Beyond the Road

KD-R97MBS

Hitting the trails? Spending a day on the lake? Don't do it without music, man. You've got to have the right gear, though. The KD-R97MBS is built for the elements.

Bring along your favorite CDs, stream your music digitally, or go all out and add SiriusXM to your off-road adventures. With a protective anti-rust coating and wired-remote expandability, you're good to go.


JVC KD-R97MBS

If you have a good understanding of how important your sound stage is, then you already understand Sound Lift. If not, it's just the idea of positioning your speakers to get the best possible sound out of them. Generally speaking, they sound better the closer they are to your ears. Sometimes, that's not always possible without some serious custom work. That's where Sound Lift comes in. By adjusting the frequencies, Sound Lift makes it sound like your speakers are mounted higher up, maximizing your music. It's just a simple thing that makes all the difference in the world.


JVC KD-R97MBS

You can't just leave things alone, can you? Well, good. For those who need absolute control over every band of frequencies, the KW-V240BT comes loaded with a 13-band graphic equalizer. Dial it in exactly the way you want it to sound. Set up your own presets, use the presets that come with it, do whatever you want. Only you know what sounds absolutely perfect to you. Add more bass, adjust the subwoofer level and more. You are the master of your sound.

Perfect

Full system in the making i owed JVC before and love there 13 band equalizer settings to tune crossovers better. Most after market stereos only have 6-8.

Great value

This stereo had the options that I was looking for at a great price. I know the reviews of JVC head units have not been great but since their merger with Kenwood their quality has improved. I installed this in my boat with no issues. The blue tooth paired with no problems to both my galaxy and the wife's iphone. Sound quality was good and as expected. The display is great. Crisp and bright and easy to see even in direct sun. The only con is the menu which is a little hard to navigate but I am used to the Kenwood/JVC so this is not a problem. This unit is a great value with features found it much more expensive units. The only reason for the low marks on durability is I have only had it for a month.
