And although it kind of looks like it, it is not a twin-shaft deck like the old cassete players. It fits a DIN hole.

BARELY.

lol, this thing was ridiculous to install, the faceplate is massive on them, i had to do a fair bit of work just to get it into my car. its around a 1/4" bigger than standard din size on each side.


this deck astounds me every day though. no distortion at any volume, easy to use, extremely nice sq, and you can just tell it will be around for a long time, the build quality is great.
i have not measured them, but the rated 4V preouts on this are just as loud as the rated 8V+ on the CD8061 w/ BLA i had in before. so either this is underrated and that over i don't know. im geussing a little of both.

I enjoyed mine in my last car, I am using my Eclipse 7100 to help me tune my Zapco DC reference then I intend on putting the Mac back in this car as it has a great FEEL to it and pretty good sound (not flat but slightly old fashioned like a Mac tubed amp smooth on top an full on the midbass)
I am sure if McIntosh claims a 4v output it is a 4v output (they don't fudge ratings), it is just a little beefier than it needs to be is my guess (i.e. it has a better output amp than it needs)

It is that great feel that really sets it apart (it feels like a high end tuner from the '70s), decent radio (too few presets), good CD tracking, it looked like Ford designed it into my 90 Taurus SHO, I suspect it wont look as good in my 2003 Focus SVT
