I am currently looking at the kenwood kdc-x689 head unit http://www.kenwoodusa.com/products/L...k3=128&pr=2163

just wanted to get some feedback on it or at least the brand

i basically narrowed myself down to kenwood or pioneer, i liked alpine but all their mid to high range hu's have that touch control which i dont like...

thanks in advance

EDIT: btw - i am basically in between this kenwood hu and the pioneer deh-p6800mp head unit http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...078777,00.html

 

I'm getting a kenwood (http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=15395) as soon as I get the money for it. I think they are great HU makers.

 

No complaints here! I love my KENWOOD EXCELON KDC-X889. I got it for $300 shipped off Ebay. Its got tons of features to play with and sounds amazing. I have it set up with XM Radio as well. Heres a look at it installed:

 

my wife had an Eclipse hu installed in her TC; gave us some control of the sub she had put in, as well as clean power to the stock speakers. Features/***** are easy for her to use while driving; much better then the Alpine deck she had put in her last car ( civic ). Installer was also able to keep functional the TC stereo cover, which was nice ( i wasn't sure if that's possible with any deck switch or not ).

 

Kenwood headunits are nice, but whatever you do, don't buy a kenwood subwoofer.

 

kenwoods make some nice HU's. i have the ddx-7015 and i love it. although it can have some more features on there, but for the price, it's awesome.

 

thanks guys i appreciate the imput

what do you think of that kenwood head unit compared to that pioneer hu?

 

How about Alpine! Their comming out with their 06' HU's!

Cant wait for those!

 

hmmm, ive used pioneer HU's in the past. there pretty good also. and if i had more more, i prob. would of gone with the pioneer. but its just w/e you prefer.

 

ok thanks.

 

Kenwood's good. I have a Kenwood Excelon DDX8017 Double-Din 6.5" DVD Touchscreen HU.


:D

 

Kenwood has great HU's..... I came from Alpine which had a nice time correction....but the Kenwood gave my bass a great fulfillment....

That being said, I don't like Kenwood's cheaper HU's... their SRS Wow, System Q-ex/System E's+, is what I really like about them....

 

thanks, it looks like im going to go with the kdc-x689 or the x989

can't wait! thanks again

 

You mean KDC-X889 right ? There is no X989.

 

yea the KDC-X889 thanks for correctin the typo

 

I personally wont get anything but Kenwood when it comes to head units. They give you pretty much everything you want for a good price. I should have my touch screen in by the end of the month.

 

Go for the 889... You'll be happy you did in the end...
