This is a seriously amazing radio. It woke up the stock 6x8 speakers in my 2004 Ford Explorer. I had no idea the potential they had. Ok, now for my review.
This was my first ever radio install, and I’m very proud of myself for getting it right, and with the help and a lot of YouTube videos, and forum research before I even got it in the mail, I knew exactly what to expect, and the tip everyone gives about using 12 gauge wire, is right on, I got a 100 foot spool of it for $12 locally, and a box of the screw type butt connectors at Home Depot, because my soldering gun died a year ago and I never got around to buying a new one, but anyways, those conectors wrapped in electric tape will do the trick till I stop procrastinating on getting a new soldering gun.
Anyways, I wired the supplied power line with the fuse box through the firewall in my truck, which was easy, you can pass the wire through a rubber grommet just to the right of the “go fast” peddle, I think it’s spedo cable? I dunno, I was too excited to see what it was, I just used it instead of drilling a hole in my firewall or lazyly and stupidly going through the door and up the fender. (Bad idea, don’t be lazy)
OH, I also cut the fuse box off that power wire, so I could mount it under my hood about 5” from my battery, see, you want your fuse to be near the power source, otherwise you risk melting the entire line, all the down and under your dash. So my tip to anyone buying this radio, and planning my on wiring direct to the battery(which is the proper way) is CUT that wire, and mount it as near to the battery as you can get, i actually mounted mine right on top the battery, held in place with 3M Velcro tabs.
Now I’m rambling.. anyways, the sound ROCKS, i devirginized my new MEX-XB100BT with a good pounding of PANTERA - COWBOYS FROM HELL. And after I set the EQ to the Rock setting, I was completely blown away, and so impressed I was giggling like a 10 year old girl on Christmas morning.
Then I played METALLICA-FOR WHOM THE BELLS TOLL, my brain melted...
I can not wait, I mean can not wait, till I get me a new set of 6x8’s in my truck, I’m thinking about dropping in some Rockford Fosgate’s, I just haven’t made up my mind, either those or save up for these Infinity Kapa speakers I keep reading about, I dunno, I’m not a car audio guy at all, I’m more a “make it go fast” guy, but I can see how guys get sucked into this big sound system stuff now.
Oh, I also wanna try my hand st putting in another amp as maybe a little 10” sub.
All in all, I am super pleased with this radio, and by the people who sold it, shipping was fast, like 2 day I think it was, and the radio was very safely packaged, by hand, by a dude named JP. Thank you JP. 😉😘😁

More on this sony. I did try the internal amp and it does very good. Much better then any other deck witch is to be expected with a 40watt RMS rating. Now don't expect a giant gain because it is only double the wattage as the others witch mathematically is only a gain of 3db. Defiantly a gain with a bit more bass but nothing massive unless you came from a pioneer HA or maybe one of them very cheapy ones such as boss. Good quality aftermarket speakers is a must to really hear the difference tho. Comparing with OEMs is a waist. It does seem the volume on this Sony is layed back and maybe for a reason. It will play pretty clear right to max volume with good speakers while most others distort before this point. Maybe a way of keeping the ignorant from burning stuff up by running the volume past clean signal? Ether way that is not a bad thing just a difference. If you think that is bad you don't know much about audio. If you are going to use the internal amp make sure to run larger power and ground wires!!!! It is best to go at least one size larger then recommended. Never skimp on giving amps there power and ground! With all that said very happy and if something changes with my thinking here i will come back and add to my review!
One more thing. This head unit can be set to show the clock all the time! Unlike the kenwoods and pioneers i have tried or even alpine unless you get into there fancier displays.
I currently have 2x 6.5 and 2x 6x9 speakers (JBL and Kicker respectively). They have been running off a measly 10 watt x 4 channel head unit (Pioneer DEH-150MP), until I got this beast. Not only is it powerful enough to make it seem like my 2x 6x9's is an 8 inch subwoofer (which you can use if you dedicate 2 rear channels towards powering and 8 inch sub), but installation was relatively easy and every last feature is here!
Some highlights:
---Installation was a breeze. Though the power and ground wires are not included, I went to my local hardware store and purchased 2x 8 feet copper wire for about 6 dollars (10 guage, the manual specifies anything less than 14 guage).
---Sound is amazing. Plenty of audio settings to tune to your own preference. I have my settings geared towards bass enhancement (with the mega bass setting on, and 10 band EQ boosting low band frequencies)
---Functionality is everything I could ever wish for; Bluetooth, NFC, Aux, USB, and a bunch of radio services I will most likely not use because of my giant music library (but are still nice to have).
---Looks are pretty great. Though it is a very prominent display with the RGB lights, I think it looks beautiful and stunning
If you are like me, and want a middle-ground between price/effort and powerful sound, then this stereo is still worth double the price!

Pity no remote control though for the price.
All in all, great wee investment and my wee system wouldn't be possible without this!!!
Confermo anche il giudizio di migliore autoradio sul mercato attualmente per qualità del suono, funzionamento del bluetooth ottimo, gestione del menù intuitiva e semplice.
Complimenti alla SONY per questa autoradio di prima fascia che personalmente credo superi per la prima volta come qualità marchi sicuramente più blasonati come ALPINE e PIONEER.
Solo due consigli per chi la volesse acquistare:
1) registrate il prodotto sul sito sony e controllate se non è da aggiornare il FIRMWARE poichè se non è aggiornato rischia di impallarsi e non accendersi (esperienza personale)
2) quando ascoltate la musica e l'autoradio rimane inutilizzata, inizia da sola a fare un focus su tutte le funzioni cambiando ripetutamente scritte e colori del display. Per evitare il tutto entrate nel menù, sotto la voce display (premete la manopola) cercate tra le varie opzioni quella con scritto DEMO e selezionate OFF così eviterà di fare tutti i fronzoli delle funzioni se rimane inutilizzata per un pò di minuti.
In conclusione ripeto, complimenti a SONY per questo prodotto top di gamma e sicuramente per chi vorrà un audio perfetto e di qualità ne consiglio vivamente l'acquisto.
