yummy! the premier 80 looks quite beautiful in the dark. its a very good investment, and i hope you enjoy it. cheers!

PS: i dont think there is much difference between the p800 and p880 other than the fact that the newer one can do 3 way active. some bezel changes, and thats about it.

Congrats CLIP, a very good upgrade indeed. Waiting for some more now. P80 means something is bound to change for sure!!!

Congrats, Clip! That's a very nice HU. The setup must be sounding great now!

this is waht i also want to know can some one shed some light on this, there are many models available p800,p880,p80rs,p80rsII

[abhinav.gupta88]

I think P800 is nothing but P80rs and P880 is nothing but P80rsII.
I might be wrong though.

nothing nothing, what you want to say very confusing post.

[abhinav.gupta88]

I want to say

P800=P80rs
and
P880=P80rsII

I may be wrong though.

[frankmehta]

as i mentioned earlier, the p800(p80RSII) is the newer model, and the p880(p80RS) is the older one.
the p800 does 3 way/4 way active, which the p880 couldn't.
apart from that there are some bezel changes, and a couple of fonts here and there.
also, i think the p80rsII (thats the p800) is capable of aux, bluetooth and usb (and ipod) and has a slightly better way of handling things
as far as preout voltage is considered, both are pegged at 5V.
not too much of a difference. go for the p80RS if you never plan to go active, and if you have plans to go active later, then get the p80RSII

[karankapoor]

OK, go it.
any user of the same can tell us the difference between models listed above.

edit : thanks frank but there is huge price difference between the 2 p80 and p80rsII
p80rsII is for 23k grey and p80 is for 15k a difference of 8k .

@Clipto: Congrats buddy. The white display of the HU is looking awesome in the night.

[frankmehta]

no need to pay that difference. the difference could be attributed to the fact that our almost illiterate distributors in India think that a newer model means its deserves a high premium. the hackneyed policy of the distributors is appaling, but at 15k the p80 is a great deal. id pick the RS/RSII anyday over the 9887.

I hated the blue display of my 6850. this was one of the reasons why i chose p80.

p80 can do 3 way active.

Don't have any plans as yet. i might add a mono and go active. maybe in a month or 2.

I dont think p880 can do 4 way active. both are 3 way. Both HU have selectable fonts. The p80 has Aux-in on the front panel.

After reading Gill's thread (Alpine 9887) , i find it rather shocking to see the P80 after you were thinking of getting it very soon. But then its an amazing HU.

Yes i wanted to buy the 9887 first. At one point i didnt like pio's user interface but after using kenwoods and an alpine, i find pio's interface the easiest. This was the main reason i chose the p-80 over 9887.

[frankmehta]

here's what i gathered:
-the newer RS has a copper chassis
-its bluetooth, usb and ipod ready with newer adapters
-only the newer 80rs can do 3 way active, the older one can only do 2 way active apparently
-the newer one has slightly different detailing.
-correct me if i am wrong, but the newer one has a 24 bit D/a converter (burr brown) whereas the older one has a burr brown converter but not 24 bit (this point i may be wrong)
