Sound quality is great in my car. Better than most other units I've heard. But I did have 2 Sony's previous to this one (crap) and a Kenwood that played MP3's as well (decent). This one takes the cake though.
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:

It's a chrome face. I bought that HU because I wanted a unit that plays MP3's and I liked the fact that it has a full color TFT display. I also like that it has an AUX input for audio so when I add my TV and PS2 I can hear sound through the unit itself. ANd thatn of course there's the pimp factor in it.
oh okay, now i get it *slappin forehead*, where is that aux input? in the back? i still don't understand why people need PS2 while they're driving :dunno:
bacardi 151 is the shit, ever tried everclear?
