Im wondering if i can get some insight on 3 of the pioneer HU's on https://www.ikesound.com/category-category_id/103. Specifically models Pioneer DEH-P6500, Pioneer DEH-P5500MP, and Pioneer DEH-P550MP. I'm looking for the best bang for my buck, and of the 3 which would give that? I like this site and its reputable so this is who i am buying it from. Any suggestions would help.

I agree with both the previous posts. I have both the DEH-P5500MP and the DEH-P550MP. I thought about the 6500 but the difference between that and the 550 is just the fancy screen. The 550 is slightly better then the 5500, mainly because of the extra output (both have the sub output and front output, but the 550 has rear out also) The 6500 is a nice unit also, it does have a little more flash as far as looks go but thats about it. I would say to go with the Premier Pioneer DEH-P550MP, it is a great unit and in my opinion, premier series remotes are better then the Pioneer series. (I though i would never use a remote, but when its right on your steering wheel its nice to have and i would now miss it if it wasn't there).
