Great product as usual from Kenwood.

This unit is very nice and exactly what I'd expect from a conpany that I've run for the last 12 years for head units. However the website has it listed at a 4V out, but it's only 2.5V. Maybe Sonic will fix the specification sheet on the listing. The controls are very user friendly and easy to navigate the menus. The sound quality is also very good, but I'm running a Fosgate T400-4 to two sets of components. This deck is a very good choice for its price and I'd buy it again and recommend to friends.

Replaced Sandard Radio

The product is great and it was easy to put in the new radio and it came with all of the parts for just about any model of truck. Thank you for a great product.

Kenwood KDC-HD552U

Very good radio. Does what it's supposed to. The HD radio works very well in areas where you can pick up HD signal. Only bad thing is that the display screen is hard to read when the sun is shining.

Great price for all it features.

This is a very user friendly head unit. I love the 3 RCA outputs, front USB/AUX, and the wide variety of audio controlls it offers. Looks, sounds and performs flawlessly. Great value.

Awesomeness in the making

This head unit is awesome, i put it in my 2005 honda accord sedan V6, kenwood is awesome, i have kenwood 5-1/2s, Tweeters, 6X9s, and two 12" subs all kenwood and the headunit, the head unit is great with subwoofer level to the look of the actual head unit. Louder then the factory radio in the car i had, the bass boost is massive, i always recommend Sonic and kenwood products thanks again, the dash kit fit perfect with the wiring harness.

great value / great product

i have a small fleet of cars in my family and i have been using Kenwood for the last 10 years. these have been the best bang for your buck that i have ever used. i have not had any issues and my oldest deck is 8 years old. the remote is losing its finish and works great. Kenwood still uses the same wiring harness as the oldest deck that i have. ease of installation is simple and the instructions are accurate.

HD Radio

This HD unit tunes stations in well. Sound is crisp. I have this unit pushing RF R165 6.5" door speakers and RF P1692 6x9" in the rear decklid. At 22w per channel the 6.5 sound great. The 6x9 sound good but can use more power to get the full potential. All in all great unit for the price. Would definitely recommend.
