Guess it all depends on what model you get because I have absolutely no problems like this with my Kenwood. 

In fact, the more I get on the volume, the cleaner and more dynamic it performs.

Yeah could probably be model specific, fwiw they are very good units and i don't see many come back often, not this year anyway.

Which model kenwood do you have & which features do you have turned on? 

 A couple of years ago i had to attend kenwood's training and they talked about certain things that when used on (bass boost/bass extend/loudness/stage eq ect) may cause a lower clipping point because the internal dac further eq's the signal.

One of my first headunits was a single din pioneer and it had a setting just like that. What it means is that if you were to use the EQ at all on the headunit and let's say you had the bass set to wide, it would boost or lower the frequencies in a wide range verses if it was set to narrow it would only adjust a smaller amount of frequencies. 

I would leave it at standard and not recommend boosting anything unless you have a DD1 to make sure you don't start clipping the living hell out of your amp and speakers.

I should have been a little more clear, this is about jvc/kenwood products as they use the same chipsets and are owned by the same company since 2017. Same wire harness,same firmware extensions ect. 

 

Anyways, it is a subjective setting and really up to the op, just putting in my humble 2c is all.
