Great Budget Headunit

I purchased this headunit prior to finding out about SonicElectronix and paid too much. Despite that minor detail this headunit was still a great value. I purchased this headunit because it has 3 pre-amp outputs that are 2.5v (every little bit helps) and for it's cross-over capabilities. This headunit offers HPF crossovers for front and rear seperate and a LPF cross over for the subwoofer pre-amp output. Compared to it's competing Pioneer headunits, the buttons and volume knob feel much more secure.

Great deck for the money

This deck is actually pretty pleasing. I am currently running kicker KS68's in the front and Infinity Kappa perfect 6x9's in the rear deck. I also am running a Soundstream Picasso 1000 watt RMS amp on an infinity kappa perfect 10.1D at 4 ohms at about 450 watts or so give or take. I gotta say it definitly reproduces the music quite well.

Good Deck!

I bought the Kenwood KDC-348U CD/MP3 player car stereo and must say it's a nice product, has lots of features, sounds good, and is good value for the price.

Love It

This is such a great value in a head unit. It has exactly the features that I wanted and can even control the changer that I had left from a previous setup where the headunit was stolen. The sound is outstanding, I replaced a pioneer unit and couldn't beleive the difference in sound quality.

I find the menu navigation to be pretty straight forward. I also love the fact that it has a seperate crossover adjustment available for front, rear, and sub. I cannot speak for durability as I've only had it hooked up for two days.

I'm loving it so far.

Great product!

Sound is great, plays MP3 cd's very well, big improvement in sound quality over my factory deck in a 2003 WRX.

My only complaint is the button to move folders in an MP3 CD only allows you to go up in folders, so if you go too far, you have to hit the button many times until you get around to the folder again.

top shelf sh!t

This stereo is simple for those who dont like all the "GLITZ & GLAM." in a stereo, (like me) & it basically has a built in crossover. It has power, sounds real good & again its simple to work with.

Kenwood KDC-348U Has and Does it All!

This is a perfect head unit which is very affordable that you will have your friends thinking you paid an arm and a leg for. The digital read out is so sharp, the ease of using your iPhone/iPod to the usb or Aux is a dream especially since you can change the songs the way you want. Very easy to install and like I said it's an affordable unit that sounds and looks like a million bucks!!
