This amp is alright for the money. It is nothing fancy but gets the job done, i dont think it puts out its rated power.

I first got one of these amps, being an avid believer in their speakers which i still am. My kenwood 5x7s and my headunit have treated me well. But i have gone through two of these specific amplifiers in less than 6 months. And my friend burned through his excellon 1700w amp very quickly. In short do not buy kenwood for amplifiers everyone i talk to in the audio business has told me never to buy their amps because they know they'll eventually burn out.

This amp is a bang for the buck kind of amp. It shorts out a lot even when tuned down, all because of stupid "protection mode"... really embarrassing when you show friends and it just stops outta nowhere. Get this amp if you are powering a low wattage sub.

this amp puts off a great amount of power and sounds greaat

very reasonably priced piece of equipment for the brand of ( Kenwood )
