Great Amp

So far this amp has been great, it is powering my 2 10' Kenwood Excelon subwoofers great and with plenty of power to spare. It is reliable and small for its power output. Easy installation.

Great Amp!

This is amp is the best value for the money. It pushes 2 Kicker Comp 12s with ease. They hit really hard.

Small but powerful amp!

I would absolutely recommend buying this amp. I replaced a boss amp with the Kenwood amp and the difference was unbelievable! This amp is small but believe me when I say it's powerful. Unlike the boss amp the Kenwood amp has true ratings. You can push it hard and it does not get hot, completely cool to the touch.

Powerful

I have this amp hooked up to a alpine type S 10" rated at 500rms and this amp sure makes the sub work! Playing at max volume with heavy consistent bass at the most I have noticed it gets a little warm but nothing to be worried about! I would definitely buy this again!

Good Value - Nice Unit

This is a great beginner one channel amp. It drives my 1000w subwoofer easily with great sound quality. Does not draw much power and stays extremely cool. Three simple controls adjust sound. Easy to install - do it yourself by watching videos, etc. Don't waste money having it done at an installer!

Great amp

I have this amp running one RE Audio SEX10D4 wired at 2 ohm. It hits nice and hard. The sound is clear and deep.
