I need help deciding between a new Kenwood or a restored Motorola.

Kenwood KMM-BT515HD (multimedia only no CD) 22x4 watts RMS

The semi original Motorola that has been restored by the Radio Dr?

I have already upgraded the original speakers using Morphs speaker pods and sub enclosure. I really don't want to have to install a sub in my front trunk but I feel I need the power to drive the speakers + sub.

Thanks

Swapped my Motorola sapphire for a blaupunkt Frankfurt this year. It's better all around, but compared to a modern deck you gotta be prepared to reach over and fine tune the tuning.

I'm not running a sub, so can't help there. I'm driving a pair of 6.5in focals through an alpine power pack amp off the stock wiring. Plenty of power to listen at freeway speeds (and higher ) with the top off.

Good luck

I'm sticking to my Craig 8 track installed in 11/74.

It's night and day sound quality or keep it looking stock,not hard to work out.
I have a mint Blaupunkt Frankfurt 2 channel and I have it tucked away in a dry place.

A lot depends of if you're trying to stay concourse.
For me, i want CD (I listen to books on tape) & want front I-Pod jack in a set without glaring star wars look. No illusions of staying true to heritage.

Had that radio for two weeks then traded it in for a Blaupunkt because it had Bluetooth issues. Was a Kenwood issue not a bad unit.

No concourse here. Thanks for the heads up on the BT515HD I will keep looking.

I'am running a Blaupunkt CD unit that is a few years old but never fitted to a car,has enough output for the small space.

Also using the larger fiberglass speaker pods,managed to squeeze JBL 6.5's in them which is a good solution for the limited size of the stock ones.
