JVC Arsenal kd-a305

Bought this headunit about 6 months ago, i must say i love it. The headunit has great power to power my 2000watt amp and my 2 12s. The colors to pick from is def one of the best things about this headunit. Everyone that gets in my car always asks about it, and the color condemnations are almost endless. I have my headunit on the demo mode which switches through the colors by its self. The only thing I do not like about this headunit is there is not any preset buttons on the headunit to set radio stations. You can save stations and scroll through them buts its tough to do. Besides that i recommend it to all. My friend just got one too lol.

Great Value, Great Features

I purchased 2 of these CD players. Liked the features of the different display color, auxillary input and XM radio ready. Have used both for 6 months and have had no trouble with either unit. When purchased they came with the install kit and wiring harness. You just can't beat a deal like that.

The customer service was great and the product arrived sooner then projected, with the help of the rep, the attachments he recommended made it a snap to install. The product adapted well and sounds and preforms outstanding!

I would strongly recommend this company and the product
