this deck looks amazing! I wasnt even gonna buy it but I picked it up pretty cheap(for in canada)and it has turned out to be great! The power is great(improved the stock speakers), the pre-outs are really good too!
It doesnt compare to stock and compared to some of the alpine units I have used and seen it is better.

 Panasonic CQ-DFX700

Strengths:
Awesome looks at night, improved my sound quality even on stock speakers. Great Pre-amp outs, especially the Sub out with adjustable crossover and volume. 3-DSB is nice too. Like the remote

Weaknesses:
Kinda hard to see in direct sunlight.

Summary:
I actually have the DFX700 and not the DF600U but they were pretty close. Originally i was goign to get the 600 but i found the 700 for not much more and i decided it was worth it moving up. I'm glad i did. The 700 has better Pre-outs among other small differrences. Excellenet HU, i can't think of a better on for the money i paid. Great to start with and great for expanding with the 3 5V preouts and the compatibility with a Panasonic Disk Changer. Great controls and CD Titling is great too. It is kind of hard to see in direct sunlight but look at it once at night and you'll forget all about that. It's SQ is through the roof compared to stock and to most other decks for this price. I got a good deal, tho. But look on eBay, there are lots of good deals there. Would highly reccommend this HU

1000x better than stock or the cheap Kenwood tape deck i had in there

Price Paid:  $206.00

Strengths:
Cool awesome colors, all my friends are impressed w/ the night display. Sound is so much better compared to the Accord stock tape reciever.

Weaknesses:
It gets a little hot, but I dont know if that's normal, it gets pretty hot in LA, especially in the car.

Summary:
Great reciever, way better than the stock reciever, even though I'm still using the stock speakers. Need to get better speakers to get the full benefit of the system. Wish the remote was mountable on the steering wheel like the Aiwa, the remote is kind of useless espically since you have to point it at the reciever.
