Just installed a new Kenwood KDC-400U deck. It has Sirius XM capability & Pandora. Also has the USB front jack which is a must for me. It has 3 RCA jacks in the back to for amps & subs. It's been solid so far (might install later). Also, installed Alpine SPS- 517 2way 5x7 / 6x8's in the back. Bought them brand new off Craigslist for $55 dollars. They retail for about $100-120. 75watts RMS each. They scream a bit. They previous owner had slots drilled already for some previous 5x7's he had. They were just kinda hanging there. So I used those wholes & tightening them up & made it all flush. I was gonna buy 4x10 to 6x9 adapters but I didn't want to wait & I keep buying things (expensive or not) & it is all adding up. So I decided to not too. Besides, they actually sound really good & it's super loud! I'm also, gonna try to cover up the existing part of the hole from the 4x10 slot to see if they will get me better sound too. But in all I'm very pleased!

One of my 3.5's is blow. In the front so if will have to get another set.
