What do you guys think about the Kenwood KDC-MPV5025 head unit? It seems to be a good buy, but I wanted to check with you guys first, since I don't know much about stereo systems. The stereo system is going to be kept stock (except for the head unit) until this summer. Then I'm planning on two 10" subs and some components in the front. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

 

I was also looking at the other model-- the KDC-MPV8025. What is the big difference between the two. I was also interested in the Clarion ProAudio DXZ845MC. I'm leaning towards the Clarion right now. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

 

Stop! Don't do it! those Kenwood sounded crap in my Evo! Fancy and all but when it comes to pure sound, awwww horrific compared to my old Eclipse HU! It's all relative, when you're used to ultra clean pure audiophile system gimmcky HU like Kenwood, Clarion even Alpine sounds muffled up!

I'm serious, I sold my Kenwood and kept my 5yr old Eclipse HU! Now I appreciate it so much more...

 

Anyone else have an opinion? I like the Clarion alot; I saw it in a local store, but your comment concerned me (obviously ) But Alpine is considered a great brand (especially for head units) and I've heard good things about CLarion too. Thanks. Merry Christmas by the way.
