Ratski Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 So from my previous thread we now know that I need ANOTHER new head unit. So now I've been searching for a newer navigation style unit. I have seen some threads on here and most people have a. It of a lower budget $300-500. I' want to stay between $500-700. I've seen some cool kenwoods and an alpine. I'm curious on what some of you guys are running? I like the kenwoods on the fact they have a 13-band eq. Alpines run a 9 band. Models I have been looking at kenwood dnx 893s kenwood dnn992 ( can't really figure the difference between the two) i don't want to get to deep into the SQ subject on here because everyone has a different idea of "sq". But I would like a nicer HU that's based on sq or had great sq features. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 The 992 was released in 2015, the 893s was released in 2016 and is a more updated model. The 893s has carplay, android auto, support for the iphone 7/7+, the 992 does not. The 893s also has and a stronger FM signal. Kenwood has been using that same style chassis/screen/button combo for a few years now, so cosmetically they will look very similar on the outside with basic variations on audio and video inputs/output on the back and different feature sets depending on your budget. So just because they looks the same doesnt mean they are the same, but they are fairly close and it really comes down to what you actually need, if you dont have a iphone 7/7+ and dont mind not having android auto then maybe the 992 is a better option since its a older discontinued model that you can probably fine at a nice discount, but then again Im pretty sure the 893s is discontinued as well and they have a newer replacement for it in 2017, but some sites still may have stock in it and still selling it like Crutchfield.

Ratski Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yea I've seen both for sale still. My last unit was an alpine s920hd. Decent unit. I don't need any android as I'm an iPhone user, I just wanted some of the newer stuff like the Siri free or whatever it's called. So I can hands free text. Never used a kenwood I've always stuck with alpine, so I was just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyblack76 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yip, asking for DOUBLE DIN opinions im out, bring nothing to the table. I hate, and cant stand any double din unit on the market. Would personally never ever run one. So, good luck with your search.

So, good luck with your search. do any of the single din units have options like the text to speech? i do enjoy the higher end single din units but i kinda still want some of the other options to stay with. out of curiosity why do you dislike the double din units so much?

That's really only my main gripe with the Double Dins, I bought a Pioneer avh4500 a long time ago and it's been pretty slow and all the demos of the new double dins don't seem to be any better in terms of speed and glitches. My AVH4500 is soooo glitchy sometimes especially when trying to play my large library off of my iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
