Kenwood eXcelon KAC-X1R

This is one of those amps that I believe is a little exaggerative on the wattage level it claims. I bought this amp because I thought it would be plenty to push 2 Rockford 10" P3's, but in order for it to perform decently I had to bridge it all the way down to 1 ohm, which is something I don't like doing because thats how **** gets blown. But one thing I can say is that its still thumpin' after 6 months, so we'll see what happens. My only advice is if I could do it over again, I would buy an amp that seems a bit overkill, and if it is, just turn it down instead of having a weak amp that you have to push to it's limits to perform.

This is a great amp for 4 or 2ohm loads, wont take a true 1ohm for long without overheating or blowing fuses.

Speaking of fuses, its fused at 75 amps, so dont expect much more than MAYBE 800 watts, that 1200 watts is a joke and that 2400 wont happen unless you have 3 or 4 of them

Difficult to get speakers in Spain.
The sound generally good with some frequency medium high very good at lower frequencies.

this amp is outstanding. i sold my 9102d Kenwood to get this amp and wow was i surprised. i have not heard many amps go louder than this one because people insist on putting systems in their car without having the battery to run it. this thing has gotten the cops called on me numerous times. i cant go anywhere without someone calling and saying something about my system. a+++++++++ amp

Does not like a 1 ohm load. Fuses blow constantly, overloads on cue, supposed to be 1 ohm stable. Its cute and all. Much happier with my Diamond. Kenwood used to make good stuff, things have changed, I was no happier with my x990 deck.
