Default kenwood headunits - decent?

Are Kenwood still a respectible brand offering decent quality?

http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/5857.html

If you could get one of those utterly legit for 60 quid, would you run it in your car, or is it likely to be pap?

(obviously its not a high end awesome unit, but for a budget HU?)

cheers

I have had a few kenwoods from the old style pull out types to my monitor unit with the motorized screen. Never had a problem with them and they have always sounded cool when connected to the amps etc. I would run it

i'd only have Alpine personally, like the way they dont really look all that fancy, hate flashy lights n stuff in the car.

But for 60 quid the one in that link looks like a great buy

I've bought one of their £60 ones not long ago and it's fine, and actually looks reasonably classy too.

I have a Kenwood KRC 855, awsome piece of kit, RRP was £580 for head unit, Rad/Cass, with cd changer functions, perfect up till about 6 months ago now playing up, but is about 10 years old so can't moan.
Repair, new tape deck going to cost me £105, but still worth doing for me.
Had a 565 before that but sold it to get above one.
