I used this head unit to control a large car stareo, I will never go cheap on a head unit again. The RCA outputs from this head unit are derived from an internal in-line converter (not true RCA outputs). Because of the poor subwoofer outputs I amplified a poor signal which in turn burnt out both of my new Kicker L5 subs and output processor in my Hifonics BRZ1700 mono amp. Very pissed off.



Although the sound quality and tuning capabilities are not up to par on the high end equipment, this is a good deck to play basic music on and watch dvds. do not attempt to run a sub off this deck.

Very good unit for the price. I have this unit installed in an RV so it doesn't get used everyday. I don't think this product would last very long for everyday use but have had no issues with its operation yet other than sometimes when you lower the volume it goes up. Not a big issue and I was expecting at least something funny with this unit. GPS is real good and fast. The unit is easy to use. I have it connected to several displays in the RV. The remote works in the rear of the RV. I have the TV tuner also. Reception with the supplied antenna is not great. Great unit with so many features. I wonder how long she will last!!!
