Which HU is better? Alpine IVA-D310E or Kenwood KVT-532DVD?

Question

I have a factory h/u(FM/cassette only) in my car and I'm planning to have an after market h/u installed. My car has 10 factory installed speakers, 1 tweeter, 1 midrange, 1 midbass on each of the front doors, 1 tweeter on each of the rear doors, 2 speakers at the back. I had one Alpine M350 mono amp installed in the trunk with a JBL subwoofer.

My dealer said that there is also a factory installed preamp/crossover system in the boot where all the factory speakers are connected to.

I'm looking at getting either an Alpine IVA-D310E or a Kenwood KVT-532DVD. The Alpine is more expensive by atleast $225..

Answer 1

I'm a Alpine fan so I'm going with it. But if the Kenwood is cheaper and you like it's your choice. Good luck.

Answer 2

with the setup already there having amps and crossovers dont be a fool and go for $$$ over quality.

the headunit at the end of the day only creats a sound its the speakers and amps that do all the work and make it sound good.

i have a £20 headunit in my car and its competition level.

the speakers are what make it so save the $225 and get the other one and spend that extra cash on upgrading the speaker cables to goldplated air sealed ones.
