Before I had a crappy Sony Xplod. This one looked so chunky the way it was mounted.

And now I have a Kenwood KIV-700 and it's the best one out there! This unit doesn't have a CD player, which I could care less about since I have an iPod. lol My speakers and subs have never sounded better! It even plays video!

It took me weeks to find one I liked. Payed around $320 for the unit plus labor.

Thanks. I was so picky about which one to get. I wanted the other model like this one that had Bluetooth but it was $400 and was waaayyyy out of my price range. But hey, only reason I got it was because I made Deans list again and my parents decided to reward me.

I payed half and they pitched in, that and my other unit was shorting out. Go figure, it's a Sony. lol

Is that a common problem. I love my Panasonic but after only light use after 3 years. It cuts in and out. I now realize the power is fine cuz it remembers my settings.

Yeah I lived with it as long as I could but when it made my speakers start buzzing is where I drew the line. I'm a music junkie and the shitty head unit just wasn't gonna fly anymore.

The Kenwood definitely looks a whole lot sweeter. Have you upgraded anything else(speakers, amps, subs, etc)?

Oh yes! I have 2 10'' Kenwood subs, 6 Infinity speakers and a 2,000 watt amp.

I just bought a kenwood x994! I can't wait to put it in. How did you paint your trim pieces white??? I've painted mine white too but yours look smooth to the touch.

**allbaugh_04** · 08-18-2010, 07:41 PM

The USB feature is awesome on decks.

I bought a Clarion a couple years ago with the USB hook up. Bought an 8GB usb drive and it's so dang easy....

Yeah they're perfectly smooth. All I did was use 1000 grit sand paper and wet sanded it and sent the pieces off to my friend who painted them for me. Had them like that for 3 years and they've never chipped and still look like they were just painted.

**WICKEDLS1** · 08-30-2010, 08:25 AM

The dash pieces look like you take good care of them i painted some of them in my truck and they didnt last a year before i ended up having to re-sand and paint them

**WICKEDLS1** · 08-30-2010, 08:27 AM

also how do you like that sub box being right on top cause i want to put some in my car but I cant put them in the very back because of the t-top holders
