well...
you have to admit...that's more then a head unit...
I think someone made the comment, spending a couple k on various components...so that's all that is...it's a CD Changer amps and more with a "head unit" sized interface to control it...I don't even think you could claim that system comes with a head unit...
no no no... the head unit being larger than normal, remote mounted and holding 6 cd's does not make it any less a head unit... it just LOOKS like a changer...
you wouldn't say that the nakamichi or alpine in-dash changers weren't head units, would you? even if they had anything close to the dsp, x-over capabilites of the z-50...
the amps, speakers, etc. are seperate components... the entire xes system would run a bit over $15k...
