Sony CDX Series

Get all the features you need at a great price point. Have full control over the music you listen to with the on board low-pass and high-pass filters. The 7-band equalizer allows you to adjust specific frequencies to cutoff sounds your speakers cannot handle. The set of 2 volt RCA outputs are perfect for adding in amplifiers to your system with ease. The Sony Quick-BrowZer makes it a breeze to find the songs you are looking for by allowing you to search with the rotary dial as opposed to single button selections. Look no further, the Sony CDX-GT40U is a staple for head-unit's, and this head-unit really packs a punch that you will enjoy.

I recommend this deck for people that are just looking to replace their OEM/factory stereo for a decent price. Has the basic features you need, USB,AUX,CD/Mp3,Remote, Etc. I just installed mine yesterday and it changed the sound in my car dramatically, taking note that my factory stereo was garbage to begin with lol. Sonic Electronix, thanks for the speedy delivery to Canada!

I have always been a pioneer person and from the way the old school Sonys always worked i would have never bought one just from their past. I recived this one as a christmas present and wow im sold on Xplods. Never again will i pay Pioneer price, this CD player is awsome and sounds great and puts out way more sound than any pioneer out there and sounds better too. Don't think twice about this one buy it you won't regret it.

Customer Testimonial

After searching all over Australia and Ebay for the cheapest prices on amplifiers and capacitors, I ended up at Sonic Electronix and found spectacular prices on these items. Even with shipping costing over $100 to Australia, I saved a couple hundred dollars by shopping on this website. Great Website
