my pioneer deck blew and it doesnt put sound out of the speaker wires. my options are buy a another amp and power my speakers off them or buy a new deck. so i was in A&B sound today and i saw this deck i was just wondering if it was any good cause i've never heard of it before. I'm just looking for a pretty cheap deck that is'nt a piece of garbage.

I personally cannot stand the SQ of AIWA decks. Even their high priced ones don't sound all that great IMHO.

 

It's ugly as hell, but as long as the price was right I'd jump on it.

 

its $150.00 canadian
it looks good once it is turned on. that picture makes it look crappy

 

Go with the new amp youll always get a better sound out of an actual amp anyways.

 

i'll just get a really cheap amp to power my speakers then. i dont really want to spend lots of money .
so i'll just get this to power my speakers hahaha.

exactly what i was thinking

 

right now i'm running my speakers off an mtx amp and it sounds like ****. it sounds horrible off the amp cause there stock speakers in the front and 5 1/4 inch in the rear but it sounds liek crap. if i dont get a new amp for my birthday i'll buy a new deck

 

Aiwa's are decent but aren't the best brand in its category.

 

In my experience, I'd say "No". I used to sell them when I worked for Circuit City and those decks would have problems with skipping a lot. Although they do look good for the price, you'd be better off purchasing a lower-end pioneer or even JVC.
