Shyne151 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 We sell alot of kenwood decks at work... "america's oldest kenwood dealer". And truthfully we have no problems with them... I have an eXcelon 891 coming sometime soon that I won for installing eXcelon equipment, I'll probably throw it in and give my premier 770 to my sister or something.

sactownstang Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I have the kenwood 891 excleron while it is a nice unit, I can't recommend it. At world finals it would not load the cd. 2 days later it works as normal. May have been something with humidity with the rain, but that burned me to get alpine 9887 for my competiton purposes. Sure it will work out good for u let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSN2meBoom916 Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 (edited) I have been running Alpine exclusively in my ride for a whiel now and woul've sworn by it except in the last few yrs they have (as mentioned above^^) dropped a lotta nice features and made the use interfaces lame. MAIN gripe-the face is a PAIN IN THE ASS to get on and off- to the point that I leave it on most of the time... defeating the whole point of having a detach. face deck.

trainman0978 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I have the kenwood xxv-01d and it is starting to behave rather strangle from time to time. For one, the EQ settings like to change on their own. explanation: I set them all where I want them, a day or two later I check them cause the system sounds a little off, and sure enough everything is different. turn the deck off, pop the face plate loose, wait about twenty seconds, turn it all back on and wa-la! the EQ settings are back where I put them.. Then there is the satellite radio channel changing thing. I use sirius , but here is what happens. I push the remote to go up a channel- nothing happens , so I push it again, sometimes it changes , sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't I push it again, then it will jump 3 channels for the three pushes on the remote all at once. then other times it works just fine. Not to mention sometimes when I use one of the buttons on the face, the screen goes black, but the sound still plays, and I have to pop the face off and put it back on to get normal operation again. I took it down to my kenwood dealer, where I got it, but of course it wouldn't duplicate any problem for me show them what was up. On top of all that I have e-mailed kenwood twice with no response. This deck was the cream of the crop when It came out in late 2005. If I had the cash for something else I would toss it in the trash. What sucks is now, in order to switch brands I would have to get a new ipod adapter, and a new sirius brain, which makes the swap even more costly.
