This is the first product I bought from Sonic and it's been a great experience. I live in Cali so I get the order the next day without paying hte overnight fee....Sweet! The product itself is great. Not too fancy but has all the bells and whistles I needed. I no longer need to waste blank CD's. the USB is awesome.

I have a Jeep Cherokee with a decent system. the Hifonics Zues 500Wx2 amp running 2 Kenwood KFC-W3514DVC subwoofers. i also have 2 6x9s in boxes powered by 2 little amps i got for free. i have 6x9s in the back hatch and 2 5-1/4s in the front door.
i upgraded to this from a $60 dollar p**-**** head unit. im not to thrilled with it. the internal amp runs extreamly hot...but sounds good. the rca outputs were not grounded to the chassis of the stereo, so i got a lot of noise from that. also i had a lot of noise problems. so i ran a dedicated positive and dedicated negative from my battery to the head unit. it helped but still get a lot of alternator wine. so i grounded the chassis of the radio directly to negitive and that got rid of more.
i also have a loud POP every time i change the cd track.... i have more work to do. but i have a feeling that some of the noise may be coming from the 6x9 amps.
other then the slight noise problem...it sounds really good. i love all of the options and the ability to change all of the settings. it is really like an mp3 that has a radio and CD player in it.
and it is hard to get used to... no buttons but lots of directions to push the knobs.
