Y'know, all the bullshit aside, this 979 is one deadly head unit.
They gave me a loaner while it was out for service, (sorry, can't remember it's part #)... A decent head unit with dual pre-outs, internal crossovers & 3-way eq. Over the past month of using it, I had it dialed in as best as possible, and it sounded pretty good.
But then I switch back to my newly repaired 979 (Full XO's, EQ's, DTA, SRS WOW, burrbrown doodad, etc.) and holy crap... What a difference. Not just a slight difference but a "holy crap!" difference... Capable of going way louder, and sounding a LOT better at any volume.
Which is why I blew the dough on the repair. It really is a kickass sounding head unit. Colour me happy

There's only one in question, there's no "these".
Yes, they're a Kenwood service centre. And when they have a problem that they can't fix, they ship it to Kenwood.
Like, this latest visit, they fixed the flipout cable and that cured that, but the eprom was kablooey, so it had to go to Kenwood themselves.

Right, I understand you only dealt with the one, while Robmar suggested another. If these are kenwood service centers, meaning approved or backed by kenwood, then you cannot blame the end user for not using one depot over another.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Grizz's depot, as he seems fairly happy with the folks there, but I see where you're coming from robmar in that some places do better work than others. If a depot is consistantly doing bad work and essentially giving kenwood a bad name. Kenwood thats Kenwoods fault and problem. You can't blame the end-user for using one approved depot over another. They SHOULD all be consistant. If not, thats Kenwoods fault.
Now that my two cents have been added, I hope you have better luck with your next deck.
