Review written by Rafal from Chicago, IL
The before amp I blow the voice coils of it and I thought that it supposed to protect itself but it did not. It was kind of my fault that I wired it up using one OHM and it over powered without heating. I learned my lesson and this amp works better and louder and cleaner. The problem that one person had was that the person did not set the amp up because I had the same problem with it turning off after one song. If you set it right it will last a really long time without even heating and still pounding hard. I even was able to set it so that my lights don't dim when it is pounding hard because I don't have a capacitor yet. I love my new amp and how it is smaller than the other one I had. So be careful and follow instructions and remember to wire up the amp right and set it right to make it last longer. At almost max volume, I believe like 75% this thing was shacking everything in my garage and house and my garage is not attached to my house there is a 15' difference between my house and garage. For future reference don't play two amps without a capacitor for long because it will try to kill your car because of the overload on the Alternator. This is only at peak performance of the amps. So now I am running a 400 watt Kenwood four channel amp powering four 60 watt Kenwood speakers and 1000 watts Kenwood duel mono amp powering two 500 watts 12" subs and no overheating if set right.

Review written by Reed from Biloxi, MS
i have had this amp for about 4 months i am pushing a 12" cvr dual voice coil running at 2 ohms and this thing will overheat everytime sometimes it takes one song sometimes three songs... granted i do play it loud... but why have it if your not beating it?... but its ridiculous.. so glad i am currently upgrading to a kicker zx1500.1 and three 12" (yes three) cvrs in a crew cab frontier

Review written by Eric from Baytown, TX
add a little thump to a stock civic lx for about 200, that was the challenge. I wanted to stress quality over quantity on the bass side and room in the trunk was also a consideration. so a bandpass box with a kicker cvr 10 dvc 4ohm paralleled to 2 ohms and a kenwood kac-8104d pushing 500 watts. sound quality is excellent and it will vibrate the trunk, rear window, dash , seats if needed. i originally ordered the 8103d, because of all the good reviews, but due to backorder i was sent the 8104d being a little unsure as it just came out in Feb 08, i decided to give it a try. its about 30% smaller than its predecessor with the same watt rating and also has auto amp on when you use the high level inputs. I ran it really hard for about 20 minutes and it didn't even show any signs of warming, very impressed with this amp now get your own!!!!
