[QUOTE="thefunkybunch, post: 2944558, member: 563903"] kenwood makes some very good sounding radios. they'll give a good clean pre-amp signal, and general functions (Aside from the xxv unit) are easy to get to and intuitive. the only downside that i don't like about kenwood is some of the functions are a pita to get to, and working them makes about as much sense as a monkey trying to screw a football... kenwood likes to make you push and hold buttons to access certain features (like crossovers and stuff). i personally run an alpine 9855 and honestly don't care for it all that much... it leaves a bit for me to be desired. i like the fact that it has a 3way mode that allows me to do front high/mid and sub, rather than only front/rear/sub pre-outs, and gives me crossovers to accomodate that, as well as the time correction for my tweets independant of my mids for a little better soundstage. but in terms of SQ, i have quite a few gripes and *****es about the unit... not to say it sounds bad, just not quite what i'm looking for. once clarion's 9255 will do sirius, i'll own one. until then, i'll survive [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] oh the other thing, kenwood's time correction is a joke. i dont know if that alpine even offers it, but if you're looking for any sort of time correction, then i'd look elsewhere.
