Is this Kenwood Car Stereo + Amp decent?

[mercyseat]

Hi,

I inherited this stereo when I purchased my donor R33 to fix mine and just tossing up if its worth installing into my car or is it out dated and not worth the pain.?

The specs on both seem pretty decent but the CD receiver is missing the remote. The power amplifier is pretty good for 1000 watts max output.

If its old and out dated I'll just sell it and buy a newer stereo.

2. 2008 Kenwood KAC-8104D power amplifier

It's a bit hard for someone to give you an answer if you don't tell them what you already have. I'm fairly certain its better than an old tape player out of a Kingswood, But probably not as good as a brand new high end Alpine unit etc.

As for the Amp, if you don't have one, use it. Ive found most Kenwood stuff I've had is more than fine, assuming you just want it to play some music while driving around town etc.

I suppose you can use it if it works and you have nothing else. 

Car audio is so much cheaper than it used to be.

I bought a deck for 150 a year ago, brand new from supercheap, single din, does everything you need it to do and just has usb and radio. Lets be honest who even has cds today?

Im not that old and i remember when it was nothing to spend 2k on a head unit which probably didnt even play mp3s lol

Hey I'm pretty old school. [emoji846]

 

All my car has atm is the stock Japanese radio cassette player which doesn't tune to many Australian channels but it's pretty cool having a cassette player again.

The car currently has zero mods whatsoever any where on the car.= blank canvas.

 

So any things better at this stage.

My only concern was the remote is missing for the head unit.

I didn't realise how cheap stereos are these days. I'll probably get the speakers changed over to new ones as I reckon at least two have blown cones.

I also have this cool Nissan "Puretron" air cleaner/filter but not sure if it's worth re-installing or if it even works.
