for somebody to say that sony sucks just doesnt make sense.some of the newer stuff isnt special but the mobile ES units from not so long ago were top notch and pioneering.sony can be credited with mainstreaming things like sub outputs,cd players in cars,mp3 capability,front inputs,S/N ratios over 100,remotes,multi colored displays,mobile video and may more things.so before you slam a very well engineered product.....do your homework!
on to jensen and pyle...jensen held the first car audio competition and paved the way for all other companys and their stuff fits well in a certin kind of market.
pyle took up where jensen left off.back in the day believe it or not PYLE was on top of the SPL scene!
