Hi Guys, i am getting my Z soon and i want some advice in setting up the sound system

speedfreak28 · 09-22-2009, 04:25 PM

Pioneers Z seriess is definately top notch, Id run one over a kenwood any day however the F series is sluggish even after the firmaware update( I had one and Installed one in my girls car) This isnt even a thread about what HU to run, it seems he had his mind set on the 7140 anyway.

You have to upgrade your F series to the “2009 F-series Navigation Upgrade SD-Card #CNSD-100FM”, it really turns the “F” series to a “X” series in about 35 minutes!!

AS FAR AS DOUBLE-DIN HEAD UNITS, KENWOOD > PIONEER IMHO.

i had a single din PIONEER HE on my 93' sentra and it was great
but as for DOUBLE DIN HU's, KENWOOD FTW.

Alpine hasnt been the company it was for almost 5 years since they stopped making the F#1 status and got away from anything high end. now its all outsourced garbage.

kdo2milger · 09-22-2009, 04:49 PM

all of them regardless of name brand are made on an assembly line much the same as the rest...

theres gonna be bad units in every batch regardless of the name on the faceplate...

IMO not true I know speed you and me see alpine differently I still see them as being a great company.

Alpine has been riding off the glory of their name for years now. They only have one source unit with 24 bit DAC's, In fact they cut most of the cd line to make cheaper digital media palyers. doesnt scream quality IMO. They dont offer any of the features that are built in most other brands. you have to buy a separate module for bluetooth, nav, and HD radio. I dont know what you still see in that company

Probably a commission since he has made money off the forum members (who actually own a 370Z). He is always bashing Pioneer with his two friends. Look at the threads, the same names appear. I know Kenwood (car electronics only) are really good HU and have owned them and still recommend them. I would rate Alpine today a little less than that of Alpine of the past. I would have to think the commission is a little higher for Alpine, why else would someone really push the product?
Pioneers Z series is definitely top notch with the new AVIC X not far behind.
Once again, Kenwood is a great product, so is Pioneer……….

Trolls, stop bashing Pioneer
