear but does our opinion matter now that you've already bought your gear valaxy66? ;)

i was just curious, performance wise it looks good on specs so i'm happy with that, was more the price, if anyone has these speakers or headunit let me know what you think, i was gonna install them this weekend but Karratha is lining up for another cyclone this weekend dammit!!! oh well get pissed instead.

i got pretty much the same setup but off ebay and with the deh-9650 ... same splits and i think the 6x9's i got were 400w ... all up and grand ebay total of $900 and all of it was brand spankin and been installed now for about 4 months with no hassles

Why dont u amp these babys...hook em up to a 4 chan amp and make em sound better :p...I have the 8650...bloody good unit that one. I love it! Best thing in my car...

I woulda thought for that kinda money there'd be better options than pioneer?

thats a pretty nice setup :) Im not sure but i think you can make your own screensavers for that deck on your pc :D

like kenwood rubbish ? or even maybe supercheap sony xplod

everyone has a differnet opinion but at the end of the day i like pioneer cept for there amps ... but i amped mine with crossfire amps which i think are better than most other amps and it all sounds supersweet

He has Bought Pioneer, thats a Step in the right Direction..

Yes the TSD's are the Yellow Coned Pioneer ones..

Yes the Price you have paid is What would be expected for a Top Deck and Choice Speakers..


The TSD's are going to require an amp, they have a Low Sensitivity and need an amp to make them sound good or else they will sound Crap.. They Crave Power..

i'll keep a 4 chan amp in mind i see that the deck isn't even gona go close to driving them to the 80w RMS or there abouts just more cables to run..... cheers lads.

Well i dont know what HU he got, is it an expensive one?
I meant just speaker-wise, though if he paid mostly for the HU, which i can now see sa a possibility, then thats alright. I have a pioneer system in my car that goes pretty good, but have seen better speakers out there, and no, i hate kenwood :P.

I have Priced them up from Independant Retailers

and Got $1297

Damn thats a pretty impressive head unit!
Whats the RRP on that?

I have seen them as High as $999 but I also have seen them on Special at $699..

So yeah it is an Impressive Deck...
So Definately a Bargain at the Price he got his Gear for..

frhx 'It is good gear but does our opinion matter now that you've already bought your gear valaxy66?'

not my thread, and i don't know where you pull that from :confused:

i was just saying if there the yellow cones then there top of the range pioneers, i haven't got yellow cones

I think he got ur name mixed up... Those yellow cone pioneers arent too bad... But as the top end pioneer gear imho they dont compete with many other brands, eg dynaudio, morel, diamond, eton in the same price bracket.

Still a good buy Im sure you'll be happy with them.
