I personally didn't get this radio off from this site, but i did but the speakers (Rockford Fosgate Punch P1462 and Rockford Fosgate P1692) from here. Even though this radio only puts out about 2/3 of the front and 1/3 of the back, there is no distortion when i turn it up to max, unless i add the bass to it (which i don't do anymore). I honestly am hesitant on buy an amp for my speakers, because the quality of the sound is to the point where it really doesn't need it. As long as you adjust the settings correctly this radio sounds amazing, can't wait to get a subwoofer to run off from this in the future.

I just received my unit unit the mail today only took 3 day to ship!
This is one of the best I've had, between the Pioneer 8200bt and the Alpine IDA-303!.. the Alpine is very good also but the Kenwood has better sound quality over alland has a lot of settings it also plays zune if you have 1

best multi media device out there!

Customer Testimonial

Talked to the representative Mike G on the phone and ordered 2 more 10C124 subs and another ZX300.1 amplifier and was very helpful and friendly with placing my order and getting it exactly how it should be. Thanks again Mike G and Sonic Electronix.
