i had a bit of a tantrum the other day and accidently on purpose punched my dvd reciever (alpine cva-1004r) so now i have to look for a new one. i'm toying with the idea of getting a kenwood kvt-m700, it has a slightly bigger screen and is touch screen but apart from that is it any good? they are both the same price as well.

its all down to personal preference matey, i like alpine units, i have never really had a kenwood before

I would recommend kenwood and choose it over alpine, simply coz you get more for your money. Just with it being a touch screen, make sure your fingers are clean!

alpine is always gona be better value for money, no matter what extra options the kenwood offers!

cause alpine is top class quality and from experience of kenwood, and now a owner of alpine gear, i found kenwood wasnt nearly half as gud of quality as kenwood!

i say alpine but it is personaly preference!
