About Kenwood

Why we install Kenwood.

Kenwood is the most-installed CarPlay/Android Auto head unit in our shop, and there's a reason for it. The DMX and DDX series are bulletproof: fast boot, accurate touchscreen, stable Bluetooth, and a UI that customers understand on the first drive. The eXcelon line steps up with better DSP, larger displays, and dual-cam inputs for backup-and-dashcam combo installs. Kenwood KFC component and coaxial speakers are solid factory-replacement upgrades that move the sound forward without requiring an amp upgrade. The brand has a deep catalog of OEM-look upgrade radios at the mid-tier price point, which makes Kenwood a frequent recommendation for stock-look CarPlay retrofits on 2014+ vehicles. P-series amplifiers are mid-tier workhorses, and the KFC-W subs are well-tuned for daily-driver duty in pre-fab or custom enclosures. Our shop installs Kenwood units across daily drivers, trucks, family SUVs, and classic builds, they hold up well in the field. Lifetime install workmanship guarantee on every Kenwood build.
