ONE OF THE BEST SINGLE DINS OUT THERE

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-X895).

Great deck comes with so many wonderful features and has amazing sound quality, it dramatically change the sound of my speakers and my sub!!!

Great unit at a great price

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-X895).

Installed this on my friends truck for him -- Solid unit, Great Sound quality, Cant beat the prices from Sonic, Only issue is that the molding for my friends jeep is too big so we will need to get a new molding kit for it (not the head-units fault). It is a VERY good looking unit and it is very grown up looking (sexy, but not childish looking). Love the color options for the units LED's! I was attracted to how this unit has the sound decoders that the higher end units have at this price. The other downer is that the Bluetooth does not seem to stream audio, but that's not really a problem because Bluetooth streaming has poor audio quality anyway. This unit is currently paired with a Stock infinity amp from jeep which drives 4 Kicker mids/tweeters and a mono block Pioneer Premier PRS-D1200SPL driving 2X 2Ohm Alpine Type R's(Vented). It sounds Really nice and the headunit also allows you to shut down the subs if you wanted to. (Toggles the RCA signal on/off) Be aware, even for me (someone who is very good with computers) this unit takes a bit of getting used to, its a good lay out but its just different.

All-in-all, A very good unit and my friend is extremely happy with this unit. Its far better from the really over priced Sony Xplod which you couldn't even switch off the demo mode so it just flashed different colors and was just really annoying.

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-X895).

This really has to be the best deck ive ever had in a vehilcle. i've had it for about a month now and havnt had a single problem so far. it has a lot of awaome features and is very user friendly. i love how its laid out and the sound quality is great. its just a very good solid unit. Sonic has very good prices and ive been very satisfied with them.
