    I always run both, Audio/iphone/whatever you use for media on top of a dual USB and data on the bottom. That's just me.

    I will say these HU are finger print magnets. Anyone know if they make screen protectors for Kenwoods?

    One thing I will say about changing out the stock HU & the DSR1 is now I have no Bass punch...My setup is kenwood ddx9907xr w/Maestro RR & Kenwood XR901 amp. I have everything setup like Brakedust's with the crossovers and what not. But I just don't seem to have the bass punch of what the DSR1 had. The bass knob is almost all the way up compared to the DSR1. The DSR1 I usually ran it maybe 1/4 to 1/2 turn. When I turned it up to 3/4 it would shake the hell out of my rear view mirror and feel it in the driver seat. It was thumping...

    Do you have the 'sub' output cranked up? My kenwood had it set to zero by default, bass was very weak. Now I have it at 10 and our very own tech12volt (James) also recommended to bump it up. Plus I have my EQ set to amplify some of the lower frequencies.

    Your HU may also need your mid/sub gain values to be adjusted on the amp. You can probably get this tuned but it will take some experimenting.

    I had the same problem:
