I just bought a Kenwood XXV-01D headunit and the range of adjustments on it is way way past what I would know. I'm talking lpf, hpf, mhz, and all kinds of other adjustments. Let me know if any of you guys would know how to adjust this for me and maybe we can meet up. Thanks.

Wouldn't be a problem, we would just have to find some time where our schedules overlap. I live in Readington so I'm pretty close to you too.

Out of curiosity are you running any subs, amps, etc?

Oh man your help would be greatly appreciated. I could take a ride out there one night next week if you're free. I am running a Kenwood 500 watt amp and 2 Rockford Fosgate 10" subs in a sealed box. The amp is only powering the subs. I have all my wiring run for the amp and the box built. Just waiting for the carpeting to show up so I can cover the box and drop the subs in. If the carpet comes by friday I will carpet the box and have the subs in by monday night.

Can you PM me your phone number and real name so I can call you when I'm ready?

Nice head unit. I put one in my Corvette. I have to wonder though, if you don't know what all that stuff does, why did you spend extra for a head unit that had it all?

You have a pm. Just let me know when you're ready and we should be able to work out a time we can meet up.

This will be my first time playing with a Kenwood in a while (I installed an older model in my mom's civic) so there will be a bit of a learning curve to figure out the menus but once I get that down it should be pretty easy to set up everything so it sounds good. I will try to finish my amp rack in the mean time so you can get a chance to hear kicks.

Honestly it was more a matter or looks. I was having trouble finding a black headunit for my all black center console area. Also I love the OEL display on it.....oh yeah and I got it brand new for $235 plus shipping.
