About the Sony Xplod CDX-GT130
Spend a little, get a lot with Sony's CDX-GT130 CD receiver. You'll find the same strong amplifier and CD drive that Sony uses on their more expensive models, so you can count on great sound and steady performance from the moment you install it in your dash. You can shape the sound with the built-in 3-band equalizer, and adjust the frequency filters to ensure the best possible performance from your speakers and subs.
The handy front-panel input makes it easy to connect a portable music player, or to add a plug-and-play satellite radio for comprehensive music, sports, and news coverage. If you want a little more kick to your tunes, the stereo features a set of preamp outputs for connecting an external amp and subwoofer.

Had an old SONY XPLOD with a bad face plate. This unit slid right in and used the same connector. Unit works well and has a nice sound. Adjustments are easy and the unit looks good. Priced low and performs adequately.
