Kenwood Sport Series

When piecing together your perfect audio system, space in your vehicle for audio components can be limited. The Kenwood Sport Series of amplifiers were designed to strike a chord with consumers who appreciate the delicate balance between aggressive cosmetic design and precision audio performance. They also take a smaller footprint than most other amplifiers, making them the perfect addition for any installation that requires exceptional audio reproduction.

This Kenwood KAC-5204 is engineered to output 150 watts of RMS power to two separate channels. This is perfect for powering door speakers that require moderate output levels, or you can bridge the channels together for dedicated output towards one channel. This is useful for higher powered applications, like Subwoofers. Its rated power is CEA-2006 compliant, ensuring all specifications have met the industry standard and are true. The Kenwood Sports Series will make your installation hassle-free looking great!

First let me say that Sonic is a great company with excellent customer service. They seem much more customer friendly than the other large internet store. Now...I got this amp to power a Rockford Fosgate R2D4 10". I am still running my factory door speakers. I just wanted some balance in my system. This amp will certainly do that. I am very impressed with the construction and design. I only wish that it had an option for a bass control. Otherwise, it is an HUGE bang for your buck.
