Like promised kenwood KDC-X889 review

Ok sorry for the delay on the review guys. I have been trying to fully test this HU. Here we go.

Kenwood KDC-X889

Looks: This unit looks very high end nice chrome accents and a very nice shine to it. Blue lights cover the background of the volume knob and the control knob. Also red buttons that can be switched to green. The screen has a very nice crisp look to it. The only bad things I found about the screen is that when sun is directly hitting it, you are unable to read anything in the screen. Even with the different angles that you can adjust the screen, it's still all blury. But not a big deal.

Performance: I am in shock. This unit has sooooo many options for sound quality, sound filtering and sound delaying is not even funny. I have yet to understand every single one of them. But I am getting there though. It has a crossover for front, rear and sub. This is very nice when installing a set of 6x9's in the back and components with a crossover in the front. This way you can just use the units crossover for the reaer speakers. I am very happy about this feature.

You can select the type of vehicle you have in order to have the best sound performance in your speakers, anywhere from full size car to wagons.Pretty cool. Also has a speaker selection to, again, have the best sound out of your speakers. This feature even includes the subwoofers.

This uinit has many displays already in the memory but is fully capable of downloading new ones in there for your favorite display. Wallpapers, movies and the famous G-Analyzer. The G-Analyzer is very fun. It is very easy to set up and you will find yourself driving crazyer in oreder to see all the G-Forces your can can produce(be very carfull when driving though)

The sound that my factory speaker had with this Hu was amazing. I have never had a Hu that did sucha thing. Now when I installed the components in the front and the coaxials in the back. WOW. I was in shock. I feel like I am driving inside a very high end sound performance vehicle. I mean this is so far the best sounding set I have had.

This HU is very user friendly. At the beginig might be some what intimidating because of all of the features but give about one week and you should be almost a pro at using all of the features in there. Easy to read menus and displays.

I has a feature that names all of your folders and albums or artist's when you are switching fro folder to folder. I really like this feature since I can change folders without having to look at the HU. I just heard them. hahahaha. Kinda cool. You can turn it off if you do not like it.

Over all I am very pleased with this HU. The only two flaws that I found was that the screen gets extremly hard to read whe the sun hits it and that cd's take about 10-20 secs to read. But not big problems. I will definetly recomend this unit to everyone.

Sorry I did not cover every single feature of the HU, but there are to many to list.  I hope this helps.

If you have a specific question about the HU let me know and I will try to answer as fast as I can.
