I've found JVC to have above average features for the money, below average sound quality, and far below average reliability and build quality. Their Digifine systems seem to be a huge exception. I've got nothing but good things to say about their digifine decks, but the rest fail to impress me.
I have some first-hand experience with JVC...................Mine started on fire....
.......
My friend had the "exact" same problem.......
It was the later models.....not the new ones...but i'll never buy one again

ive had many decks in the 6 years ive had cars...
ive had sony (YUCK DONT EVER BUY THE BLUE FACED ONE...PAIN IN YOUR REAR END) then i bought a jvc...not bad for the money but not as good as the king!!!
:hail: to ALPINE!!! they have the greatest decks out there in my opinion....i cant wait til i get my cd/dvd player in a couple of months....ill be watching movies as im driving...well maybe not..
but as for the other name....kenwood!! *BOOO to you too**
and pioneer is half decent but WAY to over priced..just me though

I have the sh99, the earlier model basically the same thing, I like it alot. The only hard thing is sorting throught the songs when u have a cd with 200 songs
I had a jvc I had a kd-sx950 I think, and it was pretty good I thought it sounded nice until I just got my new cda-7873 alpine :hail: for 75$ new in the box!!! And it sounds way way better. My last alpine was the same way. Alpine rules.

Get a new digifine deck if you do go with JVC .. I got the KD-SH707 off ebay for $235 ... awesome deck, no complaints ... 20 rms x4 and 3 preamp outs ... even plays mp3's on a cd-RW!!! Very nice aluminum face too
