Customer Testimonial

This is now the third order I have gotten from sonicelectronix. I ordered on Wednesday afternoon and its already here Friday morning. Not only that the same product at my local audio shop cost 268 and on here it was only 139. This is the best site I have ever ordered from point blank.

I actually have two of this amps at the moment. I have 1 running 2 12's p1's and the other running 2 10's Polk audio's. I have them bridged and they pound hard. The only problem I have is that once in a while my fuses blow, but the amps stays nice & cool and put out clean sound.

I have this amp powering one 10" Type-R, and it bangs the hell out of my minivan. So I put it in my Elantra and it still works great. No problems what so ever. Its a nice amp for a small set-up. If you want big and loud do the research and find out whats best to meet your needs. Just dont over power the amp IT WILL FRY! did that with my first system.

had this model on 2 15" Kicker comps something like 4-500 watts rms overheated it a few times due to wiring them at 2 ohms and finally fried it out one day- my fault, but other than that it was awesome- got a LITTLE warm on real hot days pounding but it would usually shut itself down after it cooled for bout 45 sec. I replaced it with a Kenwood KAC-9152 1800 watt amp which I used till I blew the kickers- got 2 power acoustik 15" fubars wired at 1 ohm- they bumped HARD... but they clipped due to the load of a 2000 watt rms demand- I did not like the one-sided wiring configuration they say it's for convenience but it was more of a pain in my opinion, sorta limits wiring options in tight spots... All in all they are great amps in my opinion- they put out what they SAY they put out they don't B/S you like some cheaper amp brands

I bought this sub because my old 500w sub blew. I didn't know too much about amplifiers, but I think I made a good choice. This amp really brought my subs to life. Even at 150w rms to each sub, they still sounded great. The amp stays cool all day, never had a single problem with it, and it's pretty user friendly. Great quality from Kenwood.

A Friend of mine owns this amp, Powering Two, KFC-W3009's (Kenwood 10's), In his Suburban, in a sealed enclosure. He purchased them as a matched set, one of these whole packedged deals from B*** B**, Besides overpaying them, In my opinion I don't think it's powerful enough for such a big truck, I would say that this amp would be great for someone looking for a little kick, in a sport compact. What I can say is that this amp is extremely reliable it has never overheated on him. Someone mentioned having problems with blowing fuses, I would not recommend cutting out the fuse as this person did. Try a fuse with a higher rating, and see if it still happens.
