The cheaper ones are just that, but OK still. They look a little cheesey but operate better than the low end Pioneers as far as Im concerned.

Gotcha...luckily this is one of their 2011 models which all have 24 bit DAC...It falls in there mid range level head units 4th in price point...the only difference between the 620 which cost a bit more than the 520 is the selectable colors, and steering wheel control. Didn't need either of those options

Interesting that you say that cause when I look at the specs on the one I got and the ones above it there weren't many major differences...for example the 820BT which is the highest at 220 only includes the Blue tooth and has a different 24bit Dac while I was able to buy the 520 and get the adapter for 143. Makes you think about what all the extra money is for.

I honestly thought about Sony and Pioneer...Alpine and kenwood never crossed my mind for whatever reason. Any bad experience with JVC? Now first you should know that I had a Dual head unit in my car and I can hear Ryan cussing me out now...but I like it and it did the what I needed it to do aside from not having a dimmer for those bright ass lights, and the fact that the ribbon cable from the control head to the receiver was complete bull shit meaning after about 2yrs the buttons and everything stopped working.
