Clarion VX409
$600.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Strong power output, can turn out good sound even with OEM speakers. Physically feels well made, interface components feel solid and mechanical flip face works smoothly. Flexible EQ setup, can offer detailed adjustment or general controls.
The Cons:Browsing iPods is difficult and awkward, have to click a button to move down though each individual track. Screen resolution is low, fonts look jagged. Dimmer doesn't always work, stays very bright even at night, lighting up the inside of the vehicle.
