Kenwood EZ500 vs. Pioneer

[beatbox]

what do u guys think about the Kenwood EZ500????

Worth the money?? I like the idea of 2 knobs.....guess it depends on what they "feel" like and the if the unit has any superior qualities.

My setup got jacked by some obviously sweet dudes........so I'm looking for something MP3 capapble and affordably priced. Apparently i'm going to buy my new HU before I fix the window the "sweet dudes" broke. Wow....... 2nd time in one year, so I doubt I need to get something w/ real capabilities.

I'm used to Pioneer HU's w/ a decent amount of control of the the overall sound. I dunno much about the new Kenwoods and what they do/do not, but some are in my price range and I'm just wondering if I should make the change.

Let me know,

thx,

adam

New window and an alarm with glass break sensor.

Kenwood EZ series was brought out because they felt that people were too intimidated by this over the top dolpins humping screen savers, with over the top menus. They wanted simple and easy to use and navigate. They added two more 700 and 900 to the series.

I like the EZ500, its easy to use, classy, simple. No dolphins, race cars, over the top features, but anyone can get in and use it.

Now, if you got your car broken into in the same places (work, home) they are just waiting for you to get a new deck so the can come get that too. Unless you change something (get a new car, park it in the garage) or the thief is an amatuer (crack head who forgets where you live/is in the slammer/etc.) someone will come back to see what else you left them in your dash. Alarm is a good idea for sure.

Lots of models are getting to their end of product cycle so you might want to be on the lookout and see what else might be out of your price range now that might be in it in a few weeks.
