Well of those 3, I'd have to go with the one with more features and better looks. All equal quality workmanship and parts. All reliable, None haeve any major skipping problms, (MP3's always skip easier than CD's).. but not often.

Hope it helps.

yeah, I have a Kenwood, and besides being decent quality, it looks nice too. I would post a pic of mine, but am having terrible time trying to figure out how

I just got the Blau San Jose and I like it alot so far. For me it was between the JVC and the Blau, but the quality, or lack thereof, of JVC products kept me away from them. The Blau isn't perfect, but it is the best choice right now IMHO. I did alot of research here and that's what I came up with. The real winner might be coming out soon since Alpine, Sony, and Pioneer plan on releasing a(nother) deck this year. I couldn't wait myself. Plus, the Blau was 300 on crutchfield where the JVC was like 400. You can get it cheaper elsewhere, but they won't honor the warantee

He He He yer silly [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. Seriously though.. Clarion's HU's are no better quality than Kenwoood or Blaupunkt.. better then the JVC.. most likely. But if you're going to post big opinions like this.. back them up.. Make a single statement Says nothing as to why someone would value your opinion....I'm not knocking you.. just post some reasons to back up your statement.

Having ONE doesn't speak for all of Kenwood's HU's. If it did, then I would say that Kenwood kick a$$.....I've had 3 (each in a different car), and have found them to be reliable, full of functionality, and aesthetically pleasing.....all in all, Kenwood HU's are very cool.
