Kenwood Ddx7015 ??

[MUSTNAG 03]

I am looking to have a Kenwood DDX7015 unit installed in my car. I presently have the Mach 1000 system in the car and was wondering if this unit would match up to this system or if the amps and subs would have to be replaced. I will be removing the Mach 1000 system this fall to have a roll cage installed but just wanted to see if I could use this Kenwood unit by it's self untill then.

Thanks

I think it will with an adaptor, I'll check tomarrow at work.

BTW... the DDX7015 is discontinued, it was last year's model. The new one is the DDX7017. Better user interface and cosmetics.

I just installed a 7015 and there isnt much difference next to the 7017 and same features.

DDX7015 over DDX7017:

Up to 5V Preamp out from 2V (HUGE feature)
2 AV in, 1 Out up from 1 in and 1 out
Has dedicated back up camera input w/ reversing image
New AV remote for better control of dual zone and NAV


Also the new Excelon piece is the DDX8017

Has 5.1 processor built in
Controls Excelon amp


I know there are more on both new this year than I am listing, I am shooting these from memory. But what do I know, we are just the factory Kenwood reps.

Thank-you. I see tha the DDX7017 can also support a rear view camera.

When I used adapters to hook up my aftermarket radio to my Mach 1000 amps, it worked but didn't sound very good compared to stock. I ended up yanking my whole Mach system out and built a custom system. There is a thread with my install pics further down.

you gotta hate those 2ohms mach setups.

I ended up getting the DDX-1707 and had it installed yesterday. It fit right in to the stock Mach 1000 system with the correct harness.


Now I have to study the manual and play around with it to dial everything in.

Get some pics of the setup!
