Certified Output and Reliable Efficiency

High powered subwoofer applications tend to generate plenty of heat to the amplifier powering them. Music can only be enjoyed when an amplifier is on, and when an amplifier reaches high temperatures it will usually shut off to protect it from damage. The Kenwood KAC-9105D has built-in self-activating fans to protect from high temperatures so your system can play longer without having forced intermissions. That means even under stressful conditions, the built in fans will aid the heatsink to effectively cool the amplifier.

With an impressive output rating of 500 watts RMS x 1 Channel at 4 Ohms, and 900 watts RMS x 1 Channel at 2 Ohms, this amplifier is CEA-2006 compliant so all wattage specifications are true to industry standard. The Kenwood KAC-9104D also has the Capability for a 1-Ohm load to achieve over 900 watts RMS! Combined with their total efficiency and high power output, the Kenwood KAC-9105D is the perfect option for any compatible subwoofer application!

This amp is very powerfull, but at the same time makes clean, clear bass. I am running this with 2 15" kicker comp subwoofers at 4ohms and if tuned properly will pound hard.

I have 1 of these amps pushing 2 Kenwood KFC-W3013PS 12" Single 4 ohm Performance subs and they hit hard. My nose tickles from the bass! Haha it has cooling FANS which a lot of amps do NOT so that's a PRO for me. There are no cons. Definitely recommend this amp, its lots of power on a budget if you don't want Alpine, Rockford Fosgate, or Kicker etc.

I have owned this amp for almost a year now and have had no problems with it. I have it pushing 2 Kenwood 12" KFC-3011s at 4ohms and this thing is a BEAST! I have owned a few other amps, but nothing like this one, it has the same power as any other amp in its category at a lower price. I also own a Kenwood KAC-8404 4-channel that is pushing 2 Kenwood 6x9s in the rear and 2 Kenwood 6x8s in the front doors and its pure Sound Quality all the way around. Definitely recommend this amp for anyone looking to build a beginner to intermediate system.
