Best Kenwood I Had Thus Far

I put a MP138 in my friends Jeep and it was just okay. I had a MP208 in my Lumina and I really liked it. Now I have this MP238 in my crown vic and I absolutely love it. I have the 6982ie 6x9s and the 6x8 component set and the preamp on this thing makes people think I have a 4channel amp pushing my speakers. If you like Kenwood and don't want to break the bank this is the way to go.
