I purchased a 2012 Kenwood head unit and it was the best move I ever made. Really made my factory amp and speakers boom. I did change my door tweeters with Kickers and that really made the system explode.

By the way i was concerned about cosmetics. Concerned that going away from the silver head unit would mess the look of the interior up. Wrong!! The black head unit actually looks better than the silver head unit. Consider it
