Which head unit is better?

I have both of these head units, just curious which one you all think i should use for my car.

Pioneer DEH-P4500MP (xm ready, i dont think i want it though)

Pioneer DEH-P6300 (i think thats right) They are both 50X4

Neither one to tell ya the truth, here is why...
but for you, ummm DEH P6300 if you have subs, and if not the other if you have a computer and a cd burner for mp3s. Or you can sell them both and try to get the money for the P9400MP

PIONEER DEH-P6300

>Nice fancy flashy face on it, Great subwoofer RCA outputs to fronts, rears, and sub Thats nice.. very nice. So if you have some amps this one will look nice and wire to your amp and sound all the better, the downside is... no mp3 player.

COOL! Got a MP3 player so you can load up songs fron your computer making long cd mixes and you dont have to carry a heavy book of cds with you. Whats the number of songs on a 700MB disk? 400+ ? Something high and outragious? Good its got front and rear RCA preamp hook ups as well. Doooowwwnnn side... it has no sub preamp... KRAP! lol


ok, this is the one I would get,

PIONEER DEH-P9400MP

http://www.hookedontronics.com/show_...ls.jsp?cid=773

COOL! MP3 Player Preamps for front rear and sub! OMG! 13-Band Graphic Equalizer!!!
"Digital Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) with Built-in Microphone (5-Mode) " <-- wow it hears itself and adjusts lol DOOOWWWNNNSIDE!!!!!!!! 500 BUCKS! OUCH! Worth it though if you love your music.

The only reason i ask is because i have both laying around here and i want something in my car until i get my good system, i might get that one you talk about later, i think i might use the 4500 for now (no subs) thanks man

If you want to play MP3s then the DEH-P4500, if not the DEH-P6300. They’re both Are MX ready, any Pioneer with a P before the numbers in the model number is XM ready.

you can use the rear output as a sub output. it just doesnt have a sub control on the radio. it will work pretty much the same.

One of the only reasons im getting the 320.00+ alpine is the sub out. I hate changing my subs and 6-9s on the same damn channel. I wanna adjust my subs damn it....+mp3z...
