Sony needs to get rid of all their garbage models and start making decks like this! This deck is so beautiful. The quality, fit and finish is top notch. Everything feels really solid and it's built like a tank. There's nothing cheap about this deck. After owning several Pioneer Premier, Kenwood Excelon and Clarion Pro headunits, I thought I was going to regret buying a Sony Xplod after all the negative things I've heard about them. But I have no regrets with my decision. My CD's sound even better than before with DSO and BBE MP. Not bad Sony...

 

wow, that looks nice

my friend has an explod that suprisingly sounds good and has 3 sets out outs

id rock thids one but i find it HARD when a sexy alpine is in the store lifting up her skirt saying touch me touch me!

alpine h/us look more mature than this sony or the pioneers that look like it, bah

 

What sony should really start making again is the CDX-C90 or something that is an equilavent. No more of the implod.... i mean xplod garbage. Get back to the really decks.

 

wait till it "Xplod"s in your face... i LOVE sony, but i hate them when it comes to mobile electronics.

i DO NOT think this h/u will explode in his face, like every other manufacturer they have top of the line models, this is explods top of the line h/u i would fuxk it

 

The CDX-C90 isn't a sony xplod deck. It was the mobile es series that they had before the xplod ****. It is a true audiophile deck that is second only to the denon deck.

Well, I'm not building my car for SQ or anything. What more do I need from an HU? I just want a nice looking deck with basic controls. As long as I can control the treble and bass, I'm a happy camper. I don't see or hear any difference between this deck and the Pioneer's or Clarion's I've owned before.

You have to see the LCD screen on this deck. It's awesome.

 

Nice looking HU... makes me want to get another sony.. but i think i have learned my lesson, from my previous 3 sony HUs im scared to buy it and find something wrong.

 

What was wrong with your other decks?

 

Little things i guess bug me with the sony stuff ive had.. such as.. slow access speed on the changer.. disk plays in hu but not changer or not in hu but in changer..burned cds wont play if theres like lil tiny scratch.

I don't have a changer, so I can't comment on that. But one thing I can tell you is that it plays my badly scratched CD's back from the highschool days (4 years ago) just fine. The only thing that bothers me about this deck so far is that I've noticed the volume on the CD and radio is a little off.

 

What do you meen the volume is different??? I just bought this deck and it is coming on FRIDAY yah! Can you give a really detailed review on it all the good things like Sound quality features and all the negatives. Thanks a bunch.

 

I dont like the deck face.

 

looks nice
thats true sony hasnt put anything good out lately

That picture actually makes the deck look cheap. It looks MUCH nicer and classier in person.

Well, it may just be my mp3 cd's, but the volume is different from the radio and CD. When I switch from CD to radio, I have to increase the volume quite a bit and I do the opposite when switching from radio to CD.

As for the review, it's a really solid deck. Don't expect it to have as many features and options as a high-end Alpine or Pioneer, but it gets the job done while looking incredibly sexy. I have no other complaint so far other than the volume being a little different. But like I mentioned, it may just be my mp3 CD. I'm too lazy to get a regular CD to test it out. It also comes with a ton of videos and images from factory to set as your background. Some of them are pretty sick. Everytime someone rides in my car, they're just staring at my deck.

I have all aftermarket speakers and amps, so the sound will vary depending on your setup. I really like the DSO option though because I've always thought the speakers in my R were kinda low. It raises the image and creates a more ambient sound.

all sony deck does that and many other brand deck does too. It's switching from Digital sound to radio which is crap sound.

Yeah, but the difference is too significant IMO. Sometimes I have the radio blasting, then when I switch to CD, I forget that the volume is much higher on the CD, so one time it literally blew the windows out because it was so loud.

 

Thanks for the info rowdy.

 

i jsut checked out the SONy CDXM9900 that goes for about 650, and man that **** is of the hook. Its got a AUX input with video playback, whats that mean?well u can have a dvd player and hook it up and watch it on the sony screen....U might think its small but i was watching DRIVEN and man its was tight
