Pros: 3 Way Active capabilities, seperate left/right 16 band eq's, very nice quality build, built in T/A and Phase for each speaker.
Cons: No 4 Way Active capabilities out of the box, micro-fuse issues on some( micro fuse blows due to poor grounding of unit - causes hissing in speakers)
I love my 880PRS, it offers tons of control without outboard x-overs, processors and the such at a very reasonable price.

tell me more about this microfuse and speaker hiss problem please. I have one of these and it seems to get alot of groundloop noise, even with isolators.

Thtas pioneer at its greatest. Sounds bad as i sell them as well. Don't hold me to this but works well, no problems with pioneer decks since I started this..... On your pre wire, go ahead and solder a ground on the outside of ALL the rca jacks, do not use the ground from the radio harness, ground it to the chassis of the unit. No one has come come clean about why the rca's tend to loose ground, thats why the isolator won't work. I like pioneer and have used for over a decade, something needs to be done, thats what I do and have no problems,,ever. Just a heads up, if you try and ground the rca to the GRND of the wire harness, you will get feedback, it takes the on another LOOP. Hope this helps. Simple solution for a decent product.

and always plug in the RCA's to your amp after all other amplifier connections have been made...and do it while the system is off.

Ok, I need to solder wire to all of the RCA jacks and ground them to the radio chassis. Do I then need to ground the radio chassis to the car chassis or battery? Also, should I run the radio harness ground to the car chassis or battery?
