Price Paid:  $420.00 from Al and Ed''s

Strengths:
60x4 is plenty of power to not use an amp but it is highly recommended. Great, sound, display, looks, etc.

Weaknesses:
Swing mechanism is useless unless reciever sits extremely low in car.

Summary:
Awesome reciever, no problems w/ the swing face however the swing is unecessary. Great power and amazing sound quality and clarity. Great alpine look and the silver and blue is much better than the lower models black and green. Have it hooked up to a clarion 4-channel running boston 6.5 rally compnents up front and boston 5.25 coaxials in the back and it sounds great.
