Customer Testimonial

I loved Sonic Electronix products so much that I mistakenly committed an exhausting order. After I have realized, I went to modify my order. Brian from Sonic replied to me quickly & helped me organize what I needed. I'm very pleased to see such great attitude & will be ordering here again!

I bought this for my 2003 Rinker, took out old Kenwood and my new one plugged right into old plug. Great sound from CD player, USB port. But when I plug in my xm radio line into front auxiliary input the sound is cut in half and have to turn volume almost to highest level to be able to listen to the music. Other than that, it looks great and I am very happy with purchase.
