JVC KD-SH1000

I Love It!!!

I love this head unit! I've had it installed in my '07 Tacoma for a couple of months and am very happy with it.

The controls are intuitive and easy to use. The volume/data knob has a rubber surround for easy gripping and is large enough to actually grip it, as opposed to some manufacturers' knobs where you have to use the tip of your finger on the surface of the knob. It may seem like a trivial feature to add to a review, unless of course you've ever had the frustration of trying to adjust your stereo with your fingertip and hit a bump in the road.

The built in features of this deck are fabulous. Time alignment, 3 way crossover with adjustable slopes, parametric EQ, mp3, wma, USB, SD card, song title display, 2 aux inputs, 3 X 5V line out with adjustable sub, etc...

I put my absolute favorite songs on an SD card and that stays in all the time. I have CDs full of mp3 and wma files that I carry with me. I also have a jump drive that I can add/delete current songs. I have so many options for listening to the music that I love I haven't even used the FM tuner.

How's it sound? Beautiful! I have the Front and Rear outputs going to a classic (old) Orion Cobalt 430 amp and into a set of new (from SonicElectronix, of course) JL Audio TR650CSi components (6.5" mids, .5" tweets). The sub out goes into a classic (old) Pioneer 760W amp and into a classic (ancient, 15+ years old) Orion eXtreme 10" sub in a ported box. On an RTA the response is pretty flat. The adjustable sub out makes it nice for songs that have too much or too little bass.

To summarize;
Pros - tons of features. Reasonable price (Thanks SonicElectronix!!)
Cons - only one. My dash is at an angle so it is hard to fit my fat finger into the small space to remove the faceplate (which I do EVERY TIME I leave my vehicle).

I would certainly recommend this product to anyone.

this deck freakin great

this deck rocks it has some great dsp options. and the display is great it has some ba visualizations.
the only feature that is missing is pause button and if there is one i cant find it. but who cares that will be the least of your worries.
it has 4 different angles that it can be at so u can see it. i have a ford escort and because of the angles there is no glare.

do yourself a huge favor and get this deck u wont be dissapointed
