not worth it

The display is already shorting out and it has problems reading the USB as well as this thing is not 320 watts. Pioneers and Kenwood are much better

Boss should improve their head units

I bought this head unit recently because the 80 X 4 watt output for the speakers. When I installed the radio I was disappointed for three reasons:

1. The volume ratio had to be put up to 80 to be able to hear a decent sound. 2. The lights on the radio makes it look like a rainbow instead of a radio. 3. Very limited equalizer adjustment.

Not recommended.
