For those of you who said that the screen is to hard to see in the sunlight all you have to do is set the screen to positive. As for my comments I was at first reluctant to buy this unit due to my previous headunit was the DDX6019. It sounded decent but the controls for sound quality made little difference.The X693 blows it out of the water hands down. I am really impressed with this unit it made a huge improvement in sound quality with the same equipment that i was using with the DDX6019.
Here is my setup, Kenwood 9104D, Kenwood 8404, two Kenwood 3012, Kicker Ds series 6x9 and focal components for the front stage.
Thanks sonicelectronix for great products and prices with excellent customer service!!!!!!

bought this thing for the usb and aux inputs and well the cd player on my oem unit went out.
i love it. controls do take some getting used too like others have said but there are allot of settings for sound, display and inputs. the controls for the radio presets are kinda lacking but they'll make do.
you cant return to the previous track if you using folder randomize. definitely a negative there. i really like ipod controls as well.
i cant find too many negatives about this headunit. overall a great buy. do suggest.

My friend just ordered one of those eXcelon KDC-X693, and I hooked up for him, the only thing I have to say is wow, amazing look it change the color, so you can match inside of your car, give's you everything you need from this HU, and the price on the sonicelectonix is pretty low for this product, but if you want to spend more money and have the highest value from eXcelon get the KDC-X993 pretty much is the same as KDC-X693 but it give you more features to use.

This sleek unit is simply wonderful.It requires a little getting used to the controls, but it's features and hi-voltage outputs make adding an amp painless as far as the headunit is concerned. Great piece.

I bought this head unit for its E.Q. options as well as the USB input. i love this radio, it tunes my subs and door speakers perfectly because of its built in cross-over and speaker size features. the controls are a bit advanced for people new to audio, however, if you know what your doing its easy to use and its simple enough to get the perfect sound
