Which model is recommended for a 2024 rav4? Comment from : @chinaman1

I would say Kenwood and Pioneer would be my 2 favorite picks Comment from : @joemiller2057

Sony sounds good to me! For my 2012 miata Comment from : @michaelfiaschetti2574

From my experiences I really like the pioneer brand They tend to be more bassy but Good quality sound output I also like the fact they've integrated Apple and Android's platforms in one unit I've had less luck in the Sony brand when it comes to the sound output quality I am not a fan Had bad experiences with the sound quality of headphones and of a car unit As far as I can remember, I've always heard Alpine and Kenwood were the gold standard when it comes to sound quality output JVC has always been looked at as a cheap option Comment from : @bashariwhite3352

Would it be a good idea to switch my beats for an alpine Reason i ask is because my telematics module gave out so now my uconnect doesn’t work and the thing is like 640 dollars just for the module so that it can give out again and being stuck paying another 640 What do you recommend? Comment from : @ManuelGarcia-o3i

Is it ok to use sony speakers with alpine head units? I love the sony sound in any kind of speakers but i like alpine headunits Also how much difference is 4v vs 5v pre out voltage? Comment from : @PlayJewel

I have mazda 6 2017 brI am in for any of the brands and am will to upgrade my car sound system brbrWhat annoys me is that none of the brands can fit to replace the same size of my mazda brbrIs there a bracket or a peac of decoration that can compensate ? Comment from : @Zezo-ARL

Nothing of this compares to vintage alpine Comment from : @Jonjs99

These are so outdated compared to the latest top of the line Chinese units They have Optical surround and processors and display are on another level Unfortunately I bought the pioneer unit but one of my mates has one of the Chinese units Compared to that I feel like I have a 10 year old unit Comment from : @vtecminileon

I bought a JVC for my son's car Terrible decision Should have stuck with Pioneer or Kenwood Comment from : @lampinlance

Hey Josh, good breakdown comparison based on what I’ve seen when I’ve done my own comparisons From different retailers, your video has helped to solidify what I was thinking I’ve been contemplating putting some in an older model mercury and I was leaning toward Alpine , kenwood or JVC for those very reasons Just wanted to say thank you for putting that video out the people a comprehensive but concise overview Comment from : @jeronronnunkoffunk4691

Reviews without prices Are a waste of time Comment from : @realfast747

What units have the best DAC? Or do any have coaxial outputs? Comment from : @MichaelsHomeCooking

I really like this channel and the info I’ve looked through the channel and maybe I missed it but I’d really like a review of Apple CarPlay units that are wireless Other items are idatalink clarification When a unit says it’s Maestro compatible does it mean all Maestro lines such as the SW or only the newer ones such as RR and RR2brThanks in advance!

I have an alpine and it sucks Comment from : @JeepComeTrue

Alpine decks are trash Kenwood is a lot better Comment from : @tallahassee6228

going to shop around to see what fits my 2001 acura mdx Comment from : @geevee9582

I just want to go back to 1996!! I had DJ Magic Mike on Pioneer cassette attached to DEQ9200 with 4 pioneer 10” subs on an Orion Red amplifier Crammed into a 1991 Ford Ranger extended cab lowered 3 front 5 rear Good times Comment from : @QUANTUMRESIN

Kenwood, Alpine, JVC Comment from : @techcode_man

Love alpine but they're expensive and quality has declined Comment from : @drjoe2323

I would choose Alpine I used to own a 1982 Chevy c10 truck that I had an Alpine head unit in It was a good unit in my truck One thing that I don't understand is that no one uses volume knobs(dials) anymore Comment from : @TimAshbaugh-i5l

JVC any day of the week But i guess i am biased as i had all others over the time until i got my first JVC It had more sub menus, flexible look to suit car interior and a sub control that could filter the resonance out But these days they are all good Comment from : @marko60marko44

Your tacky tacky background freaking sucks its very distracting Comment from : @michaelnowak3570

Great video Ty so very much Comment from : @DCJNewsMedia

So Alpine is the best do these Alpine stereos like from Walmart do they come with the flush and wiring harness or do you have to buy that separate I hope you see this cause I’m really really just curious thank you Comment from : @thechase4621

Kentwood's volume level is terrible They only go up to about 30 Not sure if it's 30 or 35 Comment from : @TinoGutierrez-d6y

I think I’m sold on Sony Comment from : @codebebop

I'll have to disagree with you far as sound quality I'll have to give it to pioneer and yes you are correct about the lower voltage on the preamps but that's usually on the lower end models the same with JVC and Kenwood and I have installed many kenwoods pioneers JVC's Alpine Sony's in the recent years I tend to lean towards pioneer seems like the sound is more vibrant for instance I took my DMH WT7600 out and replace it with an ILX f511 and that pioneer beat it out in sound quality Comment from : @816athlon64

what is the best head unit for spl competition? Comment from : @johnnycampos9523

If you want a good quality music in your vehicle, it's not a great idea to eliminate CD players when it is technically difficult to simply try to replace an optical storage laser CDs can be burned to play WAV, FLAC files A WAV will take 1411 Kbps (16 Bits), or 2116 Kbps (24 Bits) On the opposite, an USB flash stores data as electrical charges and is highly prone to data corruption Just check the list of unsatisfied consumers complaining about their USB flash drives not playing music The Hi Res wireless 1600 Kbps add is only in theory because it will never run stable as long there is congestion it will drop down to 660 Kbps, 330 Kbps, or less (MP3 quality) The AUX alternative can be a good option! Comment from : @velocast

Very Unhappy with my Alpine head unit Bluetooth audio cuts out for the first 5 minutes when more than 1 phone is paired with it Unit won't forget old phones and has to be factory reset I would put sound quality on par with Pioneer Shopping for another brand than Alpine currently Comment from : @TrHenning05

I'm replacing my Pioneer HU AVH-X850BHS because Pioneer just doesn't offer firmware updates that keep the HU relevant New apps will come out and a brand must be able to adapt I'm not saying Pioneer is worse than other brands in that respect, but we'll see Comment from : @brianh2574

Anyone know anything that has hdmi input outputs but isnt 1k like the jvc Comment from : @georgecortes6139

Thank you very much, that’s what I was looking for, a clear and simple explanation Comment from : @JJHH

Which preamp voltage is better for subwoofers, 4, 2, or what?? Comment from : @BoobeeMyles

if you want no lag wireless apple car play go with sonybrbrsony seem to be the only ones that prioritize a smooth experience Comment from : @ItsCoderDan

Question I am replacing a Axxera 10" in a RV I need GPS, would like to see rear camera anytime or side anytime I need I do like the auto side camera when flasher come on Sirius XM, Do they make a 4th camera that can be used as a dash cam? would like to add some RV apps for GPS Suggestions ??? Comment from : @V8Norm5592

For a Volkswagen mk6 2017 model it's Gli in the us but a 155kw highline sport in Australia which deck would you recommend? Comment from : @petarradovic8110

Alpine has the best Crispy Clear sound Pricey but you get what pay for period brNext is Kenwood They will not sacrifice wattage & never let your Subs down! Comment from : @Historicallybuilt

Anything to make my bullet tweeters loud Comment from : @CarolinaBoyTV

I asked ChatGPT, and I got the exact same script Comment from : @qrubmeeaz

IMHO Alpine is always the best but you have to pay to get it I've used Alpine since the early 90's Comment from : @richardrosa4826

Alpine all the way Comment from : @erickyahaya6784

The best is one that fits in the opening without those cheap plastic kits Comment from : @cavitycreep

I’m still waiting for a head unit with high rms wattage I own a sound digital 4004 that literally fits in the palm of my hand It can’t be that hard to just attach that technology to the back of a cd player instead of giving us 10 15 watts rms with 7 volt sub pre-outs Comment from : @guestguest

that's actually one the most useful vids i've seen Comment from : @DanielReisenbichler

Awesome video! I learned a ton I have a question though I am a bit older (59) and I don't enjoy overly complicated things and I don't need or want a super load system I do however like modern and easy interface I like what I see regarding Apple Car Play I saw that you ranked Sony at the bottom of the options and that was my 1st choice ( due to simplicity) Are you saying it's a bad unit or that it just lacks features popular with most people today? I'm thinking it might be exactly what we older folks need Comment from : @robb7733

I only use, and try to get my customers to get Kenwood Marine head units for sound quality I think they are some of the best in the business Using Marine stereo in your car is a great way to get good sound quality and durability as all Marine eqpt must be CEI certified and meet certain standards Think of how a boat must handle waves and wake without a suspension Comment from : @johannjohann6523

I wouldn't touch a pioneer with their overheating issues and random rebooting issues of the last 2-3 years Comment from : @nightmarecivic
