Fan Cooled and Powerful
The new Kenwood Performance series amplifiers are amps that truly live up to their name. Delivering high performance constantly and consistently. The Kenwood KAC-7205 is a high powered amplifier with a maximum output of 1000 watts. That power is distributed into two separate channels, or the two channels can be bridged to a single channel. The back of the amplifier features two cooling fans that allow the internal heat to quickly escape the amplifier. This helps the amplifier stay cool no matter how much use it gets. A low-pass filter is built-on to the board of the amplifier and can be adjusted with the dials on the front panel. This helps make the KAC-7205 amplifier the perfect choice for powering a subwoofer. It is also fully compatible with 2 ohm loads, which give the amp a wider variety of compatible speakers and subwoofers. Kenwood has also made this amplifier perfect for those that want to keep a factory stereo installed in their car by accepting speaker level inputs to provide an input signal. This helps make the installation into OEM systems easier and faster. Overall, this 2 channel amplifier from Kenwood proves to be a powerful and efficient choice for any car audio system.

This is a great amp. the first one i have ever owned where you could audibly tell that the adjustable LPF was actually making a difference. I used to own a Cadence ultra Q drive 3000 that put out slightly higher wattage but did not have the SQ i was looking for. it made my MTX subs sound sloppy because it was letting in the high notes. I listen to a lot of metal and when those bass drums start to get fast i like to be able to hear them clearly. This amp will do that no problem with the bass EQ turned down and the gain up. Im going to upgrade my 12" MTX terminators to the alpine type r 10" because it will be tighter and more punchy.

This amp looks nice and works good with my speakers and is good for the price. The only downfall to me is that it has a safety switch built into it, so when it gets too hot, it kicks off. Which is good so you dont blow any fuses, but then the speakers won't work at all. They come back on after a few mins and then go right back off, either the fans in the amp are not working right or I just have bad luck.

I bought this amp to power my 12" Kicker subwoofer. The cooling fan is a great feature and even through hours of use it still remains cool with little to no heat being given off. As I continue to upgrade my car's audio system, Kenwood will continue to be my brand of choice.
