yup. Pioneer is fantastic when it comes to head units. Their Premier line is amazing, but their normal stuff still isn't too shabby.

That is just pioneer's regular HU's. Good choice though. I had that HU in my winter car. Really can't go wrong with it.

They are not the same HU's. The model numbers are almost the same and the Premier has a longer warranty.

that deck is alright, for the money though i would spend a little more and get a cooler deck, i just bought a pioneer deh-7800mp and i love it. or if u didnt want to spend that mugh get a 6800 but you can get them on ebay from a wholesaler new pretty cheap, basically almost cost. or you can buy my pioneer premier deh-8400 for 250 bucks but either way pioneer is a great choice

I got that head unit today. Its great. Makes my sub and infinity door speaker sounds way better. So overall I think it was a good buy.
