This unit is very nice and exactly what I'd expect from a conpany that I've run for the last 12 years for head units. However the website has it listed at a 4V out, but it's only 2.5V. Maybe Sonic will fix the specification sheet on the listing. The controls are very user friendly and easy to navigate the menus. The sound quality is also very good, but I'm running a Fosgate T400-4 to two sets of components. This deck is a very good choice for its price and I'd buy it again and recommend to friends.

This HD unit tunes stations in well. Sound is crisp. I have this unit pushing RF R165 6.5" door speakers and RF P1692 6x9" in the rear decklid. At 22w per channel the 6.5 sound great. The 6x9 sound good but can use more power to get the full potential. All in all great unit for the price. Would definitely recommend.

Very good radio. Does what it's supposed to. The HD radio works very well in areas where you can pick up HD signal. Only bad thing is that the display screen is hard to read when the sun is shining.
