Big on features, great on sound!

Replaced the stock deck in my BMW M Roadster with the KDC-X993. This deck surpassed all expectations. Installation literally took minutes, the features are many and excellent. The sound out of the nine stock speakers is unreal compared to the stock unit. Night and day, actually. It took awhile to learn how to utilize all the features and program. Only complaint, which I have not figured out how to resolve, is the music from my iPhone mutes out after a minute if I have it plugged into the USB cord after vehicle startup. Only resolve is unplug iPhone from USB and re-plug it in. Overall, it's an outstanding unit, clean, uncluttered design and amazing sound.

Great Buy!!!!

This Head Unit has everything you could possibly want. I went from the Kenwood HD942u to this and the SQ is like night and day. You also have control over your music like you wouldn't believe. The only bad thing I have to say about this unit is the lack of a strong pre-out voltage. But to the average user that won't matter, Once you learn the controls, which are like the Hd942U, you are good to go.

Great Features!!

What a load of features in a very affordable unit. It has all of the adjustability I need to run a 3 or 4 way system using it's built in crossovers and equalizer settings and still provides above average sound quality.

Pro's: Crossover flexibility, three RCA pre-amp outputs, multiple color display options, good sound quality, USB input, IPOD control flexibility, built in equalizer, separate speaker placement and type adjustments for the ultimate in sound quality flexibility. Included blue-tooth connectivity.

Con's: The remote is almost a must use, the two knob operation is decent, but without the remote some things are difficult to use while driving. The massive amounts of controls and options makes getting through the various menus difficult until you learn the more common ones. The Bluetooth doesn't work well for me, but I drive a loud full size Ford Bronco and have not yet plaid with the various gain settings yet, which may help.

I recommend this unit to: Those on a budget that require an equalizer, crossover, IPOD connection options and bluetooth.

Great Sound

This head unit does everything I wanted. Great Sound with 3 pre-outs. Good Bluetooth compatibility and a rear USB port for IPOD control. The only problem I have with it is the user interface can be difficult to learn. It is hard to shift between radio stations. Other than that I would recommend this unit to anyone. I am an avid Kenwood fan, and they delivered on this one.

Great Sound, Options, and Display!

You can make this receiver do anything you want and then some. The controls can be a bit confusing, but are not as bad as some reviews say. Definitely one of the best receivers’ I have used and I would recommend it to everyone except for individuals that are susceptible to having seizures. If you turn on the setting to coordinate the color and blinking of the display with the beat of music it can almost make a ordinary person have a seizure, ha-ha. GREAT PRODUCT & WORTH THE MONEY!

kenwood kdc 993 stereo

If you want a nice stereo buy this one you will not be disappointed. for the money you cant beat it and the quality is top notch. The only think is there is a lot of options to use and it takes some time to the hang of it but it is well worth the price.

Love the Sound Quality and Colors

Got a 40 gig external hard drive under the seat hooked up to this thing. Words are easy to read at night with reflection very hard to read. Sq choices are preset. cannot choose and boost frequency (can only boost 5 pre-chosen frequencies). Decent choices however, built in crossovers allow me to not need to touch my amps. Low and high passed at 24dbls and down.

excellent head unit

i've read some complaints about the menu, navigation not so user friendly. well it's cake. if you have had a couple of head units in the past few years this will be easy for you to work with. i didn't even read the manual for anything. it's not hard to figure stuff out. this unit has a sleek look and lights up really nice at night. sound settings has everything you need. excellent product.! 5 stars

Great sound good deck

First time buying a deck since 1992. What a difference. So many options and settings. All I wanted was a good deck with 4V pre outs and bluetooth + sat radio built in. This fit all my parameters and I am happy with it so far. 5 months.

Great for the price! Excellent SQ

Great unit, the bluetooth is a great feature. Has great flexibility and raw sq from the low impedance preouts.
Only bad thing i can think of is scrolling through an iPod take a min.

Don't hesitate on this deck, i was debating between the 600 series and this is definitely the better buy

The display setting was perfect!
