kenwood excelon 693?

I have been looking for new deck, and was buying the new excelon 993, but it looks like the only difference in it and the 693 is bluetooth. I dont need that, but does anybody have either one of these. I was wondering if the crossovers, eq's and all are the same in both. thanks

i had a 991, and want to find another one of those, but no luck yet. I like the HD in it, but may just go ahead and get 993

i have heard alot of people like the 693. I dont know anybody with 993. I dont know if its worth the extra $150 or so for bluetooth though

personally i hate my 693. RCAs went out. had to reground them. EQ is meh at best. and its purple. bad choice by me to buy it and i regret it.

basscort what are you talking about?

I have had both. Currently own the 693. Personally think it's the best looking deck out there and pretty easy to use once u get used to the dials. The eq looks to be the same. Other than the blutooth I do belive they are the same. Hence why I bought the 693 this time cuz I didn't need btooth. Only issue I have is the glare on the deck

during the day makes seeing it difficult.
