I've been researching head units along with component speakers and amplifiers. This is the head unit I have arrived at. Supposedly, this thing measures g forces, horsepower of your ride, and also has a usb input for your mp3 player. If anybody can offer feeback, (positive and/or negative) I would appreciate it.

Details:

thanks for the feedback man. much appreciated.
kenwood.com said the 790 had a USB port but I've only seen one on the front of the 590. will you confirm that for me please? otherwise, you can control any mp3 player through the auxilary input I assume?
