I still have a kdcx701 and I love it... I only buy kenwood excelon headunits.

[@gavinmcclure8047]

Yeah I love my 702 looking for 2 more headunit's now.

[@Bigislandguy]

I really would of like to see a full range of volume 0-34 when testing the internal amplifier. At what volume does the amplifier start to clip? I know the kdc-x304 starts to clips around volume 26, does the x704 do the same?🤔

[@hithisisneeley1590]

You set my Alexa off but its a great song so i let it play. :)

[@miguelperales5226]

gives or does not give distortion at maximum volume?

[@vernonjackson1792]

@ Quality Mobile Video question, when using the usb cable can you listen to Spotify off your phone or just BT? I see it has the Spotify feature.

[@kevinmcconville462]

How do you add more Treble? Sorry, I'm an old dude to many features to understand I think I hit the wrong EQ button. also, what's the setting is it to get the loudest sound out of this system? I just really want the loudness Treble,Bass.and mid's please help thank you

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

You will need to do a custom EQ and add on the treble end starting at 2.0KHz. Most Treble controls are at 10KHz.

For a single din kenwood seems to have made one for the people that can’t or don’t want have big screen.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

yessir

[@robbenmitchell7949]

I told they guy I wanted a simple great sounding unit. I didn't want a big fancy screen. Man, the excelon knocked my socks off. The hd stereo, daaammmnnn

[@AF_1892]

Real sound people care about sound and control. That stupid double din screen sucks. I hate them. Bam like 4 clicks of a physical button I can adjust a zillion settings. Does not require your eyes. Try that with the stupid double din deck playing Bluetooth. It's awful. I have to test out new rent cars for work. Hate them.

[@AntonioPerez-hv1lp]

[@INDYSOULPREPPER]

Can you turn off the head unit’s internal amplifier, To minimize noise when using preamps only?

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

No it's not possible but since it is under no load there is minimal added distortion.

[@AF_1892]

@@INDYSOULPREPPER this is an old thread, lol. I would just mentioned that there is an option in the deck to turn off the internal amplifier. If you leave it set on to the on position, the signal will sound okay but kind of trashy. I thought that was common knowledge but I'm guessing actually nobody even knows how wired systems work anymore.

[@zldrizzylz]

So I have a quick question and hopefully someone can get back to me about it...I have the xdm17bt car dual radio and I am wondering if I bought a better radio would it make a difference to the sound of music and stuff,I do have afternarket inside speakers wich are75 watts to each speaker and then I have a amplifier along with 2 12 inch subwoofers wich maxes out at 1000 watts

[@kevinmcconville462]

Why did TV come on and not auxiliary? How do I get rid tv mode and how do I set it side to side it’s only playing one side. I know I hit a button wrong on this head unit.

[@MrEmbedded]

Does it ramp up volume when first powered on? Does the volume knob get pressed accidently and enter menu system?

[@BCF423speed]

No other company than kenwood nowadays has a head unit I would buy , no super tuner , no Sony explod , Also whos tired of not have cool older head units like the kenwood excelon with a flip down screen , and the pioneer with the dolphins we need screens again

[@metricOIL]

Could someone help me with TERRIBLE fm reception.? I did not hook the blue Ant. Wire up- no where to hook.... but terrible reception.

[@metricOIL]

How is display in sunlight? Can it be read?

[@stuartcanty4974]

Does this have the same annoying feature when playing from USB it either shows the album and then not the title of the track or it will show the track and not the album. Its not good having to manually switch from one to the other. my previous JVC unit you pressed for next album it would display the Name then revert to scrolling trough track details.

[@EJ0966]

When is the review for the Kenwood DMX 9707S coming? I'm looking at buying it but not sure. Also have the Kicker Dual Comp R sub 12" with ported enclosure. Wanted to know if that stereo and the Kenwood KAC 9106D amp would be a good setup or should I be looking for a different Amp?

[@AF_1892]

Yes for the Kenwood mono D amp. Solid no for Kicker. The labor of installing it all. Get something better. I would have been okay with Kickers at 15-16 yrs old. They are not for performance.

Do you have to use Alexa, or can you set the voice assistant to Google Assistant or Siri?

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

It's Alexa, not Google Assistant. Siri can be used via bluetooth with your iPhone still

[@tristan_talks_tech]

@@Qualitymobilevideo Ok, thanks for letting me know! If you hold down the volume knob to make a call, does that activate your built in assistant? I just purchased a Kenwood stereo so I am just curious.

[@AF_1892]

Hey google assistant. Stop listening. I don't need or want your help. It overrides my settings more often than not. The Kenwood decks automatically answer any phone call. You don't get a choice. But very effortless/ seamless integration with your sound. I can grab my phone at a stoplight and use recent call logs to dial.

Does this radio it’s compatible with android?

[@alfredzanini]

Do you have an explanation video for the testing part? I have no idea whether those are good or bad numbers ahaha

[@CoreyReynolds24]

They are just confirming that the head unit performs as per it's claimed specs. Kenwood Excelon is a quality product with excellent sound quality that you won't be disappointed in.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Lol well it's rated at 14W RMS, which is good, but we got more power which is better. Distortion is basically unwanted noise that occurs when a stereo is being driven harder than it is made for, 1% is totally fine.

[@AF_1892]

@@CoreyReynolds24 I am disappointed with how deep I need to go to change crossover settings. While driving. I used to fine tune. Not w the Excelon decks. Demanding ppl like me change the settings every song. It sounds good but the menu needs split second adjust. If you are a competitive person this deck not enough control over everything. A regular driver would tune it and just leave it. That probably sounds good with factory speakers. Kenwood: make it like the KDC 4028. With aux input and more power. Super easy to run lots of power and adjust very fast. Make the section of all I want to adjust split. Second. P.S. Flac songs burned onto a cd sound so good. All you millennial kids are missing out.

[@CoreyReynolds24]

@@AF_1892 You need a DSP with a remote control knob like the Mosconi. If you're that picky, and you don't have a DSP, then you're missing out!

Screen mirroring is dead, Google killed it in Android 9. Use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay instead. In this video from 2019, Kenwood shows it working with an old-ass Samsung phone. Doesn't work with new phones. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6CZpaGJjd6Sp5Y

We clearly show hitting 19.80W RMS

[@SPAZWIK82]

@@Qualitymobilevideo , I could clearly see the results you got but the slide you showed the rated watts were 14 and results were 19.8. The spec sheet for the HU says 22 watts rms x 4. I was wondering where you got the 14 watts rated because I haven’t seen that spec before.

[@BobbyLips]

It would be nice if the Bluetooth mic wasn't the usual generic stuff. Does anyone make a decent mic with noise cancellation?

[@AF_1892]

No. The road/engine noise is a lot to overcome. My 03 Ford Lightning is a little quieter after insulating cab w Dynamat©. Old Kenwood deck still works. I got a deck like this to celebrate no more stolen gear. The adapter the aux input jack got messed up. My mono bass amp has been shocked by capacitor wires. I resoldered it and know circuits. The head unit similar to this. I can only get the volume up to level 6 very disturbing to everyone. The mid Rockford Fosgate amp is stroking out. The Rockford subs (just 10's) I blew those. Got the next punch series. I was spoiled with just a 15' Rockford sub. Ported box in a hatchback. A single cab pickup much limits you. My first rig bass amp was pioneer and the deck was too. Physics PhD from college taught me so much. He built the ported box to specs. Makes a difference. He managed to build a box for his 15' single cab. Once you go 15 you can't go back.

Why does the Kenwood volume only go to 35?

[@Strahan740i]

Dunno, but why does it matter? It's not like Kenwood 35 is less than another brand's 50. It's a relative scale to the power level. It just means if it has a lower top number than another manufacturer; there is less "resolution" in each step of the volume control. But it doesn't mean it's going to be quieter. I could make a 5000W sound system have a 20 max volume range, and just because 20 is less than 35 it doesn't mean the Kenwood will be blowing the doors off the 5000W system lol

[@donnronnbagger1727]

Ok this is probably gonna be another funny question that you get all the time lol, but please I need some real professional help on this one. I went with the Smart 3 amp, it's got an RMS rating of 3,000w RMS @ 1ohm .... 3,000w RMS @ 2ohm ... 2,000w RMS @ 4ohm ... And I got the Skar ZVX 15" and it's rated at 1,500w RMS ... So being you have the knowledge to understand I made a little mistake here, if I wanted things to be simple, but there is a way to load this to make it work.? I'm getting bad info from people who are the ""just send it"" type of people. But I prefer to be safe, and I want to load it correctly so I don't burn anything up.? Can you go teacher mode for a minute with me to explain how I can do this?

[@joekennonmagnetizedmindz2233]

As long as you use your clip light it won't hurt the sub just it to not clip and lpf all the way down to the left and just use your gain ..set your eq flat and bassboost off and louds off on headunit you can turn the headunit up to 31 with out the headunit clipping if you have this headunit or the x304 then turn up your gain on the amp till it's not clipping using a -10 .40hz db test tone or a -5 db 40 hz test tone. turn it up till the amp clips then back it down till it stops and it should be good to go ...just watch the clip monitor and adjust to your music with the sub level on head unit to stop the clipping from up front
