Sammy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Sorry for bringing this topic back. Im interested in getting some pioneer gear for my car, i have been doing a bit of searching and found this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Pair-of-PIONEER-TS-X8-Car-Audio-Speakers-/371278773676?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5671f07dac I can get it here for price + $30 shipping. If i could score it for under $100 would it be a good deal? or should i just splash out on some TS-X11's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake. Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 How can you get them for only price +$30 shipping? Says 120nzd for shipping on the page. If not they look very nice condition and i would play that price plus 30 for them. I have the same ones, bought them of orion. They sound nice too.

Sammy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I have a contact for shipping. Im wanting to know if its worth splashing out for the TS-X11's Interested in Orion's opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 TS-X11s (and the TS-X9s) have better bass response, but if you are paying any more than $100 plus shipping for a pair then it's not worth it. At that point you're just paying for the image/prestige, rather than any real advantage over the other models. TS-X8s and TS-X10s have partial metal enclosures, and sound fine paired with a small sub for bass fill. In a nutshell - if you can get a set of decent working Pioneer shelf speakers for under $100 to your door... do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ok thank you, appreciate the advice. I will most likely do that then if the sound quality isn't to much different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'd possibly be keen on that if you have a buy now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Not a bad start price, but bidding will probably go mental.

kicker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 What does that kr2000 dude do with all the gear he buys, is he starting a Pioneer museum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 He might have a sweet fleet of cars he decks out with period correct audio gear. Like someone on here does 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0R10N Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Man of colours was a bit namby pamby anyway ; ) That may be so, but it has sentimental value, haha. Anyway, any jokers interested in this (not my listing)? I recently splurged on an EQ-003 with twin GM-004 amps so I don't need any more graphic EQs. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=895040261 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pekanut Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi there,I recently bought a Pioneer KP-77G which is not working (motor does not run, electricity is fine). While searching for info about that device, I found your thread. I looked several times closely to the video but could not figure out where you actually installed the AUX. I found the left and right channel on my 77, but only direct output to the amplifier, i.e. treble, volume, bass have no effect. Here is a picture of my 77: http://s23.postimg.cc/vbig4q8zv/IMG_20151024_212258.jpg Do you have any photos of your hack? Or any idea where the left, right audio is on my 77? Thanks for any help!

torino Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'm also here as well for more info on chucking an aux in. Have got myself a KP-88G with an AD-50 equaliser and a slim pioneer amp to go with the cassette player to put into my 1200 Ute and the cassette aspect of the unit is buggered. Was hoping you could help me out with where you spliced your aux cable into so I don't end up frying the unit / my phone. Cheers in advance!

pekanut Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I found an easier solution: Cassette adapter. But works only if your deck head is still ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 I've found that each deck is slightly different based on how the amplifier circuits are constructed, so there is no single "attach AUX here" solution for me to suggest. Usually I splice the AUX in as a line level signal. There are some exceptions though, one I headunit I modified didn't require passive attenuators and another one hooked in after the amplifier but before the tone/fader controls.

0R10N Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Anyone feeling particularly flush? Sounds like (no pun intended) the cones might need some work though. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-stereos/speakers/pioneer/auction-1002316073.htm Good sounding speakers when in working condition, baby brother to the TS-X11s so are metal cage construction and have a surprising amount of low end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
