Kenwood use to be crap 10 years ago when I was an installer. It easily had the worst speakers in build quality. There were more blown Kenwood speakers than any other brand combined X10. Things do change in the electronics world though....

I've been installing stuff here and there since high school (pushing 12 years). I'm nowhere near as particular about my sound now. This is likely secondary to years of listening to music too loud and shooting guns. If it sounds reasonable to me, I'm happy.

Anyway, if I recall correctly Kenwood speakers and subs were never the best, but their headunits have been just as good as anyone else. Maybe I'm wrong, but this has always been my general thought.

Edited to add: All of my installs have been my own cars or friends/relatives. Never done it in a professional capacity, more of a hobby.
