Pros Volume knob, D-Mask, built-in crossovers, MP3 playback
Cons Busy look... subtly not an option
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this head unit about 5 months ago. I had a stereo shop do the installation as per my instructions. I chose the x859 for a number of reasons. One was because of the amount of features it has to offer... System E's Advanced Crossover System being the main one... along with the three 4.5... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I purchased my X859 late 2002 for $499 loved it right from the start. It is a little complicated to use, but as I am a lover of gadgets and an avid manual reader, I don't mind. It worked great and I loved the "oohs" and "ahhs" I get from my passengers when the face flips out and plays the light... Read full review »

Pros Bright display, volume knob, D-MASK, MP3 playback
Cons Layout a bit cluttered, programming of AM/FM presets is not intuitive
Recommended it? Yes

My Kenwood KDC-X859 was purchased about 1 month after its release at a cost of $375. It can be found for as low as $300 now. At the time I was looking for a head unit that would play MP3 encoded CDs and also be able to conceal itself when turned off.

There are many reasons why I chose... Read full review »
