I recently picked up a JVC KD-AX77 DVD deck back in late May:
The deck is cool, great features, alot of expandability, the eq was great and the ability to adjust individual speaker level, size, distance etc was awesome. This was the best deck I've had in a while...
Until it stop providing me sound. I was able to get sound to all my speakers in my door panels (tweeter, 4", 6") and rear speakers (6 1/2") but my subs stopped working (2 10" Alpine type r's). The subs sounded like they were blown and just overall produced a horrible sound. I went thru testing, checking, and replacing a bunch of stuff, from getting a new sub, new amps, checking wires, rechecking, changing wires until I gave up.
I got so frustrated, I ripped out the deck and went and bought this:
Kenwood KIV-BT900. I like it so much more then the JVC. Only 'downfall' would be there is no cd player...but who plays cd's nowadays?
So if anyone is looking for a 'higher-end' deck...pick up the Kenwood.
I know have to try and get JVC to replace this deck thru warranty.
