xtankx Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 New here hopefully im posting this in the correct area if not i apologize. Still new to alot of things car audio wise but im upgrading my cheap single din kenwood hd455u and looking in to getting A double din. Im not looking for nav or anything fancy that way. What i do want is nice sound quality, clear and bright looking screen, easy to learn, and a quick unit. Went and checked out a couple units in person and saw the kenwood ddx470 and really like the sound quality screen layout and price on amazon i think it was like $280 new. Almost sold, but i found a basically brand new jvc kw-av70bt for $200 or trade. Ive never owned nor heard jvc so this makes me weary to pick it up since it isnt currently installed in a car but the reviews are decent and pretty close to that of the kenwood so im in a debate now. Im currently running my single den kenwood hd455u with 4 mb quart door speakers and 2 tweeters, a jl audio 4 channel amp for speakers a treo rsx amp for my two treo 12 inch subs and a 1.5 farad capacitor. like i said kenwood sounded nice but ive heard decent things about jvc just never experienced them. Id love some input on both units from some experts or those who are a bit more knowledgeable than I, maybe even some other units that are comparable to these that ive posted up. Thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k3n12ock Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 JVC is made by Kenwood so either or.

SnowDrifter Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 In all honesty: I doubt you'd notice any huge difference in sound between them. Look into the one that has the features you want/need, with a layout that feels comfortable to you. Basically: get the one that you feel is easier to use. Gotta go in-store and test them. Because quite honestly, you'll see more of a difference in sound by swapping RCAs or changing components than you would between these two ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 No VS threads man. Welcome to the forum though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtankx Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 sorry guys didnt know about the vs thread! but thank you or the quick replies, biggest difference i see is the kenwood has physical buttons and the jvc does not. The kenwood has 2 rear usb ports and jvc has one so they really do go hand in hand i guess. i just like that ive seen the kenwood in store so its a safer buy in my opinion. and as far as rca's wha do you guys recommend? whats given the best quality for price?

I like the Kny Krystal ones. Some people don't though. They tend to hold on to the RCAs pretty tight ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
