Looking at buying the Kenwood Excelon DNX8120 right now, but I was wondering if anyone knew when the '09 version of this same HU is going to come out? I'd hate to get this one then find that the '09 one is coming out relatively soon.

Thanks.

 
wait til the new one comes out and get the DNX8120 for even less;)
haha that's what i was thinking about as well, but I'm getting impatient. it's getting time to pully my car out of storage and I'm getting antsy! any idea on how long until the '09 comes out?

 
im not sure if they are doing a 8140 this year, i think hey took it out and doing the 9140 which add voice recognition for music and nav etc

but you can still get a ddx814+ kna-g510

i could have gotten a 814 at the end of this month, i think ship date was like march 30th maybe? but it cost more and from the pics i like the look of the 812 better, but ill see some soon when we get them in, might grab one instead

im just impatient also //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

totally with ya. I went ahead and bought the 8120 because I didn't feel like waiting.

I did manage to get some info from Crutchfield, however. When I asked them about the release, they said that there wasn't going too be much change in the new unit aside from voice recognition, like you mentioned. They didn't know when it was going to be released, which told me that it wasn't going to be out for a little while yet.

Personally, I like the look of the 8120, and I realized that the new edition with voice recognition isn't necessary for me. I was able to snag an 8120 for $1200 on SonicElectronix, so I was happy.

I also ordered/received:

1 R/F T-1000 amp and PEQ;

1 JL 12" W3 sub

I have yet to put this stuff in since I just got it today, but I'm pretty pumped since this will be my first aftermarket audio setup.

 
i forget how expensive those 8120s are, dang
should be an awesome sounding system
yeah, that was even on the cheap side. On Crutchfield they're going for $1,500. No way was I going to pay that much for that.

How do you like R/F amps? I have no experience with aftermarket audio, but it seems as though you like them!
