Im shopping around for head units. I haven't needed/wanted one in about a decade. Thank you for providing content like this where I can crash-course into current tech and stuff to make a more informed decision and what price point can get me what. I bought a cheapy dashboard mounted CarPlay thing, its cool enough and janky enough to make me want to do this the right way

Looks to me like the only one with a VOLUME knob is the least expensive. Anyone that's ever driven a busy interstate having to search out a "virtual" volume control will know which of these is REALLY best.

Most vehicles nowadays will have volume buttons on the steering wheel. Also, the Alpine head unit in the video doesn't have a knob, but it does have physical volume up and down buttons. Lastly, Alpine offers a Bluetooth knob that adjusts volume and bass that you can mount anywhere as long as it's within Bluetooth range.

That's a good video. I would have liked to see a 4th unit. Pioneer? At least a $300-$450ish range. Pioneer has my heart from the 80-90s. Kinda undecided on which model to choose in that range. Pioneer, that is. Anyway, i feel Pioneer, Alphine, and Kenwood are the podium holders.

If you’re a car audio nuthead no doubt you would pick Alpine easy. Yes it’s expensive but their attention to detail when it comes to audio set-up is still best in the game even after 3 decades. It’s like the Sony of TVs lol.

Question about the Alpine. Since it has a pretty extensive eq/dsp how would the head unit built in crossovers compare to say a standalone amplifier/dsp ? I’m trying to get a new head unit but also at the same time I need an amp or I can continue to use my old jl360 a/b amp to power my inside speakers but it doesn’t have those crossover features. I’m stuck man ughhh I low key just need to do 10ch active 😅

Hey im buying a new head unti soon. You recommend the dmx907 (cant find your review on it) or the alpine 507. The kenwood has 192khz and it has 5 volts. But j wonder if 507 will have better sound quality to begin with

Really love your reviews. However, after watching them I'm torn between the Alpine iLX-507 and Kenwood DMX 8709S, and if it's really worth going up to the Kenwood DMX 958xr I'd consider it. I use an Apple phone, and need the upgrade in order to use Carplay, install one rear camera, have access to Sirius, HD radio, Navigation, and possibly play KZfaq music videos once in awhile. I'd appreciate it if you would tell me what you would do considering these choices, or if you think there is something better that I haven't considered. The car is a 2011 Mercedes SLK 300 and the budget just for the stereo is between $500 to $850, thank you for your help.

Great question! "Double DIN" refers to a standard for the size of car stereo head units, typically measuring 4 inches (100 mm) in height and 7 inches (180 mm) in width. "DIN" stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung, which is a German standards organization. Double DIN units are twice the height of single DIN units, allowing for larger displays and more advanced features such as touchscreens, navigation systems, and more comprehensive multimedia capabilities.

There are now 2 brands I will NEVER EVER BUY AGAIN of head units one is jensen and the other is Boss. To add insult to injury some jerk at Boss in the warranty department named cristian inisisted the problem was something it was not, and even hung up on me twice. This guy should definitely not be working in the position he somehow was given.
