I'll tell you what, I just bought a Sony radio, not any stupid cheapo X-Plode radio, but a nice one that's worth $330 (screw gettin HU's that are $700 or some $#it like that, u dont need to spend so much money for quality, that's where named brands get you really), and it sounds hella good. I dont care if it craps out, because i bought the 4 year plan, that covers it if it craps out. If it craps out, i'll just go and get a different one for no extra charge. What's the matter w. sony? I've really heard alot of negative comments about Sony, but my dad and my sister have sony HU's in their cars, and i think they're great! And besides, it's not like Sony hasn't made a name for themselves. That's why everyone's heard about them. I just want to know why alot of people rank on sony (obviously their speakers are crap, but i already know that from experience.) our guys at the car audio section recommended it to me, and ive had no problems so far! thanx.
