Kenwood DPX-440
24 September 2026
ダブルデッキ — The DPX-440 is Kenwood's double-DIN CD/cassette combo from the late 90s — two formats, one slot, built for the dash. It's probably not suppose to be flash; it's trying to work, but I tell you what, it's bloody flashy alright. 40W x 4, clean FM reception, and a 93dB signal-to-noise ratio on the CD section that still holds up. If you want a solid unit at a solid price, that looks heat this is the one.
