Thank you Thank you! I have only 500 RMS currently going to each sub, they can more but it's already crazy loud, I play it on low with a bass of -2 lol...and yea it drains a lot of power I actually ordered a yellow top optima battery the other day, my OEM was to weak...it should be waiting at home for me as we speak

 

Pioneer AVH-P4400BH and JDM DD

 

Nice!!

 

Thanks!!

 

So I see the past posts have a pioneer 4400 is this better then Kenwood? Like i hear people like the usb not on the front or something? Where does it go then?? I know Kenwoods they have it on the front I dont mind it but maybe it might be better then the back. ALso the 418 is older model of 419 and I was wondering whats the main difference? I know the problem with the 418 was bluetooth

 

yep, 1000wrms sub still hits for a 10. amps rated at 1500wrms so there's no overheating, the thing stays super cool the whole time. idk still tryna figure it out w/o buying a new battery/alt. big 3 helped but didnt fix the problem...

 

The 4400 and the 8400 have 2 USB inputs on the back of the unit. Here a pic of the back, they are on the top right:

The main benefit of having USB in the back is having nothing on the front. Then you have a larger screen.

 

ALright so if I do get the 4400 is it better then the 419? Does anyone know? What happens if the usb gets disconnected from the back? Doesn't that mean I have to take the whole unit and plug it back in?

 

Here's the comparison from Crutchfield. If you're looking at the 418 vs. the 4400 though you might as well also look at the 719 since its' the same price as the 4400. More comparable unit as well with the 7" screen.

Yes, if it gets disconnected in the back you have to remove the head unit and plug it back in. Plug something into the USB drive on your computer. Now unplug it. See how hard that was? That's how hard it is for your USB to come disconnected from your head unit, too.

 

Yeah but doesn't taking the head unit out means taking out everything??? So looking at the comparison I like the 418 better so i decided to buy the 419... I hope im not making a mistake :/

 

You can use USB extenders so you put the USB socket wherever you want - Glovebox, center console, top cubby, sunglass holder... wherever.

Note the USB extender that comes with the radio (kinda hidden, on the left):

 

FYI, the 4400 only has one USB.

 

if you think about it... even w/o the extender how the heck would your USB cable become disconnected?! plug it in the rear of your PC and then plug your iPod in... now bring your iPod to the front of your PC where you sit... now pull on the iPod, I know dang well your USB aint commin unplugged, your iPod is!! thats crazy that that would even be a thought in your head imo. not bashin ya but theres no way its coming out... if anything you would be pulling the connector "into" the HU...

 

The JDM kit fits with your factory NAV perfectly, I had no issues when screwing it to the JDM kit. The Metra you will have to shave down some parts of the trim kit plus the chances of dinging up the trim piece and it looking bad after it's done is a possibility. The Metra kit i've seen and the color match is definatley off. The JDM is right on the money and by far the easiest install when doing your factory NAV and DD HU. Inbox me if you have any other questions.

 

perhaps when I stumble upon some cash I'll upgrade to the yellow top too... I'm not to fond of upgrading my alternator. after trying to add a 4awg lead to it for my big 3 I realized its location isn't the easiest to work with!

btw, did you notice a difference with the new battery? any stuttering on your end?
