This is a perfect head unit which is very affordable that you will have your friends thinking you paid an arm and a leg for. The digital read out is so sharp, the ease of using your iPhone/iPod to the usb or Aux is a dream especially since you can change the songs the way you want. Very easy to install and like I said it's an affordable unit that sounds and looks like a million bucks!!

This is such a great value in a head unit. It has exactly the features that I wanted and can even control the changer that I had left from a previous setup where the headunit was stolen. The sound is outstanding, I replaced a pioneer unit and couldn't beleive the difference in sound quality.
I find the menu navigation to be pretty straight forward. I also love the fact that it has a seperate crossover adjustment available for front, rear, and sub. I cannot speak for durability as I've only had it hooked up for two days.
I'm loving it so far.

I've ordered from Sonic Electronix in the past and everything went great then. A good amount of time has passed, a new look to their website, but the same great service! The prices are unbeatable, the staff is knowledgable, and I would definately and have recommended them to others. Thank you!
