This is the first "nice" thing I've bought for a truck in a longgggg time.. if ever haha

Someone at work said the stock speakers have a lot of potential with a nice head unit.. I have no idea if what I got was what he intended but its a brand I can trust and it looks really clean.. I can tell a difference in the sound and it gets louder too. Eventually I'll get an amp and a 10" sub.. but this is all for now.

Its a Pioneer DEH-P5100UB.
MP3/AAC/WMA.. not blue tooth equipped but it is ready for it, i just need to buy a kit, also Sat/HD Radio ready.. pretty much standard on all the decks unless you're spending less than $100 it seemed like.

I think by far my favorite part is that i can leave the Ipod in the glove box.. charging, and scroll trough all the menus on the deck. That and its pretty plain/clean lookin, its not all bulky with a ton of buttons like the Alpine decks were. My only complaint is that its hard to push the spinny **** in while your driving w/o making it move side to side or up and down which changes the radio station but thats where the remote comes into play lol.

onto the pics.










....now i just gotta go through and delete 90% of the play lists i dont use anymore.

 

Thats what I love about Pioneer units, so much more clean looking.

 

almost bought one.....but just cant stand the look of that faceplate.....idk its hard to find any "OE" styled decks nowadays....or even just plainn and simple ones...

 

hit me up for your amp and sub...Got 2 10" Rockford-Fosgate Punch P1 subs and a R-F Punch P3002 amp sitting around not being used...

 

LoL someone lied to you about the stock speakers man! I've had my truck about 2.5yrs... Once you start crankin the volume they while crackle and that's it... mine sound fine low.. but turn it up to get bumpin you can hear the BAD distortion!

 

I should do something like that in the ranger, CDs skip too much

 

haha, Alpines have big awkward ***** and lots of cheap feeling buttons

he's got a burban, maybe its different.. I do notice like rap and stuff it distorts pretty bad but they handle country and rock pretty good.

what speakers would you recommend?

haha, my ranger came up when they asked if i wanted the extended warranty.. i turned to my friend and was like, "maybe if it was the ranger" haha, I'm gonna go get a Marnie head unit and speakers at some point so i don't need to keep the damn tarps over it all the time.

 

nice man... im lookin into getting a head unit since i already have kicker speakers i think it would sound good.

 

If your not really into huge sound quality some of the cheaper Pioneer 3 ways sound great on a aftermarket headunit.

 

BUSHMASTER FTW!!!!!
i have a xm-15 e2s

nice deck too

 

right on man! Putting my ipod deck and wiring my ipod in was the ebst thing i ever did! i HATE CD's!

 

Nice man, I've done the same, the player I bought came with an Auxilary jack so all I use is my mp3 player. every once in a while I'll use a cd. lol

 

You need to cut a hole in the windshield and mount the Bushmaster on the dash facing out the window!

 

 

one advantage to having a full size truck is full size windows

 

Haha "white male has been arrested for driving around Austin with a assult rifle out the window, this story at 10"

 

Nice Unit man. I like how it lights up the neon blue. I have a Panasonic Deck that lights up similar.

I have some Pioneer 4-way speakers and they sound great. However, its hard to tell the difference between 3-ways and 4-ways. I just got the 4-ways because they were on sale.

 

Yeah I have the 4-ways for that same reason as well

 

I don't listen to rap either.. just country, rock etc. I still have the stock ones, just deal with the distortion

 

hahahaha

we we're just sitting in his driveway..

this damn truck has 8 speakers.. atleast i had 8 wires to connect for speakers. im gonna take whats on sale lol

i listen to some rap, and some of the rock/metal is pretty heavy on the bass... its starting to bother me lol

 

It might have components from the factory. A tweeter and a mid so 2 speakers for each door. I dont' know anything about the chevy stereo systems though. You could also have a factory amp

 

i think there's 2 in each front and one in each rear. no idea.

 

Pioneer FTW!!!!

 

Nice headunit. I just put one of these in my buddies 99.

 

i know...thats why i didnt get another one. and you forgot about all the different bright *** colors
