Great Product

This HU is very easy to use and the usb connection is very fast even with my a 30gb ipod.

Great Product

The Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X592 is great. the look and the sound quality is amazing. Its real cheap here thats what I like about it I had went to the store and seen the same product for a hundred dollars more so its a deal here.

Quality Headunit

I bought this deck for two reasons: it has a pleasing, minimally designed faceplace, and it has 4V preamp outs.

I never use the FM tuner or CD player, so no comments there, but the AUX input is clean and the USB iPod interface is well designed. Its easy to browse through gigabytes of music with the 3-line display.

The left control knob takes a little getting used to; it spins, clicks, and is a 4 way joystick. You'll need to play around for a week until you're able to control it without thinking.

The blue lights on the bottom and top of the faceplate can be turned off, and all of the flashing effects can be disabled also. The novelty wore off quickly.

Overall, a typically sound product from Kenwood, I'd recommend it to anybody who doesn't want fourty thousand tiny plastic buttons on their stereo.

awesome price

great product,fast shipping.I will and have recommended this site to everyone i know.

Excelent service

This is the first product I bought from Sonic and it's been a great experience. I live in Cali so I get the order the next day without paying hte overnight fee....Sweet! The product itself is great. Not too fancy but has all the bells and whistles I needed. I no longer need to waste blank CD's. the USB is awesome.

Great deck

I replaced my old deck with the x591 and it was night and day difference. This deck is great . I'm thinking about upgrading to the 9 series. Can't go wrong with Kenwood! I paid 60 bucks for mine off of ebay. What a deal! Don't know much about the filters and all that, but it sounds great without an amp.

Pretty Good For the Money

I like this deck mainly because it looks good in the dashboard, and it hooks up to the ipod. I actually have the Ipod Touch, and it works great with this stereo. Also, you can adjust the subwoofer levels if you have subs in your car. Every now and then it has trouble reading my burned cds, but i hardly even use cds anymore since it has a usb cord.

Totally happy

The unit performs the way I hoped it would and more. Scrolling though USB lists without interrupting the music, beautiful clarity, classy aesthetics. I would have paid $100 more than I did knowing now how happy I am with it. That's how good of a deal I received here! I need to read the manual and learn how to save a programmed EQ setting, but as much as each of my songs vary in "what sounds good" I find I am constantly tweaking the EQ (thats not a bad thing, and the unit makes it really easy). I still don't understand why its so cheap, but I have not bought a new head unit in 4 years.

EDITOR NOTE: WE BOUGHT A HUGE CLOSEOUT ON ALL KENWOOD IN-DASH RECEIVERS. THE RETAIL PRICE IS A LOT MORE THAN OUR NEW CLOSEOUT PRICE :).

Looks as good as it sounds,

I've tried a number of other head units in my car, each with varying results, but the eXcelon X592 seems to do everything right.

The sound quality on the X592 is top-notch, and with every adjustment you can come up with, as extensive as low and high pass filtering. The onboard amp is incredibly efficient and clean sounding, even at high volume. There are plenty of outputs for lots of expansion.

The USB playback recognized my 4GB USB flash drive and the entire library on it with ease. You can even adjust the individual volume levels of the sources.

Navigation through your songs is very intuitive, although sometimes, it takes time for the track names and folders to show up when you're scrolling through songs.

Having the aux input and usb in the back of the unit is a welcome feature, as it makes connections to your accessories very clean and discrete. The display is easy to read and customizable Some people complain that the animations are distracting, but I feel they give the X592 some personality.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this unit, it surpasses all of my expectations.

Awesome HU

the amount of tweaking you can do at this price point is great. it plays just about any kind of disc no problem! I love the high and low pass filters.

The only 2 downsides is (very minor!) that its a bit tricky to set everything up the first time like the clock, filters, and the balance/fade. the other downside is if the sun is shining directly onto the display you cannot read it very well.

Otherwise I'd recommend it for any level of system you have in your car

Kenwood KDC-X592

A+++ on product quality and delivery

Very Nice

This is a kick ass cd player. It has all kind of different frequency adjustments. Separate woofer adjustments. The cd player also puts out great sound.

Great

Installed this receiver in my Jeep Wrangler and I love it. I connected this to my ipod and works perfect. No problems yet. I would recommend this receiver to anyone. Only downside I could find is that I was not able to figure out how to view both the time and the title at the same time.

excelent

This is an amazing head unit its play the music clear and loud. Im amazed with it. The best feature in my opinion is the three pre amp out puts at 4 volts its the only radio in the price range that can brag to have this. The controls are simple and the motorized face plate is really cool. Would totally reccomend this product if you want a no frills sick head unit.

Not bad...

I have a Jeep Cherokee with a decent system. the Hifonics Zues 500Wx2 amp running 2 Kenwood KFC-W3514DVC subwoofers. i also have 2 6x9s in boxes powered by 2 little amps i got for free. i have 6x9s in the back hatch and 2 5-1/4s in the front door.
i upgraded to this from a $60 dollar p**-**** head unit. im not to thrilled with it. the internal amp runs extreamly hot...but sounds good. the rca outputs were not grounded to the chassis of the stereo, so i got a lot of noise from that. also i had a lot of noise problems. so i ran a dedicated positive and dedicated negative from my battery to the head unit. it helped but still get a lot of alternator wine. so i grounded the chassis of the radio directly to negitive and that got rid of more.
i also have a loud POP every time i change the cd track.... i have more work to do. but i have a feeling that some of the noise may be coming from the 6x9 amps.
other then the slight noise problem...it sounds really good. i love all of the options and the ability to change all of the settings. it is really like an mp3 that has a radio and CD player in it.
and it is hard to get used to... no buttons but lots of directions to push the knobs.

Awsome Deck

This deck was a big upgrade from my old factory deck. The sound difference was amazing. I also love the usb and aux inputs. It might take a little to getting use to, but other than that this deck is awesome.

Great stereo and service

So, just today I got this Kenwood Excelon deck, 3 things about it, Great price, Great service (3rd day after order, deck was here) And awesome deck, full of features, and quality, afterall it is Kenwoods Excelon line, and the price, You CANT go wrong, $139 was a killer deal

Just installed one in my Matrix and the sound is just absolutely awesome, even though I don't have H/Q speakers. The KCA-IP200 cable works perfectly, (Need to update the firmware of the receiver in order for the new Ipod Classic, Nano and Itouch to be fully compatible).

awsome quality

i bought this rciever because i had a tight budget and could not afford much more. it is very appealing to the eye and the pictures don't do it justice. the only down fall with this product is that in direct sunlight the sceen is barely visible and when the volume is turned up past 24-25 u can see the screen dim slightly every time the bass hits. I believe that this is happening because i'm running 4 kicker speakers directly off the recievers built in amp and their pulling alot of juice. i hope to eventually hook up an amp to the back speakers.All in all this reciever puts out great sound whether you are listening am/fm or a cd. GREAT BUY FOR THE MONEY!!!!!
