solid unit

this is a nice deck for the price, I like that the display color can be changed and the color for the buttons is also customizable. great sound quality and the crossover options are handy. I had a lot of trouble figuring out why there was no sound coming from the rear and subwoofer outputs while using BT audio but after a few hours I came across a setting in the phone Bluetooth settings I don't remember the name of it now. all in all this deck works great and looks good too
