meh, not bad, does it have a copper chassis?

Wow, really nice specs for that price. I can't find much info about the crossovers, though. May have to get one of these to see if I like it more than the DXZ785USB.

I love kenwoods higher end stuff. that headunit looks awesome

Thats a killer price, but I don't understand whats up with the lowered 4 volt preouts. I have the X-990 and it comes with 5 volt preouts. Parametric eq is also lowered. Nevertheless, I have no doubt it is still a killer deck! They are sexy!

If only Kenwood had made the right wheel button work properly...why Kenwood, WHY?!!?!

Now I have to wait for the Eclipse CD5030 or Clarion FZ709....grr.....

P.S. That 5 line display is really nice...off to sulk now..... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

i was looking at these, they look really nice but for the extra hundred bones you can get a new x991 on ebay from sonic's store....

should be a nice deck. Kenwood still makes quality decks imo. I had the x991 and loved it. Only down fall for some is that it is not an active capable head unit.

I thought it would have more options on the EQ, but overall looks nice. Kinda surprising it is only 4volts, which really is plenty for most.

I like most all Kenwood HU's from the lower line to the higher line. All very solid decks. I did go with JVC this time around to try something different though.

i have a 693 sitting here in my hands at the shop, about to turn it on and play with it

693 is same but without bluetooth, maybe some other little things

wheee...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

edit: its a pretty bad *** unit, tons of sound control, same as my ddx812 with xovers and such, can do 6,12,18, and 24db slope, time alignment, and tons of stuff, its in our HERTZ display right now

what is the difference with volts in preouts anyways?

i made a video running through some of the menus and trying to show some things, anyone want me to upload it?

you can change dam near anything on there

 

[RowJoe 10+ year member]

PLZZZZZZZZ upload it!

 

[bamaboy 5,000+ posts]

i can see it decent now, but after uploading to photobucket it will be garbage, uploading now, its like 4 minutes long

edit: pics to hold over, color change is neat, you can change all colors, or do the screen 1 color, the right side 1 color and the left side a different color
