    Great value

    The following review is for UTE-73BT, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

    I would definitely recommend this unit because gas so many great features such as complete control over your speakers especially if you have a subwoofer or 10 lol really easy to connect to Bluetooth and its sharp looking. The only complaint I would have is that it's only 2 volts? I recommend at least 4 volts for a bass system that's all besides that this is a steal!

    Alpine UTE-73BT

    The following review is for UTE-73BT, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

    This was ordered to replace another brand that had quit working. The unit works well & was easy to install. Sonic was exceptional on covering the warranty from the old unit. Travis, whom I worked with was very helpful thru the process. I will definitely be buying for Sonic again in the future.
