Cruisergeo, I did buy it and installed and it sounds great! I don't think that it looks cheesey, it is plastic but Kenwood quality all the way! The sound is really great! You'll be surprised. Crutchfield as a great return policy if you don't like it send it back! Just make sure you dry fit and test before you alter and/or install any of the parts. I hope this helps! Oh! and since you can install it under the driver's seat you won't lose any cargo space.
