Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Sounds great after some fine tuning. Very satisfied. Only thing that needs improvement is the remote.

Pioneer has the best looks but kenwood has better sound. Takes a little bit of time to remember the process of changing settings/eq. Once audio is setup the way you like, it stays that way.

I have this stereo going to an amp with two 12 subwoofers, and and powering the cabin's midrange and tweeters directly. To the subwoofer size and speaker size.

Easy to install diesel pusher. You have to download the instruction manual. Easy to tune.

Cons

This receiver works but is buggy! The face plate has a feature where if there is any moisture in the air it will read protect and the radio is unuseable. It's so frustrating when it doesn't work that i end up using the radio half the time.

Quality

Great features for customizing sound quality, kenwood sets the standard.

Easy install, works so well and looks nice

The one con is if the volume is up and nothing is playing, there is static noise.

Didn’t even need a schematic just attached the pigtail and the original wires and the radio turned on.

Price

The price of less than $100 was good for the pocket too!

For the price, you cannot beat this head unit!

Was told he couldn't do it for 5-7weeks at a cost of between $400-$1,000.

I’m now very disappointed on the price gouge, and won’t be ordering any more.

Competitiveness

I have used sony, pioneer, and jvc which currently owns kenwood.

There are a lot of competitors offering same quality in the new price range.

I have not used any other brands than the ones mentioned above so i can't say its the absolute best.
