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

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

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.
