Lots of nice things for a deck in this price range. It takes some getting used to the volume joystick. One of them decks you need the book on. Im afraid this will be a problem later but the remote may help some. Seems to take a moment to process changes made so its harder to compare finer settings.
the only complaint is that when you hook up 6 rca's to the back its a tight fit since its a recessed plugs and 90's wont work on the deck, i'm an inch from getting the deck where it's supposed to be.

Brendon was extremely helpful and patient when helping me with this HU. I told him that i didnt need one with SAT radio or Bluetooth and i was mosly focused on SQ. After nearly 45 mins of talking, answering questions and comparing products He recommended the X-595. I installed it yesterday and i am very impressed it with. I know some people on other websites say that its very difficult to operate, but honestly it was easy for me and once i tuned my system i never touched it again. I really like the iPod connect feature with this HU, The knob is like the scroll wheel and you press the search button and you can scroll through the menus as if you were using an iPod. I also like the various color choices, i picked a color that matched my oem gauges and AC control color. Its a really top notch HU, with that being said i have 6 cadence FX6M8 midrange drivers hooked up to a Kenwood 7205 and it was playing through a Clarion CZ309 which had 2 volt Pre-amp RCA outputs, and when i installed this X595 which has 4 volt Pre-amp RCA outputs, this HU made my 6 Cadence FX6M8 midrange drivers sound like night and day.

I went with this unit to accommodate my flash drive and wanted an easy way to browse through my folders. Its browsing feature (with the remote) is the quickest and easiest that I've encountered. Matched with the 3-line display and a 110 signal to noise ratio, this unit will never be the weak point in your system!

So far so good sleek design, Pretty Heavy, and also i swear this has the smallest remote in the world for car stereos i mean my middle finger is longer then the remote other than that the rest of the radio is sick.
Pros: Sleek Design, Good Cost, All the accessories you'll need.
Cons: Looks way too fragile! Looks Complicated to work with but I'll learn quick.
