Austin EightBit Adams Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I can't decide what I want. Kenwood Excelon KDC-X597 or Sony MEX-N5000BT they are both 129.99, both have 6 channel pre-out, and both have all the bells and whistles(BT,AUX,USB) Which one should I choose, and why?
truthsayer Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 While neither one is my preferred brand of preference, I would take Kenwood over Sony any day. truthsayer

Austin EightBit Adams Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Posted May 25, 2014 While neither one is my preferred brand of preference, I would take Kenwood over Sony any day. This is what i was thinking due to the stiff karma against the "XPLOD" line of low-money stuff they put out. But I'd love everyone's opinion/personal experiences.
Austin EightBit Adams Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Posted May 25, 2014 Clarion cz702, $10 more and has all those features plus time alignment and active capable I don't think it fits in my '00 Chevy Lumina (or any clarion unit really)
truthsayer Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Clarion cz702, $10 more and has all those features plus time alignment and active capable If you where asking for brands options. I would have to agree with bighoss as he stated above. To me the sound quality of the clarion is the way to go. truthsayer
Austin EightBit Adams Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Posted May 25, 2014 If anyone can guarantee it will fit in my dash, ill probably buy it, mainly because it adds the HD radio for only 10 bucks more than the other 2. Right now i have a KDC-128 from 2006 (i think) EDIT: nevermind (i thought hd radio was included, its just optional)

It's no deeper than any other HU i've had. truthsayer

Crutchfield says it wont fit, but i think thats mainly because of the "limited space" behind my dash, and the fact that I dont see the same wiring harness on the back of that unit... I hate multiple sources telling me different information... XD
truthsayer Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I personally don't trust crutchfield. Their always saying stuff don't fit. try different sites like amazon or sonic. Edit: I also wont buy form Crutchfield due to their pricing. And also their review altering. I wrote a review on a product awhile back, which was sort of a neutral review, neither good or bad really. They then altered the review to make it out to be a good endorsement for the product. Which ticked me off. So i had to write to the CEO to get the review pulled. Therefore i will never trust crutchfield reviews gain. truthsayer
