Also, please don't forget to browse around Crutchfield, the web site is
great for specs, comparisons, reviews, etc.  For example they have the
owners/users manuals online to possibly examine the details of how some of
the controls actually function.

http://www.crutchfield.com

A  good place to buy as well.
