Summary:
This unit is hands down the best CD receiver I have ever used. Rockford continues their legacy for making high quality products with this unit! It outperforms all of the Alpine, Clarion, and Sony head units with ease.

Strengths:
Very easy to control. You can adjust everything with the turn of one knob. Many, many options for controling accessories - 2 A/V (Yes, video) and 4 outputs for external amps. Plus a connector for a CD changer or MP3 changer.

Weaknesses:
None. This is a great unit.

Summary:
Great head unit. Good looks and tons of pre-outs. Kinda simple looking, but to me it is all about the sound. Needs more bass, but what can you expect from a head unit.

Strengths:
Good looks, A/V switcher, remote, full multi color face, 2 aux inputs, and good reception.

Weaknesses:
40x4 is a little on the weak side, but it does have a 25x4 rms that sounds very clear.
