So.... once again I tried the Dual budget head unit and it was great for the factory speakers. Now that I'm starting to get going with the aftermarket pro audio speakers I need a sound quality so insert the Kenwood DDX9907XR. Now I am a Pioneer guy till death do us part but with all of the factories burning to the ground and the chip shortage I couldn't find the Pioneer head unit that I wanted so I'll try this Kenwood for a while.

what's good youtube manager boy on dope
coming at y'all with another video here
uh this was or this is an update
that it was inevitable man
this one right here was a long time
coming um
this is something that i as i move
forward along in my build
um i try to rock out uh with my little
budget head unit
and at first it was like okay man you
got to think hey i'm coming
i'm in the car with some 10 year old
speakers um you put that deck in and it
immediately sounds amazing uh way better
than what i had in there
and yeah so
once i started getting speakers and all
that type of stuff going prv and whatnot
uh some things had to change uh so
uh here we go man y'all know how i do
man i always uh cut the box to make it
easier
uh for the video but let me go ahead and
slide that top back
and get this thing going man because
i'll be damned
i'm not even about to go on my whole
little rent i'm just about to go ahead
and open this joker up
so you see it there
online car stereo uh this is a place
that i guess i
shopped at back in 2012. i didn't know i
had an account with them but
uh i guess i did uh but yeah y'all can
see that right there
we had to get that upgrade man so i got
this kenwood
uh ddx 9907 xr
matter of fact let's do this
see if i can just slide it out and y'all
gonna have to stick with me on this man
i'm trying to use a um
a new camera stand man so i'm trying to
see is this something that i'm gonna
want to stick with or maybe change but
let me
push that down and
move that down a little bit all right so
uh like i said right here in front of
you
y'all see it kenwood ddx 9907xr
box been damaged a little bit but
hopefully as long as everything in
inside is protected
um matter of fact let's do this
i'm gonna move this amp out the way
before i had that uh kenwood before i
got the kenwood
this is what i was i've been rocking
with and i will do an update video on
this i've been promising people hey
i'm gonna do an update on uh this head
unit and let them know you know the pros
and cons all that type of stuff man
hopefully i can get that done today
because that thing right there will be
going in immediately man so
um this piece here is like i said this
is what i'm rocking with right now
uh it's not a bad piece it's just not
great so
um like i said we'll get we'll get into
that
uh hopefully later today maybe tomorrow
i don't know whenever
but uh right now we got to upgrade as
far as the kenwood um
exelon reference uh i guess this is the
top of the top
of their um monitors
um y'all know me man i am a pioneer guy
i keep saying it and i'll keep saying it
man i am mr like pioneer for life
uh so this is my first time ever messing
with a kenwood
uh receiver uh so i don't know
uh what to expect as far as like the
performance but obviously
a lot of people ran about them uh it's
kind of like the playstation xbox type
of deal man it's like a are you a
kenwood guy or you're a pioneer guy when
it comes to head units
uh of course you have sony and alpine
all that type of stuff and
uh the stinger elevating all that man
but when it comes to this
um the head unit game i am pioneer
like till devdo is part but uh with all
the craziness that's going on with all
these factories burning down
uh chips not being able to be
manufactured i had to go ahead and take
another route man
it was either get this joker here or the
pioneer with the nine inch screen and
single chest a single damn chassis and
all that man i didn't feel like going
through all that so
sorry this time pioneer man but
hopefully this will just be a
a one-time deal to where i end up going
with the kenwood man so
uh just doing the unboxing obviously we
got the wiring harness
um this is your
gps antenna
now the bluetooth microphone make sure
i'm doing all this in front of the
camera
and then you got your usbs um
i guess the black one is iphone and the
great one is android
i'm not sure what that i guess is an
auxiliary piece in there so let me make
sure i get that in front of the camera
i probably should take this stuff out
the plastic due to the fact that i'm
gonna go ahead and get this going in the
car real soon here man
uh but maybe i don't know may i'll do an
update mounting hardware
trim panel that just i don't know why
they do that but that comes with the
radio
[Music]
and then you got the warranty card and
probably the user manual and all that
type of stuff in here
but let's get to the most important part
and there she is man
that great a receiver man let's slide
her out
or let's attempt to slide her out
all right so now with this uh
kenwood unit and i keep hitting this dog
on camera stand
let me just throw this stuff out the way
here
all right so there she is i'm not going
to take her out either
due to the fact that i'm not ready yet
this is one of those type of deals where
you start installing
and that's where you want to start
messing with it uh so
we'll get going real soon here so like i
said man um
i am not mr kenwood looking at us upside
down
and for some reason they they put it in
his cage
uh that everybody says the kids the cage
can't fit inside of anything so what's
the point of that man but
i guess it is what it is um
you know what let's do this hopefully
they got a protective
because the main reason why i bought
this radio um
obviously for the sound quality the
settings um
like i said i am a pioneer guy and i
tell everybody hey once you go next you
can't go back which is
in my eyes it's just the the facts
that's just a situation where it's
factual man man
but um supposedly the um kenwood
excellent reference
has uh some of the top tier um sound
quality
parts in it so supposedly they put some
mosfet or some chips in it
that make sure that the sound quality is
on a whole nother level
and comes with all these um
rca connections where you like your
video front view camera
third view camera rear view camera so
cam what is real big on these cameras
man but y'all see that right there
looks like we got let's see because they
do theirs different
so you got front in the middle the rear
and then the sub down here
uh those are five volt pre-outs
definitely we will be using those uh
like i said i got my prv speakers
playing
i just been having them playing on that
dual uh what is it xc
or xdcpa uh 10bp like i said man when i
first put that radio in there hey it was
amazing don't get me wrong
uh it was great from the standpoint of
like i said 10 year old speakers now
they're you know
got a real sound processor on them uh it
does have apple carplay android auto so
i was happy with that
uh but like i said once you start adding
amps and
uh you expect a certain sound and a dsp
couldn't
get it to go i was like okay i'm going
ahead i'm going to have to go ahead and
bite that hell of a bullet because this
was a pretty penny
uh but i was like man let me go ahead
and bite the bullet man and get a real
uh head unit in so we got the cd dvd
uh this is wireless um apple carplay
android auto
does screen mirror i guess wireless
android mirroring wired iphone i'm an
iphone guy now
uh so i'm gonna
make this video nice and sweet hopefully
i mean i'm pretty sure there's tons of
videos of this on uh youtube
uh but like i said as far as me this
right here subwoofer obviously
i don't know why the front's in the
middle but just right now my front
speakers are in there so i got to get
those going
uh so i'm going to go ahead and swap
this dual out and try to go out here and
shoot a quick video
to get that dual off the car and
also ordered this off of ebay
and i figured i'd just leave it in there
so y'all can see how this came back
with some freaking newspaper
i mean i'm i guess give it how you live
there's one way to look at it so let me
open this
okay so uh this is the kenwood remote
this thing
is a freaking subway sandwich
i did not know this thing was gonna be
just thick
so i'm the type of guy i'm lazy
i literally have like the stereos right
here i can easily touch it
that's probably about how how far away
it's going to be in the car
i'm i'm not doing it if i don't have a
remote i know good
um cool thing about pioneer they come
with the remotes can was do not
uh so i had to spend an extra 30 bucks
to get this here
like i said i had no idea this was this
thick and i can almost guarantee
yep no freaking batteries
all right so well i guess that's my
unboxing
um let me find the box
uh the kenwood ddx9907xr
uh so like i said man this is i guess
their top tier
uh to compete with the pioneer next
units uh
so the exelon reference supposedly like
i said supposedly has a
let me get this turn around
supposedly has the top-notch uh
sound quality pieces in it so we'll go
from there man
and once i get this out of the orange
get this out of the car and this one
into the car i'll do an update video man
so
y'all know the dale any questions
comments concerns uh hit me up man i try
to get back to everybody
and y'all know the deal it's two zero
two one
if your mirrors ain't shaking damn it
you gotta take it
y'all have a good one i'm out of here
stay tuned uh like i said i'm more than
likely we'll be doing an update on this
um hopefully tonight get that uploaded
uh like i said this is the dual xd cpa
one zero bt i'm pretty sure the bt
stands for bluetooth
uh which it has man but uh like i said i
guess this is the creme de la creme
uh so when it comes to sound quality and
that's exactly what i'm looking for man
so stick around

that and
