I only drive my RS 1.0 a few times a year now, so I just live with it. If I was doing it again I'd go with Alpine.
Like I said though, maybe the W8400 is different.

Sorry to hear pioneer didn't come thru for you. TBH if I was you at this point, I'd visit a pawn shop or a swap meet and see about trading it for something else, or straight up sell it. Someone else may want it for AA. If you don't need nav on board, go for a different/cheaper unit and someone else will feel like they got a deal and everyone may be happy.
I traded an old but nice looking sub and amp combo for a slightly ugly (paint worn) JL amp that was much more expensive at msrp, and seeing as it sits under the floor liner I don't care about how it looks, but couldn't happier about how it performs.
