That digital media player is the cheapest that you're going to get for a video monitor in a single DIN deck; actual screens aren't that common in single DIN units. So if you want a backup camera, that's your best bet. You could just get any of the cheapest decks from Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood...

Equalization and volume dude, equalization and volume. Next thing you'll be trying to tell me that your Monster cables increase the resonance of your music

Sorry man, I've been through a lot of school, and I still have my physics textbooks on my bookshelf, and have to turn to them periodically. There are many scientific discussions online about the subject, and about psychoacoustics. There's a lot of diffuse claims being made online, and I'm just...

I doubt you, or anyone else on earth for that matter, can hear a difference between a 16 bit and a 24 bit DAC. My last post got deleted for being a new user that posts links, so please type: "head-fi 24bit vs 16bit, the myth exploded!" into google and read up on that nice little thread. Also...

Sound quality will overall be the same across pretty much every unit from Clarion, Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine, Sony, and JVC. Just buy based on the convenience and tuning features you need, i.e. parametric vs graphic equalizer, time alignment, high/lowpass filters if you need them, adjustable...

Hey there, you cross-posting fool! Way to give Canadians a bad name, thanks a lot for that. Well, overall Kenwood and Alpine are pretty comparable; it just depends on what features you're happy with. The Alpine has free lifetime traffic for its GPS, but for EQ options you have to buy the Imprint...

There is need for all that, because the OP is a moron that posted in the very wrong section. Is he posting a head unit review? Well then, WHY IS HE POSTING IN THE REVIEWS SECTION?!

Yes, but I would run one anyway. From this review: Stereowise Plus: Zed Audio Leviathan III 6 Channel Full Range Class D Amplifier Review "Installation was simple, and again I loved the high quality. The right side was for all of the wiring connections, for power ground, remote turn on, and...

I don't know how many times he's going to have to hear this to get it through his head. Man, the human desire to cheat the system and get something for nothing, huh? He wants so bad for it to be true, like he's going to find one that goes completely against convention. This mentality is exactly...

It depends what all features you want. For example, for the same price as the KIV-701, you can buy Kenwood's best single-DIN head unit, the Excelon KDC-X996. You get HD Radio, Bluetooth, Pandora without the use of the KIV-701's goofy adapter cable, Android app, better sound and EQ controls, etc...

Oh, all right, thanks for the clarification. So moderators don't have access, but admin do. I understood Mike's post to mean that these posts were completely inaccessible once posted.

So Mike, do you mind clarifying a bit how the process works? What do you mean you mods have no access to the post, where does it go then once I press the "post" button? Is "moderator approval" a euphemism for deletion? Also, I looked at the forum rules and didn't see anything in there about...

It doesn't matter if you're underpowering by an insignificant amount, and just have the gains turned up a tiny bit. For example, your subs are 1,000W RMS. I would bet your car that you would be unable to distinguish an 800W RMS amplifier from a 1,000W RMS amplifier. That is why Crutchfield, for...

Where are you putting your amplifier? I would try to use the factory wiring as much as possible. If you are putting the amplifier under your seat, then just send the wiring from the amplifier to behind your dash, and connect it to the car speaker wiring instead of your headunit. If you are...

Two ways to do it. Either get any mono amplifier that's 2-Ohm stable and that can do 2,000W RMS power, or any 2-channel amplifier that is capable of 1,000W x 2 RMS. Either way, that's some pretty high output expectancy. The only mono amps I see from a quick search at Crutchfield for example...
