Reviews for iPod Ready Receivers

"pretty much all of kenwood's products are good stuff...i have also have good sound from cerwin vegas(pricey), jl audio, and infinity(aluminum cone) speakers...you'd be amazed what a difference a 4 channel amp makes on a set of good speakers..." read more »

"Because it's a free floating knob, you an easily over shoot and miss the input you wanted to flip to...I already have a trunk full of stuff (Dual eclipse subs, rockford amp, 1 farad cap, a 2-way xover, and a line-input adapter, and an old-school epicenter) so it's rather silly that I have all this stuff for bass, and still stock speakers and head unit...There is also no USB input on the front of the kenwood..." read more »

"HD Radio Lots of features Little less power if you are looking at this radio directly driving your speakers Its a good CD Player, with HD Radio...There are lot of features to control external Amplifier, and the EQ options are good...its a good stereo if you just want something normal without many complecities..." read more »

"Just installed this radio in my boat - works great and nicely powers 4 speakers (kenwood) - I highly recommand it - especially at the price I had looked around for this product at various stores and online...Great product and I would highly recommend this etailer...This unit sounds good but it does not allow you to control the ipod while you are listening to it..." read more »

"With Built-in Bluetooth, MP3/WMA/AAC support, direct iPod control, a front USB input, and a wealth of sound-shaping features, Clarion's CZ509 CD receiver is a powerful system to begin with...The CZ509 features an anti-theft, flip-down detachable faceplate featuring a 13 x 10 two-line, high-visibility LCD...Good Stereo, could be easier to use in some places...The blue tooth is GREAT, sound is good and the INCLUDED External Mic really makes it work better than those stereos that have it on the faceplate..." read more »

"The low outputs are voltage unstable also and pop every time......" read more »

"pioneer DEH-P4100UB vs premier DEH-P410UB - CarAudioForum.com...For years pioneer has expressed there is a difference, but my friend had his DEH-P7400MP (2 volt) out of his car, and dropped in a DEH-P740MP (4 volt) as a replacement...The interconnects will cost more then the usual $20 difference between the 2, so if you are looking for the iPod access you want the Premier..." read more »

"If so, you more than likely have not heard about the JVC KD-HDR50...However, if this is not enough, another interesting feature of the JVC KD-HDR50 is the capability of connecting your iPod or iPhone to the USB in order to charge the device while you play them...Other minor complaints are that the buttons on the face are minimal, but that is it..." read more »

"The KW-XG500’s Front AUX Input provides easy connection with digital audio players and other external devices...JVC’s KW-XG500 is a great replacement for your stock double-DIN unit, with CD/MP3/WMA playback, a front auxiliary input, iPod and Satellite Radio Capability, and front and rear preamp outputs for system expansion...Enjoy your favorite CDs or burnt CD-R/RWs, or get more bang for your buck with MP3/WMA discs–burn hours of music to one disc and get ID3-TAG support for display of artist and song info...With a 50W x 4 MOSFET amplifier, the KW-XG500 is ready to rock, but if you’d like to add onto the system, two preamp outputs are provided for setting up external amps..." read more »

"I used to install car stereos for 6 years and this is the best, hands down, bargain for the quality and performance...The JVCs were actually pretty nice with one common exception...It hosts a bunch of features for the cost, is very quick, and owns the best display of all the units I tested..." read more »
