Well I don't know much about car stereo systems, but I am looking for a good head unit priced under, say $350...I am looking into Kenwood because that's all the dealer in my town sells..any suggestions?
Alpine and pioneer seem to be the most frequently recomended brands for head units on this discussion group. onlinecarstereo.com has pretty good prices on both.
I got a KDC-X979 (Great head unit) off of ebay brand new for a buy it now price of $289 and you said you were looking for a Kenwood, so I think you might want to check it out. It shipped in two days from Texas to Nebraska. Seller was ABCcarstereo.com I believe.
