I have this amp powering a JBL GTO804 in a sealed box in the trunk of my '07 Honda Accord EX. I can't believe how much clean bass this tiny amp can put out without overheating. It won't rattle your car apart, but it definately puts out 150 watts like the box says.

My original setup was an alpine cda105 head unit and alpine sps6.2 components. The head unit just didn't have enough, so i bought this amp to run the components. I am amazed at the performance!!! I have been installing systems for 15 yrs, and am amazed at the clarity this amp brought to my speakers! I highly recommend!

Bought this amp to hook up to my 12in kenwood sub, works great. Hits hard and gives your car a nice thump. Thinking about buying another one to put another sub in my trunk.

Got this thing about a year ago. Have it powering a MTX TN12-O4. Not the most powerful thing, but it certainly does the job. Plenty of power. I have yet to even try and set the gains for it. Overall is a great product. Considering another one for my front speakers.

Review by
DUBS from Ankeny, IA

The first time I reviewed this I just barely hooked it up to some 4" Kicker speakers in a PVC tube (90 degree elbows) enclosure to see how they would sound. It did a great job on those (may still use?). Well, I swapped those speakers out for some 5.25" Aura speakers from another seller (P.E.), and put them into a larger PVC enclosure. I have them up on the handlebars of my '00 Yamaha Roadstar. Let me say that those speakers rock with this amp powering them. Crisp/clean/clear sound. I was amazed. I even had stuff packed up against the amp in my saddlebag for my weekend trip, and it barely got warm! And, I went on a 4 hour ride. Great little amp to run mids/highs. Barely draws any power. Excellent 2 channel for my motorcycle!

I bought this amp in the kit with the Rockford Fosgate R1S4 10" Sub, and wiring kit. I built a custom enclosure into the backseat of my 99 Regal. This amp gives my sub the perfect amount of power. Would recommend to anyone on a budget trying to add a lot of bass to their car. Don't be fooled by the price, Kenwood and Rockford Fosgate are Quality brands. This amp/sub combo wont let you down.

Seems to be a good amp for the price. Looking back I wish I'd just bought a mono amp for my sub instead of bridging this one, as I'd have more power. But that's my own fault, not the amps.

This amp is great I've had it for months now, never over heats and hits pretty hard on my 2 12" kicker comp subs. If you have one sub or even 2 10" this amp is for you its cheap and well worth the money but if your looking for somthing to really hit you may want to go a bit bigger in watts.

Review by
Steamer from KNOXVILLE, TN

I'm running my 2 front and 2 rear door speakers in parallel off the 2 channels respectively and the amp handles them just fine. Granted this amp is probably meant for sub(s), given the low pass filter, but it's cheap and works fine for the speakers. Not a boatload of power for a parallel setup either, but unless you want your ears to bleed while still driving 90mph in a top-down convertible, it's more than enough power. Good crisp, clear and bright sound. Amp definitely gets warm with continuous use but not hot and never overheats. Overall a pretty great buy.

I purchased this amp a few months ago and I also bought the three year warranty. This amp has the perfect amount of power for my single Kicker comp 12. I have ran the amp in extreme heat and freezing cold and it has never shut down. This amp is PERFECT! I even had it on full blast during my drive home from maryland with things resting on it. It was too hot to touch, but it was still running! GREAT DEAL!

I bought this as a package for my car, I already had an MTX amp and sub but they took up too much space. I tried the old MTX with the sub and then this amp with the sub. The MTX I know was way under rated when I bought it and so is this amp. The design is nice and it works well for what I am using it for.

Overall the kit had a good price but the amplifier could've had more watts. I had to buy another amplifier to use with the subs. The kenwood amp that comes with this is for speakers not subwoofers. I also had a problem with the cables. They burned out even with professional installation.

I bought this amp because i own 2 91 toyota mr2's and needed a discrete amp that fits inside the rear glove box on the passenger side. this amp actually fits flat on the floor and i found a place local to me that sold me 2 for $45 each. i have them running 1 10" 4ohm dual voice coil infinity reference sub each in .7cft sealed enclosures and they hit hard enough to rattle my tools off the roof of the car while i was working on it. honestly i wasn't going for that much bass so i had to turn it down some but it was more than capable of pushing it. i ran it at its max potential for a few hours before i got tired of the bass and turned it down.

So far, I have just been playing with this amp out in my garage. I am using it on my motorcycle in a saddlebag. I bought the Kicker KS40 4" speakers. I have them in PVC 3" to 4" elbows with a spacer in between. Will mount that up on the handlebars. I am using a MP3 player for the music. It seems to make those 4" speakers rock. I have yet to mount everything up correctly (correct sized wires/etc.). But, so far, so good. Will try to reply again once it's all hooked up properly. Unsure of the durability, for I have yet to see it work for more than a song or two out in the garage.

This amp is more than I expected for 150 rms. I feel it pushing more witch is great. I got it with a boston G1 sub in a custom box under the seat of my girls 92 silverado ext cab and It really puts that missing boom in there.This amp is barely bigger than a dvd case. Sonic recomends an 8g wire kit but if u get a true size 10g kit that works just fine too but thats up to you. Anyway if your thinking of getting this for a sub or door speakers don't hesitate.

Have this hooked up to a pair or ssl 6X9s and although each speaker wants 88 watts, 75 seems to be good enough! I'm considering upgrading the speakers to better utilize this amp. Kenwood rocks! I do wish it had a variable crossover though. Also it gets kind of hot but not too hot.

This will be my 3rd Kenwood amp, and this thing being so small, it packs such a clean and undistorted power band! The only issue I've had with it, is if you're gonna use the Speaker level inputs, make sure the ground pin is literally grounded to the car. Had a difficult time finding a common ground instead of a floating ground. Once I did that, the signal sounded great! Pushing a pair of 6x8's at 4ohm and it will make my ears bleed! Kenwood always makes a quality product, and this doesn't disappoint. 50 bucks for a whole lot of bang = totally worth it. Would buy another for sure!

Purchased this amp to drive a pair of 4x6 and a set of 5 1/4" Component Infinity Reference sets, I have them wired for 2ohm and this little amp does a wonderful job at pushing them. Nice small package fit under the seat of my girlfriends VW Cabriolet with no problems. Only thing is with design, why did they put the positive and ground terminals RIGHT next to each other, but not an issue just wire neatly. And for the price? Its a kenwood, not a no name!
