I am two days from buying a new HU. Have you heard any good things or bad things about it? Kenwood KDC-X889 I really like the looks of it and I have a kenwood sirius tuner and antenna that will fit this HU so it is convenient for me to get this unit, but is it a good HU? Thank you. Any input will help.

I view Kenwood as one of the middle of the road products. It falls in line with the likes of Pioneer, Alpine, and all the other brands you find that are competitvely priced. By the sound of it, it meets your needs and it makes you happy, go for it. Then you can give us a review on it for future reference.

I've found that a lot of people like it. They say it offers great sound quality and all the extra functions you'll need.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Ok I just ordered my HU. I will be getting at the end of next week. I was reading through the manual and damm....So many features. I hope I can get the hang of it fast. If you have experienced with this HU please give some tips on it. I will thank you very much.

Yeah, where do you think it stands?

Compare any model of theirs (aside from the f#1) to any other brand in the same price range and tell me there is a difference. A Nak cd 700ii and a Mcintosh MX406 would certainley put shame to a 9835 and 9855...Older Alpine used to be top of the line, but as far build quality and overall sound quality there definately has been a "drop"

i put alpine above kenwood and way above pioneer. and i could be a bit bias too! ive own kenwood, pioneer, sony, clairion, eclipse and even sherwood. yes i said sherwood but that was before i knew better! lol i bought my first alpine in 1992 and have never bought another brand since.
