This was my first deck and i really enjoyed it. It survived the dry Calgary summer with ease and ran my old setup easily. It is a good starter deck as it does not have built in bluetooth, only a 3 band eq and 2v pre outs. I never had any issues with this deck, also the color changing is a nice feature. My only reason for sale was future plans. I wanted an 8 band eq with minimum with 4v pre outs. So i upgraded to a pioneer AVH3300BT which will be coming in shortly from sonic. They stand by their product and are very helpful. Buy this deck if you want something nice to start off with!
