Kenwood KDC-X592: Clean Looks and Flexibility

The guys at Kenwood showed all new radios in their booth this year, and the one that caught my eye (and Sean, the other SoundDomain guy snapping shots there) was the new Kenwood Excelon KDX-X592 (here photographed with the KDC-X492 which shares similar cosmetics to some of the other Kenwood radios this year).  As you can see from the picture, it has a very classy look to it. More pics and specs after the jump.

Pretty dope deck. Very clean design... Wish it was a drop down face, but it still looks really good!

Simple clean black radios are back. I have used Kenwood radios for years. They have bullet proof radios. As far as reliability, Kenwood is on top.

Just installed this in my Audi A4. It's nice to see radios coming back out of the Ghetto!

I don't know why so many people hype about Alpine. This unit has higher voltage preouts and sounds great paired up with my three punch amps and three JL 10" subs. Much better than the Alpine I replaced with the Kenwood
