Chris Hammer Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I would go with the Kenwood. Have always had Kenwood/Pioneer head units...never had any problems. Did a few different installs for friends with sony H/U and I'm not a fan but they did get the job done. My vote still goes for the Kenwood...I like their menus and SQ seems good.

Chris Hammer Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I just looked em up and didn't realize that Kenwood is 100$ more than the sony. I still would go with the Kenwood.

Freshman6969 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 kenwood no doubt, ive been playing with one at work and them things is epic! you can stream pandora on android and BB aswell with those units, great eq, and im not sure if its THAT unit but i think it might have time alignment aswell Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?
