looks good so far. just curious, why did you pick the Kenwood KIV over the KDC excelon models?

 

Well, prior to ordering the KIV, I did not realize that it was not an Excelon model (although it does have pretty much all the goodies). My reason for choosing the KIV was due to the screen and fact that all the iPod connections would be on back and hidden. The headunit that I really wanted was one of the Pioneer audiophile grade units for SQ which retail for about $1500.

 

are you talking about the new DEXP99RS

Yes...talking about the new Pioneer DEX-P99RS. Do you have any experience with or opinion about that particular headunit or something comparable.

 

I have that headunit but I havent installed it yet, I still have to get a few more misc items to complete my system. I also have the DEH P880RS in my 240sx and it sounds phenomenal especially for the price. I like pioneers interface its easy to understand and setup. The main reason I decided to go with the P99RS is because it supports 4 way active and its easily the most beautiful headunit on the market.
