JVC KD-SR87BT Bluetooth CD Car Stereo with USB Port – AM/FM Radio, MP3 Player, High Contrast LCD, Detachable Face Plate – Single DIN – 13-Band EQ

As I have owned nothing but Alpine since 1984 this was a interesting purchase. If you like setting the bass and treble for nearly every song, you are going to hate this receiver... But here is the good. The volume is like a modern car stereo so you don't blow speakers easily, it doesn't have a filter like some, but limits it to a tolerable distortion level at max volume. Its sound quality is poor at low volume, like when talking to someone, but from 1/4 to 3/4 it absolutely has outstanding clarity and quality for when you are driving. It gets a little fluttery when pushing it hard, but definitely does a decent job. Yes a Alpine will beat it for sound quality at max volume, but do you listen to everything at max? Its loud, clean, and with a handful of bass frequencies and treble adjustments it sounds just as good as any Alpine. It just doesn't at low and max volume. I would buy again for the price, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent quality head unit at a cheap price.

The JVC radio was an easy install. I put this in my 1999 996 Porsche. I tried other radios but none of them worked. The setup was next to impossible on the other radios. The JVC was simple and I can still go back in the system and adjust the sound, treble, Bass, and each speaker separately. I bought 2 up front and the second one is going in my Rat Rod!

installed it in my travel trailer airstream it worked real well easy to install

Previously bought a stereo for my truck. However, it did not show the time unless you pushed on the clock button. Even then, it would only show for a short time. So bought this one since it shows the time when it's powered up. Reading the reviews, the main complaint was that folks kept losing the station and time when they turned the vehicle off with the stereo on. One person commented that shutting the stereo off before the vehicle, it saved the memory when you restarted. I have done that and no issues. One knock it the owner's manual is in such fine print. I had to get a magnifying glass to read things. Also, the buttons are small and don't line up with all the lighting, so I end up pushing in the wrong place at times. Still a good stereo for the money.

Super solid!! Easy to setup

Love how it fit

Definitely recommend this radio hass all the features you need and more

This unit is worthless if you are hooking up to an external amp or crossover. It will not let you bypass the crossover or speaker configuration. You are forced to use the units crossover network even when selecting through for the frequency range. If you hook up to the rca outputs only it gives you 3 speaker configurations all going to the subwoofer or rear speakers if you have any. I might have been able to use the speaker line outputs with a line converter but it's really not worth it. I started my return and am going to buy a different head unit.I've been installing car audio for over 35 years. I've built multi-amp systems with crossovers and dsp-s. I've built subwoofer enclosures and 3 way component speaker setups from scratch. Believe me when i say this unit is junk if you hooking it up to external equipment. Sometimes thing are over engineered to the point where they become worthless. This is one of those items. A head unit can't control everything which This one is trying to do. There's a reason external amps, crossovers, dsps and eq's are made.
