Dual XC4100 In Dash AM/FM/Cassette Receiver

This is about as high tech as you can get when it comes to car stereos.
The only thing wrong that i noticed was that the slot for the cds was too small and i could not fit a cd inside. Also the navigation part was a little tricky to use. I guess I’ll have to read the directions a little bit to familiarize myself with this product.

so i bought this product for my father’s 77 chevy truck, it fit perfectly and the sound quality is excellent, his is very happy, i do wish it had a way to program radio stations, but in it’s defense, it does have an audio jack on the front which is very handy for mp3 players or just more speakers

Nice looking product. Easy to use. Vrey good price. Easy to install. Nothing better for a few dollars.

My breakdown of things:
Audio quality: As others have noted here, the sound quality on this is better than what you’d expect for a unit this low-priced. I found the high-end to be slightly soft, but nothing too bad. The bass response is pretty good. The audio-in jack on the front of the unit is the main reason I bought this, as I don’t bother with CD’s anymore, and just wanted something simple & cheap that I could plug my smartphone/mp3 player into…thankfully this is where the best fidelity of the unit lies. The FM radio frequency response is weaker in the treble department than the input, but it doesn’t bother me much….radio isn’t really worth bothering with where I live anyway, other than public radio/college stations.
Power output: Not bad for the price. Don’t expect it to compete with power amplifiers, but to put it simply, I’ve still never needed to turn the thing all the way up, even for freeway driving.
Tuner: A bit weak here, though it hasn’t bothered me enough to care. I haven’t listened to the radio enough enough to say if it has lost stations around town or not, but I can say that the visual mechanical tuner display is rather small, and with a lot of tuner travel per turn.
Ease of use, features, and connectors: This thing is stupid-simple to use. When adjusting things while driving, you don’t even need to look at it. 2 potentiometers – One for volume, the other a split-shaft for tuning/balance control w/center detent. An AM/FM button. A 3.5mm audio-in jack for mp3 players and the like. A bass boost button (which I actually like, because it is subtle and DOESN’T overdo the boost). Cassette player with an eject/FF button.
This thing couldn’t be simpler to hook up; a wire each for: power, ground, remote turn-on. A female antenna connector. Wires for 2 speakers. RCA jack connectors should you wish to use to a power amp.
Wishes: simply that this unit had a 12.5khz treble control/boost button.
Overall, this is a great deal for the money. I can’t say anything about long-term quality, as I only bought it a few weeks ago, but so far I’ve been quite happy with it, and would recommend it to anyone else looking for a decent low-priced car stereo. As others have mentioned, it’s an added bonus knowing that nobody other than a complete moron would attempt to smash & grab a $29 cassette car stereo.

This product came in good time and it is what I thought it was going to be. It does the job and I cant really tell yet if the sound quality is good because I have yet to get new speakers in my car, which I need.
