    • upgrade from alpine
Had a old Alpine in my car when I bought it, no Bluetooth. still sounded good. purchased this Kenwood receiver and I'm very pleased. it's a lot louder and more function ability. I also have Kenwood equipment on my motorcycle fairing and am very pleased with it also.

    • Fantastic head unit
Fantastic head unit. Tons of adjustments, 5 volt pre outs, very happy with it! A substantial upgrade over my alpine 175bt. My only grievance is when you are adjusting the eq the sound stops for just a second, but only a minor annoyance. Gonna buy two more just to have as finding these features in a single din stereo is becoming a dying breed. ... show more

Dropped in a 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ. Installation was a breeze (if you are using the factory amp, make sure you connect the blue/white stripe "Continuous Power" wire to the solid blue "Power Antenna" wire on the vehicle harness, otherwise your sub won't turn on; if you have an aftermarket amp it will have it's own C Power wire). The colors/lighting and quality are top notch. HIGHLY recommend any head units from the Kenwood Excelon series ... show more

    • Weak heat sink. Weak heat sink.
Review Image by Tyler Hagner
So I upgraded from a Kenwood bt270 because it couldn’t power my 4ohm speaker without clipping after 10 minutes at high volume. Previously had infinity kapppa 4x6s in the front and rear of my Kenworth dump truck which are 3ohm and it would only last a song or two before complete static. I knew this radio had pretty much the same heat sink but figured I would give it a try since I love the fit finish and just how the kenwoods are set up. I can listen to music for about an hour but still even after changing to all 4ohm speakers I still get clipping. It’s not a huge deal just have to give it a break sometime but for the price i wish it could handle what it’s rated for. Overall it’s a really nice head unit and easy to install you will figure it out quickly after messing around. Has all the adjustments you need in a single din. ... show more

    • Nice sounding head unit
A bit too menu driven like ALL available now. Oh well, it sounds nice. CD drive sounds superb. Onboard bluetooth DAC is not as good as my Audioengine but functions well for what it is. The display adapts well to ambient lighting if setup correctly. I use its RCA outs only. Never used FM cept to confirm its hooked to cars antenna. Sounds like a radio. If timed correctly this head unit sounds awesome driving my 1400 watts RMS of 3 amplifiers . Be patient and F with all those settings, you wont be disappointed. ... show more

    • Just like all the other temporary crap
Apparently things that were once quality are junk now. Less than a year and it’s crapping out. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, just disappointing

    • Voltage
Bought it for the 5v av ports. 3 sets of pre amp outputs. 1 dedicated just for your subs. Makes tuning amp much easier getting the 5v or very to it. Which helps you tune to the wattage you need. And you can still play CDs which most don't have these days. Best one on the market in this price range.
