(Note, I have BRZ, but question still applicable I think...)


I'm wondering if a new head unit will have significant sound quality upgrades for my setup...




I have just completed major upgrades of the system, and am considering upgrading the HU to a Pioneer AVIC 8100nex, and am wondering about sound quality improvements, in analog FM (or HD if reception is more reliable), and SAT.

I have the sub from a OEM-audio (I was very unhappy with the OEM-audio system), Image dynamics ES woofers for doors, and CDT es2000-e for upper-mid/tweets. I'm using a Helix PP82DSP for amp/crossovers/time-alignment/EQ (which is awesome BTW).

I'm tired of HD fm cutting out, and would love to know if the AVIC pioneer has better regular FM or more reliable HD FM.

Any thoughts on the subject?
