Feature-packed, but not user friendly.

Pros: Time delay, highly adjustable crossover, GlideTouch, easy-to-read screen, 7 band Eq
Cons: User friendliness, file navigation, pre-out voltage, lack of back-up battery
The Bottom Line: This unit has plenty of features, but novices should purchase something more user friendly. Users should try out the GlideTouch function before purchasing.

Best Purchase Yet!

(5.00 out of 5) by dantheman85x on May 10, 2006

Pros: Great sound, EQ, Crossover, Cool Display, Satellite ready, iPod-ready, plays MP3 discs
Cons: Takes a couple days to figure out, midday sun may make display hard to see
The Bottom Line: If you don't make the effort to figure out this head unit, you won't get the results, kind of like life. I highly recommend this deck.
