[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1711549, member: 565696"] Man, you're lucky, it took me from january 14th till the beginning of february to get my xxv-01d, and 3 or 4 week to get my type-x's from them. It sucks so bad to have EVERYTHING ready to be put in the car, and not be able to make an appointment for installation because you don't know how long it's gonna take to get your stuff...... aggrevating. And after all that, the xxv-02a i got from them was broken out of the box, and with all the threads about horror stories trying to get thing replaced or fixed by them, i shelled out the $140 to have the **** thing fixed at a local repair shop. As for the headunit you're after, it's a great unit. I've got the xxv-01d, which is the exact same unit with different DAC's and of course '25th anniversary' stamped on it. It's an amazing deck. Not quite as many functions as the 2003 excellons (pro-logic was PIMP! on the 979, and the flip down controls were awesome, too) but it's def. a solid deck, and it seems like all manufacturers are putting less features on their US market units, since most people are happy with their $100 heads from BB or CC. Overall the only complaint i have with the unit is the extreme-scratchability of the plastic they use on these new units. It's made to be extremely shiny, and looks great, but i consider myself to be more careful than most with their toys, i've never cleaned it, and only put it in the included faceplate case, but in direct sunlight, i can already see little hairline scratches all over the face. They need to use a less scratchable plastic, IMO. [/QUOTE]
