So Im thinking about getting rid of the stock HK HU.

I liked the kmu555 marine I had in my street glide but want bluetooth. Id like to stick with Kenwood and am open to suggestions.

 

there's no right or wrong.

read up on the forum a bit.

2 important things:
4V pre-out (highly preferred)
EQ with more than 3 bands (i.e. Bass / Mid / Treble is not going to cut it IMHO but that's me)

otherwise, a 30 dollar Piece of Pyle (sh.t) or a 1000usd Pioneer will work.

marine grade is overrated BTW (again my opinion).
get a good rain cover (vtwin / Scosche / ...)

 

Agreed about marine grade.

Well, how do you like your 998?

 

Nevermind again. Just read that you like it.

 

I have the Kenwood KDC-X798 and although I am still learning how to use it, it seem pretty good.

 

I was looking at that one. The 399 is also one that looks ok. price is good and has the features Im looking for.

 

i have had several kenwoods over the years and they have all served me well. find the one with the features you want at the lowest price and grab it.

 

Using a Alpine CDE 147BT......Bluetooth, HD radio, CD, Pandora, sub, iPod,solid HU. Like to have next upgrade..... XM/SXm radio. Music from all genre. Kenwood, Pioneer, ALPINE are all solid. Good luck.

 

something i forgot to add. think about what you will want in your headunit. for example i wanted one with dual usb ports so i could charge my phone in one and lease a usb stick plugged into the other.

 

I put A Kenwood in my Road Glide and although it works great, you can NOT see the faceplate in the least little bit of sun... Find something with a backlight or white face...
