I got this and could not be more pleased with it.

pros.
I have Kenwood rear speakers which are great and put out some hella bass with my Sonic 6x9 ported boxes I got from here and this allows me to put the highs up front and keep everything in the back how amazing is that I have a stock front from my Saturn 95 with any bass they slap against the magnet and sound horrible but hits head unit let me put just the highs up there how great with the equalizer you can change the hertz that it increases and the range and the decibels how amazing is that overall a great buy DEF WORTH THE MONEY

cons. Mine died after a month but Sonic is so amazing that im shipping it back to them and they are either going to repair it or buy me a new one and when i called them i only had to wait for a minute! quick response and everything GO SONICELECTRONIX!

overall.
...........BUY IT!

Works great for how much it is. Yes its a Sony deck but its not the worst they have I power every thing with separate amps so I don't know how the deck it self sounds but it provides great signal to my DB drive A7 125.4 and my CDT comps along with my A7 2500 powering my DC audio level 3m2s.

Ok first off I buy all my audio from here and the service is second to none. Second I bought this head unit to replace my crappy Sony one in my C class. Really didnt want a sony but after the look an layout of this one I thought id give it a try. For the money I didnt mind figured if I didnt like it id sell it to my brother. Well I also bought two sets of components to replace my kickers in the car. Well I put this head unit in and holy crap it changed the sound even with the old speakers. Not only would I recomend this headunit I WILL recomend it. I honestly just can not say enough about it. In fact i am writing this from my car inside the garage on my tablet lol. DONT BE ON THE FENCE BUY THIS HEADUNIT!!!

Works great, although i noticed CDs skipping due to LOUD music. Every day usage at a decent level not a problem. USB and aux outlet both work great.
