Well I had two of them, the first one broke (idiot gf PUSHED the CD door in breaking the motor on it). I paid $350 for the first one through a special deal my job had with Sony, but on the 2nd one I paid full price for it ($1000). With this head unit there is no internal amp so you have to buy one so add another $500 to that cost, installation for it was close to $300 (they had to install the new amp and had to move the old amp around to make it fit) because the HU is a little too deep for my dash so they did some fancy work with that.
All in all the sound quality is GREAT, haven't really had a person step in my car that didn't say it sounded really good. The only other thing that I need to do is get some Dynamat because from outside the car it sounds terrible from the bass.
Here's a few more pics of it:
