Anyone have it ?
I'm thinking of replacing my HU cause the stock radio reception is terrible
The unit I'm looking at is the JVC-kd-hdr1
http://sonicelectronix.com/item_6913_JVC+KD-HDR1.html
It has all the features I want & the price is right, any comments on it ?
I have a chevy hhr w/ infinity kappa comp in front & infinity kappa 3 ways in rear doors
10" RF shallow sub in sealed box designed by swez sitting in right rear footwell
Kenwood KAC X542 amp for door speakers
Kenwood KAC X812D amp for the sub
Any other HU suggestions welcomed, under $ 250 w/ sub control

ps Dave that sub took about 2 months to break in
it don't sound bad

I have not made the switch yet nor really had the urge to to be honest. I am on siruis and happy with it.

Dont you still need good reception to take advantage of HD radio.

I also have Sirrius and love it. The Sirrius tuner was on sale at Crutchfield when I ordered it(just happened to be) and was$ 50 instead of $99 . I am very happy with it and the reception is perfect.

Its the stock radio that I'm getting poor fm reception with, its a known issue w/ the stock radio

Two months to break in that sub?... That's pretty tame use for most guys on this site. (2 weeks tops) GRIN

Am glad you like the system as mentioned. It sounded very robust to me when we met, before the sub was installed.

I would check out the available channels in your area. IF you live in the boonies like me, the nearest HD station is over 75 miles away.
I recommend checking out their website for more information:
