the cdx-c90 is the only h/u i would purchase from sony. only "problem" is that it doesn't have an internal amp, gotta use a separate 4-channel. Sony's new crap notoriously ***** my butt 12 times. if you listen to mp3's a lot, get an alpine or a kenwood.

I wouldn't own a sony if someone gave it to me. I have yet to hear one that didn't skip when the bass hits.

oh i'm sure that you'd take the cdx-c90 if you heard it. if you wouldn't, well then, i do declare you would have to be deaf. just take a quick gander at it

my first head unit was a sony mobile es head unit back about 5-6 years ago. this is when the c-90 was made also. the c 90 was no joke for real. but my ehad unit was awesome in my opinion. i think it was like the cdx-8050 something. anyway it was like 2nd to the c90. top notch mobile es. it had hxdsp, time a lignment, 3 sets of 4 volt preouts. non fading sub out, digital 7 position eq, dsp processor, i mean it had a **** load of features, i didnt even use em all. it had level controls for the front, rear, and the sub out, not just the sub out. there was only one thing that i hated about that thing and that was that the **** little tick marks they use for volume indication. i wish they used numbers. they had 10 tick marks and eveytime u turned the dial two clicks it would be 1 tick mark. but i only usually turned it up halfway and it would sound excellent. t he sq was excellent from it too. i never ran the internal amp, i never have ran an interrnal amp out of any head unit of mine. i always use clean amps to power my speakers. so i cant really say much abou thta. i loved it. it skipped soemtimes but only because my car rode lik hell and it shook the **** out of it. it wasnt mounted tight like i wanted it either. if anyone knows which head im talking about i tell you i loved it. it was one of the better sony's. some of my friends got teh other sony's and honestly i think they ****** ass. but they were lik entry level ones. though. they skippped all the time and the sq wasnt that great. but i thought i had a purty good one. now i got an alpine hehee! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Alpines mp3s load just as fast as normal cds.

That is because Alpine is the ****.

Heres my two cents: Flip a coin. Sony's last grasp at car audio is their HUs, but you can't go wrong with the pioneer.

It seems like you need to spend more money (for a Sony) to get good features/quality that other brands provide at a lower price.

I ordered my Clarion DXZ835mp yesterday. The 935 was too much for what seemed to be the same features except for the fancy face. We'll see how that sounds.

not all sony *****.. its just incosistent. one HU rocks, 3 of them break easily..then 20 are fine etc etc

sony decks ****. i used to have one installed in my car, i couldn't take the sound so i switched to alpine. for the price it costs, sony's aren't worth it. get pioneers or alpines.
