| Syntax's Full Review: Kenwood KDC-X711 CD Receiver Camcorder |
It takes a good bit to impress me on a car stereo. This model by Kenwood is very nice. With the auto hiding faceplate, the electronic switch within the menu to change you button illumination, plenty power, clean sound even on factory speakers, no skipping in the trucks Ive installed in.
This stereo is overall a great one. Ive seen the poor quality and the superior quality and this one ranks up there almost in the best. It installs very cleanly and nice looking in an Explorer. I was impressed how nice it looked in a 97 Explorer. I connected a changer to it, and have been on several trips and rides without any skips or problems.
This was installed into a friends truck, and when it came time for me to buy a new stereo, I seriously considered finding one of these. I like color on my display, but more importantly I look at sound quality first, and most importantly how well the stereo handles skip protection.
This stereo ranks high on all 3 things. It has CD Text Support, allows you to name your Radio Stations, it has tons of small features that just make it impressive and a pleasure to use.
I would recommend this stereo to anyone who wants something a little flashy, but still nice looking, wants quality and reliability, great sound quality and plenty of power, and an over all nice stereo no matter what your application is.
This is an ideal stereo for those with factory speakers, who will in the future replace them, and possibly add an amplifier. Because this would be the first step, and it would power them just as well as new speakers, and then power them even better when an amp is added.
I say if you have the 140.00 extra to spend on this stereo rather than a very CHEEP one buy it. Its about 40.00 more than most of the Good stereos. What do you expect for so many features and so much reliability on a name brand.
I dont think anyone would be dissapointed with it.
