Message	Had a Kenwood in my S13 240sx that I drove for many years, and it was mediocre. I put an Alpine in my next car after the 240 (Jetta VR6) and I could not believe how much better the Alpine was. Now I have Alpine decks in my zx and my Subaru, and love both. Just wish I had shelled out a little more for speakers in the Subaru, the Boston Acoustics I have in the Z are 100x better than the crap Kenwood/Sony combo I have in the Subie. Kane
