Great deck, especially for the money
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to access controls, 22w RMS
Cons: Doesn't play mp3 cds, getting the faceplate back on can be"fumbly"
Review:
This deck was given to me by my sister's boyfriend when my old stereo was stolen and I must say, if I hadn't been given this deck I probably would never have considered it later on.
It looks pretty basic, nothing overly fancy about it, but I've only recently learned just how good this deck can be.
When I first installed the deck in my 1986 Jetta, I had only 4 bad speakers and the deck, and I figured the deck was the reason I wasn't getting the output I wanted. One year later and lots of reading into car audio it's 22w RMS (6w more than a fancy $400 alpine deck I nearly bought) nicely powers my Alpine Type-R 5.25" components up front and JVC 5.25" coaxials in the rear. It's easy to access the controls, the remote works well inside the car, and once you've got everything set up how you like it it's a great deck.
