Kenwood Head Units.

[bengascoyne]

Hi,

I'm basically looking for peoples experiences either good or bad with Kenwood head units, a friend who runs a car audio/alarm company near my home has offered me a good price for the Kenwood KDC-PSW9527, which I believe to be one of the best head units on the market at the moment.

Any comment on your own personal opinions of Kenwood would be greatly appreciated, especially if you have a similar (or in fact the H/U in question).

thanks a lot!

Ben.

I have the above head unit and it's been fitted now for about 6 mths with no problems
It really makes a difference in the sound quality, you shouldn't have any problems with Kenwood

Can't comment myself, I'm a Sony man *hears Mikey coughing and spiting* because I've gt ver a 100 MiniDiscs.

It'll no doubt depend on Models and prices.

I know in Chicks car he put some Kenwod components and Clarion components.

Cheers.

I suppose I was wanting to compare the Clarion 748 & the Kenwood 9027 that Mikey has installed in Chicks car.

I Pagered Mikey earlier but no reply. This is the second one I have sent him and I've yet to get a responce.

RE JCW seats - I did ring up JCG's but Cool New were selling them so it was fair game asking them.

Fair point!

They have 2 sets on order for me at the moment. Both Half leather, one set Black/Red (my original order) but been told 12 weeks more! And Black/Black, like ben which took 2 weeks.....its been 2 weeks now, so whichever arrive first I'm having! Im hopig its red.....but I want them 5 weeks ago!

As for Mikey, he is a busy man, may want to ring him TBH, he does get a lot of queries with no sales involved so bare with him. Its also hard to say which unit is best, as a lot of it may just be his preference...like he hates Sony...not that it stopped him installin it in my car!

12 week wait is ridiculous. Where are they getting them from? China? I think if I got the JCW seats it'd be all cloth, I've been told that they come in 1/2 lapis blue.

RE Mikey, I understand he's busy but a reponse would be nice. It’s just he mentioned a Group buy for Clarion a while back and I’m curious to know if it’s still going to happen. I’ve still got a Wave Radio so I’m desperate to change. I’m also tempted by his Kenwood package so I was just wondering which he thought was the better unit.
