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

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

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.

Nice deck

I bought this stereo to replace my factory stereo & as for as sound quality goes, this stereo is great. I bought it from Best Buy for $100. It does not have a sub control but has all the other features. I use my iPod mainly through the aux cable. Overall good stereo especially for replacing the stock.
