1 reason why I love this head unit so much is because it has the double rca ports so you can put the alpine power pack to ad on to your system to make your head unit perform better, and power your speakers off an amp

Once you get use to where setting are this receiver works very well. Easily add the Alpine mini amp to it and BAM! No amp wires everywhere. Only downside is you cant control an iPod through the USB but that problems easily fixed with the iPod cord that plugs into the back. Overall great product and improves sound quality.

Sometimes it will randomly start searching for music and stay searching for about 30 seconds when using a USB. But other than that great buy!!!
