Nice head unit. I have the exact same one! It's great that it plays MP3s! I've got 3 CDs in my car, but I've got hundreds of songs on them!

Sorry... off topic

That is weird. Maybe it was rattling and the owner decided to get rid of the rattle by removing the offending part of the dash LOL.

nah the dash at the bottom is something that i need to fix, the owner before got his soundsystem put in by tonkins, then he decided he would take the cd player out, and didnt have a clue what he was doing. he thought that it would be held in with clips and he didnt see the screws at the top (he was 35 and seemed smart, i guess not) so he kept pulling and it broke. i just havnt got around to fixing it.

well i listened to damo and thought that it could use a few more, i understand that some of you fit turbos and superchargers to your cars but i really think this is the best bang for your buck. so what do you think.
