Great headunit... time alignment feature is great for people doing sound quality... the fully adjustable eq built in makes dialing in frequencys very good and easy, high volt pre outs drive those amplifiers real well, warm feel to the music vs lower pioneer decks... very great product... did research and heard alot of good stuff about it and i do agree that it is 1 of the best head units ive ever used for competition... tons better than any alpine, eclipse, or kenwood I have ever seen and used...
If you think you have had a great car stereo, wait till you own this unit. I have had JVC, Clairion, Alpine, Sony,Blaupunkt, and Kenwood. This is the one that I would love to get again, unfortunatly they don't make them any longer. All in one package deal. This unit makes my factory speakers sound like subwoofer and the highs were soooo bright that my tweeters could not handle and distort. After I upgrade to aftermarket speakers, WOW! I am in music land.
This is a very good cd player, I use it as an active crossover for separate Sub/Mid/Treble. The posibility to adjust these as you like and find the best cossover frequensie is very good and makes it much easier to create good sound. And to top it of it has auto time aligment and auto eq for both sides(this raise the top end of the left woofer wich is lower becouse of increased angle, i have the wofers mounted in the door) And make the frequensie respons smoth and right This makes good sound in the car much easier.

I personally have not had the misfortune of any PICO issues with, but I see that several have, so, as mine have been worry free and sounds incredible, 16 band L/R eq, time alignment, 3way active system, mp3, wma, wav, aac, works great, sounds great, priced right, pick one up and enjoy full customization of your sound and exceptional SQ.
I love this radio because of the 16 band eq it is a very great radio for the price that I bought it for was excellent the only thing I dont like about the radio is that is does not have a mute button on the radio.
