where to set at, if the head unit dont have LPF off function, say 50 63 80 100 125hz, is it leave at lower 50hz or pass through Thanks in advance ✌

Technically loudness rolls off as the volume goes which is something he did not mention. Just like bass roll of on a OEM radio.

I recently bought a Kenwood head unit and it has a new to me feature where you can pick subwoofer size. I was curious what it actually does when you select different sizes and is there a way to turn it off? Thanks

Hi ! Really greatfull for such audio channel specific information. One major drawback….the car industry.
Can you make a video explaining how the e.v market will be for audio enthusiasts ? Will it be possible to bypass audio
on Toyota bz4x, Tesla and others ? They are doing everything to make it a nightmare for us. Thanks a lot !

Good information! I just recently bought a kenwood kmm-x705, very nice head unit. I have a question on that unit. The heat sink gets very hot and was wondering how hot is to hot? I know that’s why it’s there but man does it get hot! I’ve checked all my connections for loose connections and all is good. Thanks in advance!

I just got a ddx9907xr, it has a bass boost setting and a realizer setting. Whats the difference?

[chrisluvsu]

Does the kdc x305 have concert or Hall effect?

[trailerparkplug]

These kenwood head units are just about the most complicated device I’ve ever used but boy do they sound good

[miguejimenez]

Does any one know why when I connect to Bluetooth my volume only goes up to 27 if it goes higher it resets to 15

[bigpoppa]

Thanks for that information! Try doing multiple searches to figure out some of what these settings do and was coming up short

A year later and this was very helpful. Thank you ma'am!!!

On the Kenwood head units (I have a DDX 6706S ) with DSP

For each of the 4 orders of crossover provided, are they butterworth? L-R? Bessel? Other?
Also are they the "normal" version of the circuit or the linear phase version since it's in the DSP?

I've been having issues when matching the 2nd order HPF on the head unit to an amp provided 2nd order LPF (unknown type, assumed Butterworth non-linear) on the sub amp that can't be disabled (JL Audio Powered Microsub+), and am suspecting different type is the issue.

When I don't use the head unit's crossover, and use the mid/tweeter amp's built in 2nd order (unknown type, assumed Butterworth, non-linear) on a Kenwood KAC-M3004, the phase sounds correct

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Help! I have a KMR-M 3088T I can't get it to turn on the am, fm part

[martink]

Thanks for this 👍 I got some really useful information that I couldn't find anywhere else. I wish Kenwood published stuff like this (or at least makes it easy to find)

[allprecisehvacr]

Muffed sound on my speakers why can’t get clear sound?

[aimsa]

I just need to know how to set the date please

[gilbertogutierrez]

I’ve had these questions myself. Thanks for the video. 👍🏼

[dustinbritt]
