I just put that same head unit in my car, it will work fine. Check the FAQ it will give you the part #s of the other items you will need. Oh, and by the way, that H/U is $100 cheaper on e-bay!

I know, I just didn't want to give out the ebay link :0, even though the one I found was a factory-refurbished..
I am very curious what you think about the head unit, and how the rest of your system is (what you have)..I want as much review as possible, as Im always hesitant about changing things in my car.
thx.

As far as the H/U goes I am very happy with it. Alot of people on the board seem to have Alpines or Pioneers, as do a number of my friends, But I did some some research and found that, for the money, the kenwood was a good bang for the buck. It has all the options I was looking for, 3 RCA outs at 5 volts, WMA, EQ, crossover, aux input, and a ton of other stuff.
I have 2 amps hooked to it, old rockfords, still kickin'. A 2 channel bridged to 1 to power my sub, ( jl 10w3v2-D2) in a jl stealth box. I also have a 4 channel to power my doors and sail panels. I have Infinity kappa components in the doors, and kappa coaxs in the sails. I think the system is pretty slammin'. The difference between what I have now, and what I had,(stock monsoon) is night and day.
Good luck with your install, any other questions let me know I'll give all the advice I can.

So this headunit will be fine to buy if im only going to have a 10" sub *stealth location, with 1 amp? Any recommendations on things to do for my system?

Yes you will need the antenna adapter, wiring harness, and the H/U mounting kit, with any H/U you buy. Unless maybe you get one of the Larger H/U (din and a 1/2?) I have never had one of these so I'm not sure. But for the most part you will need those parts. Should only be like $45. If you order from crutchfield I think they throw in that stuff.
