AtomicMike Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 So, I don't have any experience with the JVC Arsenal line of head units and I can't seem to find any shop that has one on active display. On paper the specs look pretty good, 4 volts pre-outs or higher, multi band eq, low and high pass filter and the list can go on... Is there anyone on the forum that has experience with these units (any Arsenal model)? Do these units stay clear at max volume or close to max volume? How is the BT audio streaming? Any help is greatly appreciated!
BoomZoom808 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 I don't have an arsenal but I do have a higher end JVC unit and it's pretty nice. My only complaints are that the bluetooth takes forever to connect and switching apps is kind of quirky. Say if I want to play a video from youtube Pandora tries to take over the audio signal every time and when I do get it to play if I turn the volume up the volume automatically goes to zero. I also it sucks with Android devices. Can't stream pandora through the usb conenction only bluetooth. This might have been addressed with the newer models.

PaCiFiKbAllA Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 I don't own an Arsenal but I do have the highest end Kameleon (KD-AVX77). It has 5v preouts, 5 band eq (I wish it was a 9 band for more fine tuning), I'm not going to list all the features because it has a shit load. USB hookup, HD Radio ready (I have the tuner as well), DVD playback....a full package in a single din unit. This head unit, well mine anyways, does not distort at full volume. I set my system with the DD-1. Bluetooth steaming is crystal clear. If your looking for a bad ass single din head unit, this is probably one of the most full featured ones out there, and its touchscreen.

3vil Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 I haven't played with the Arsenal line, but I have installed a newer 7" flip out. I don't remember what line it was, but I do remember it being really slow. As in you push next track while playing a CD, count to ten, then it'll actually skip and start playing the next track.
AtomicMike Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 I heard some of the double dins and flip outs are a hit or miss. The KD-AVX77 looks like pretty sick unit, but unfortunately it's discontinued. I am leaning towards the KD-R975BT, spec wise it seems amazing for the price point. I hoping it's not one of those too good to be true situations.
