Satisfied!

Was looking for a simple head unit with 3 outputs and this fit the bill (5v outputs at that). Buttons are simple and do not have multi-function, which I prefer. Cannot speak to the longevity of this product as I have just installed it, but I am very pleased with what I have seen so far! Sonic also offered a discounted price on a new dash mount kit and pigtail which I did not need because I’m replacing an aftermarket unit. I took advantage anyways and installed it with the new mounting accessories. This resulted in a much cleaner install over using my old materials.

Didn't come with the correct equipment

The wire harness I got didn't connect to the amp I had and the mounting kit I received also didn't fit. The stereo itself works nicely, I just had to make a few extra purchases myself.

Great unit

Great unit the only thing doesn't have remote eye for rc 406 remote you have to download remote app which can be dangerous while driving. I had to swap the 305 to the 705 which is the same unit 25 dollars more but now I can use my rc 406 remote with it. Remote doesn't come with the unit had to order it separate. 12 bucks online.

Sounds great

Many features. Internal crossover. You can set door speaker and sub size, vehicle size, all kinds of things.

Sounds good. Subs sound tighter than they ever have. I recommend this. Good clean sound.
That 5v preamp out works well

Great Value

5V pre outs, front, rear, and sub rca outputs. Got it on sale for under $150. Definitely sounds better than the cheap Kenwood I was using before.

Exelente auto stereo. lo compre por $145 con un cupon de sonicelectronics, la calidad de audio es muy buena, lo que mas me gusto es que las salidas de los RCA son de 5v. Con poquito volumen se escuchan duro mis amplificades. he tenido pioneers, alpines y kenwood regulares, pero de aqui en adelante solo voy a comprar stereos excelon.

Great power

Great output and extras. A bit of a learning curve for me but figured it out. Lots of goodies. I recommend if you’re looking for something that doesn’t take up half your dash or if you are installing for outdoor use. Many display colors

We came upon this great site!

My wife found this great site online when we were looking for a stereo for our newly acquired vehicle. We didn't really want to be driving all over creation and deal with salespeople so I checked out Sonic Electronix, what a find! The website was easy to navigate and once I entered my vehicle BOTABING I had plenty of quality brands and models to choose from with the features that we wanted! We chose a Kenwood KDC-X305. It arrived in a few days and the installation went perfectly! The harness that interfaced my particular vehicle was free! I had a couple of questions and they were answered by the friendly knowledgable staff! It sounds and looks great! Needless to say I will be looking to this company for all my stereo needs for my cars or home! Thanks again!

Super solid stereo

Stereo looks good, sounds great, easy to navigate, and just looks clean over all. Have it running with a separate car play unit above in an 8th gen honda accord. Thanks again guys!

Kenwood Excelon is just right for my needs

Has 3) 5v pre outs, time alignment, 13 band eq etc etc.. all the features you can get in a single din unit! The only complaint is the last one I purchased couldn't withstand the abuse of 155+ DB in my truck. ???? But it lasted me 2 years.. it's a very good unit, not meant to take the abuse I give them lol
