Problem with going to audio shops with equipment they dont sell it most of the time they jack the price up. You are better off most of the time saving the money an using it on a better deck. I have a clarion vz401 and I love it. Was well worth spending the little bit of extra money. It's pretty well bullet proof as its been in my car with 2 18s walled off on 7400 watts. 159.5db an it still works like a champ.
