Kenwood KDC-138

Good product

This is a good entry level head unit. The sound quality is everything you'd expect from a kenwood product. It's good for someone who wants a simple head unit without all the bells and whistles.

good inexpensive upgrade

Like the title, its good inexpensive upgrade over a stock stereo. like the subwoofer control and the aux input is always great feature.
cant go wrong with the price

Perfect for basic necessities!

I bought this to install in my old '85 Jeep CJ-7, and my biggest draw was simple and that I could plug my iPod into into it. It works like a charm and I've attached two Kicker 08KS5250 in the front and two MTX (same size) in the back, and as loud as the road noise and engine are in my Jeep I can still hear my music quite clearly! Very satisfied overall with the head unit and system altogether.

Great Stereo

Installed the Kenwood into my alero. The sound quality is great and clean. Controls for non subwoofer use are easy to use. Subwoofer settings is kinda hidden but read the manual and you will figure it out. I have a MA Audio 15in Subwoofer I ran off of this head unit and it sounded great. I have had this head unit for 2 years but recently it seems that water or snow melted and fell through the vent holes on the top of the unit and destroyed its filter. Now I hear some strange engine noises in the speakers. Other then that I have never had any issues.
I recommend this unit to anyone. Its cheap, sounds great, good features, and operates well with subwoofers. Sonic Electronix also ships fast and has great prices.

Kenwood deck

I really like this deck, the only problem is to get to the settings you really have to read the manual; because a lot of the categories you use to control the bass and treble for example are controlled by only two buttons but you have to push four buttons to get to then. Other than that it is a fantastic deck

Good sound.

Great sound for the money. Good tuner. Skip free CD playback. Only drawback is that the buttons are small and the lettering is hard to read from a normal seating position. Once you learn the functions of each, not much of a problem, but I occasionally hit the wrong button. Clock display is also small but pretty easy to read.

Great Price Great Product

this is a great inexpensive kenwood cd player,mp3 player. For the price you cant go wrong. Sonic Electronix is one of the best if not the best place to get your electronic items for less.

So-So purchase

The Kenwood KDC-138 is a good CD player if youre looking for something quick and non expensive. It works well, but the quality of the face isn't very modern looking. It takes a while for the sound to come if you change the source (i.e changing from a CD to radio--takes several seconds before it plays the radio). But other than that it is a good quality CD player, afterall it is a Kenwood.

Awesome Stereo

Let me first say that I have only ever had 1 other after market CD player in a car, so my review needs to be taken with a grain of salt. That said, I love this deck. Its tough to find a deck for less than $80 that plays a cd with burned mp3's on it. This deck also lets you customize highs, mids and lows, something else I liked. I liked it so much I bought a 2nd for my wifes car. I have only had them a few months but so far, no problems with either deck.

Wonderful radio

Very simple radio. Sounds great every thing works well. Would be a great buy for anyone.
