Oh Yeah manuals

My Pioneer came with a CD containing PDFs for manuals. That might be good if the unit could read PDFs but it can't. It has a quick start guide that is easy to follow but I have had to print a few pages to figure things out.

Some of the factory radios (if you can call them that anymore) are very hard to use these days as well. I am not sure but with your Kenwood you might have to change a setting on your iProduct to get it to stop auto-play.

By the way Kenwood Excelon-KFCX1730P is a nice set of speakers not a headunit. http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertain ... KFC-X1730P

If you find the number of your headunit I will read up on how you might get it to stop doing that.
Also you might try calling Kenwood or a Kenwood dealer fro help using it. Sometimes they know all the little tricks. You might try the voice commands as sometimes they work really good.

Also headunits like Computers, Tablets, Phones iThingies and GPS units they all have (and need) updates all the time and many of them are free and can fix common problems. The last one I did for my Pioneer (was not free) fixed and updated a whole bunch of little things that made it much nicer to use. I took almost an hour to update though. The GPS has never worked so good.

In closing you should always whenever possible go to a store and touch and try a headunit out before buying. I am not saying you can't buy it on line I am just saying try to know what you are getting into before buying one.

Let me know if I can help in anyway...I love electronics and reshearch...

Just installed 6.5 infinity kappa speakers (pair in front, pair in rear doors). Sounds much better. Could use an amp, but still more crisp and better mids than stock.

Also my van came with an Eclipse avn30 DVD/cd/sirius/gps double din. FYI - dont buy any Eclipse for their gps. They stopped making update gps DVDs since last year. They're only doing oem stuff now.

When I have to refer to a manual for instructions I do one of two things:

1. YouTube it. or
2. Turn my teenage daughter loose on it for 30 minutes and get her to explain it to me.

Seriousl!

In the front I used JBL 6x8 separates that were also 2ohm so this works out well.
In the front it is best to use some kind of separates as the speakers are mounted so low that they are at you knees while driving. By moving the tweeters up to the Door Triangle or the A pillar the sound is much better. There is quite a bit of room in the front doors so you could use 6 or even 8 inch separates.

How difficult is it to install the 6x8 speakers with separate tweeters? This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, but I've been hesitant to do so. I would want to put the tweeters in the black door triangle that is opposite the driver/passenger mirrors. Any tips/instructions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I saw and heard this at SEMA last week. Awesome for it compact size. Amp and sub in one rectangular box (about size of a box for a dozen donuts).

It's on my wish list.
