Best deck ever!

This deck has everything I need. Great sound, 4 volt sub out and you can fine tune your system to sound perfect, remote control is a must as well. Really easy to install. Unbeatable price. Best deck ever!

Excellent

this head unit has probably one of the best soundstages i think i've ever heard. it's loud and powerful. and the sound is excellent. read cds and all that other cool stuff. looks awesome. highly recommended, only if u are not planning on using the sony ipod controller with. the sony ipod controller sucks. it takes ten years to search for an artist. the only pratical way for the ipod hook up is if u plan on using only playlists. but besides that. with cds and radio. this headunit is incredible. especially for the price. but it does take a little bit to figure out all the features. ipod. and loaded mp3 disc wise.

This one is worth every dime! Baby!

I bought one online last December 07 but just hooked up along with a decent P325.1 mono Amp from Rockford fosgate and 33 L x 15 W x 20 H ported enclosure with 12" Alpine subs. Geez! believe it or yeah! Believe it! (Not, is not an option) This one rocks and will kick all the other deck brands of its class and price big time. The USB port is the biggest catch. I tested it with a 1 GB stick and man, it pumped up the roof with 40 continuous pounding non-stop. I made the best choice but buying this online though because in Canada, particularly in Vancouver, this one is not even available yet.

Great Product!!!

The following review is for a previous version (CDX-GT805DX).

I bought this last winter. It is the best cd player I've ever owned. The 4 volt preamp outputs are prime for hooking up a big system and getting the most power out of it. Also, the high and low pass filters make the music more clear than ever. I can filter all the bass out of my speakers to get crystal clear music and leave the bass to the subwoofers. I owned it before I had subs too and it made even the speakers sound great like I already had subs. Great unit for a great price, I bought it when it was 200 and it was still well worth the money. Recommended buy for anybody and easy to use.
