Power Acoustik RZ2-1300D 1300W Class D 2 Channel Amplifier

Despite trying three different aerials the radio reception is poor, in fact I can only receive 4 FM stations

Fit très bien dans ma voiture, son de qualité pour le prix et facile d'utilisation.

Update: Still love the unit, but I have discovered there is about a 10 second delay from when I shift into reverse until the camera turns on and the image comes up. Under normal routine conditions, by the time the image displays on the screen I am done reversing. It works it you shift into reverse, wait 10 seconds. and then start moving. Still give the product a mythical 6 rating. 1 month update: Still very happy with the unit. Now have installed a back up camera. Very very cool to see the unit come to life, flip up the screen, and display the scene behind the car when shifting into reverse. It was a bit of work to install the camera and run the cables to the head unit. It took a couple of hours, but well worth the effort. Only 1 minor problem. I have upgraded from Droid to IPhone 5 since I installed the unit.. The Bluetooth connection isn't quite as smooth as it was with the Droid. The Acoustik tries unsuccessfully to download the IPhone phone book. It take the unit about a minute to go through its routine before it gives up. There might be a slight compatibility issue between the Acoustik and IPhone 5 (which is also very very cool). However, the Acoustik also works very well as the hand free speaker/microphone. Much better than the dedicated Jabra hands-free that I was using. So after a month I am upping the rating to a 6. Still an incredible value (I bought for $166). The one feature that the Acoutik does not have is the radio information scroll some other radio have that provides the station name and often the name of the song. Too bad because it would seem such a simple feature to add. But still, the unit looks and sounds great none the less. This unit has far exceeded my expectations. original review: I was persuaded to try this unit by all of the great reviews, but was I highly skeptical. And then the box came in with graphics that I swear only a 16-year old kid could dream up (smoking skulls with wings!!??) and a broken-English instruction/installation manual that added to my reservations about the product. I almost decided to return it be fore putting it in. I am glad I didn't. VERY NICE UNIT with GREAT sound (and I am very picky about sound systems). I am not sure how it is possible, but the sound from the radio is soooo much better than the premium Infinity system I replaced. Very intuitive controls, both manual and on-screen. Bluetooth paired up right away and continues to sync up every time I get in the car with my Droid. I haven't installed the back up camera yet because the installation manual was wrong, I later found a separate installation sheet tucked in with the warranty info. I installed the unit myself in about 3 hours. I strongly suggest that you purchase a wiring adapter that will plug right into the existing wiring connector from Crutchfield ([...]) when you order the PTID unit. Note: I suggest using the 'chat' with the staff' option on the Crutchfield website to track down the correct adapter They were great. This adapter will allow you to keep the original wiring, which keeps things much cleaner, and make it much easier to wire. I wired the adapter to the head unit in my kitchen and then carried the whole ready-to-plug-in unit down to the garage and just plugged it in. Much, much easier than trying to connect the wires when in the dash board. Like all flip-up screen units, the head unit does stick out about an inch from the dash board to accommodate the flip-up screen. It does look a little weird sticking out like that, but it doesn't look bad. In fact when on it looks pretty good. I have seen similar units for anywhere from $300 to $600. So for $166 this product is an absolute bargain.With the self-installation ($200) I figure I just got an $800 unit for les than $200. It was a good day.

Me llego incompleto el paquete ya que faltan todas el paquete de instalación (tornillos, media caja, llaves etc) de ahí en más está bien

Very happy with it, very reliable

When you get a head unit with a motorized screen for 175 bucks from a company called "Power Acoustik", you don't expect much. I'm no audiophile, so as long as I get okay sounding music from a head unit, i'm good with it. I believe it said the retail price was $550 or something like that, and I take that with a big grain of salt (no one would actually buy a "Power Acoustik" head unit for $550, i'm sure). I got it for extremely cheap (for having a motorized screen), and so I expected the quality to be very low as well. Also, apparently some people got faulty units as well, which makes me nervous, like when I play the lottery. You have that feeling like you *hopefully* have a winner, but more than likely not... When I got the unit and installed it, I was pleasantly shocked. The unit looks pretty good to me. Overall quality of the unit looks as good as any head unit i've had in the past. The screen rolls out quickly, movies look pretty good on it. I put it into an Acura Integra, so the viewing angle is weird because of the dash layout, but I can still see the whole picture perfectly. When you plug a USB drive into the unit, it scans it for videos and plays them automatically, which was pretty cool. it does play xvid and divx encoded avi, checked both of those already. I haven't tried bluetooth yet, so can't comment on that, but i checked out the interface, and the layout looks pretty easy to use. The subwoofer channel (only single/mono RCA out, so if you have your amp set up for dual input you'll need a splitter) works very well. You can change the crossover on the unit easily on the touchscreen or using the included remote, as well as the subwoofer volume level. There's also 3 more sets of pre-outs; front stereo, back stereo, and then front/back dual out. It comes with a nylon bag for the face, and not a case, but I never remove the face anyways (head units are so cheap nowadays that car thieves could make more profit siphoning your gas out than stealing your head unit). Oh, and to kill that annoying little "safety" feature (the parking brake switch), where the videos will only play while the parking brake is engaged, that was way easily skirted by grounding the parking brake line, unlike other units where you need a completely separate component to "fix" it. I mean, what's the point of having a DVD player in your car if you can't watch movies in traffic?? (just joking, Officer) And 14 bucks more for a rearview camera (sold separately)? I'm in an integra, so it absolutely is neither needed or really useful, but for 14 bucks, count me in. Not what I bought the unit for, the unit does have inputs for the cam and tail light switch, so i ran the wires but didn't hook up the camera in back yet. I did test it out in the car before putting everything back together, to make sure i get picture, but haven't hooked it to the tail light yet or mounted the camera (license tag mount). If the quality sucks, i'll attribute that to the camera i got (ha 14 bucks, of course it's the camera) and not the head unit. All in all, i'd buy this thing again, especially for 175 bucks. I've had my share of cheap-ass head units in the past, and while this isn't Kenwood or Clarion or whatever, it doesn't reek of crapola like a Dual, Pyle, or Boss does. If you have had one of those in the past, you'll know the stench of low quality very well. For the price, I seriously doubt you could beat this thing. If you get a working unit, that is, which I did. And i'm happy with it. P.S. the USB input does not read an iphone... just FYI if you were getting it to try that. it does not work; they'd probably have to pay Apple royalties to have that function (HA just ask Samsung about how that works). I didn't try my iPod yet, but did happen to have my iphone in my pocket so i gave it the ol' college try... You can, however, (supposedly - haven't tried yet) hook up your phone and stream over bluetooth (A2DP). If i ever actually try that, i'll update the review.
