Great Value!

Recommend, this was easy to install the price was the best, I spend most times on dusty off road type travel and it plays great, only issue is the volume button is also a push button to change from radio to cd which happens to me every time I try to change the volume. Oh well

Start with a Pioneer

Great looking, easy to use, entry level HU.
It powers dashboard Infinity plates nicely on it's own. Paired with a SPL GRLA-1600, 7-band EQ, 10" Kicker comps & B-pillar plates, it sounds much better than other budget HU's.

I have a ten year old pioneer head unit that still works, so i keep buying them, this one didn't disappoint, it had all the features i needed and more, sonic delivered it in good condition in a timely manner.
