I have this amp running two 12" Kenwoods at a 2 ohm load. The quality is great and it is pretty loud. It has been used almost every day for more than a year, and it is still working great. The paint on mine got a bit scratched when I had an accident, so it is not the most durable paint, but that does not affect the sound.

i have this amp running 2 kicker L5 2 ohm subs, bought it just for awhile to break in subs and sell it to a friend. you wont get 600 rms out of it, it is a good amp doesnt over heat, but it you need a 600 rms amp, this probly wont do it for ya, also wont take a 1 ohm load and constantly blows fuses with a 1 ohm load.

July 10, 2008 Great Amp at a Great Price

I have this hooked up at 2ohms to a 600W RMS Elemental Designs subwoofer and its too much for the sub! this is a great amp and at the prices its offered here for its unbeatable. It has a Good set of adjustments and the optional KCA-WR10 bass remote makes adjusting the Frequency and the Boost level on the fly easy. This is great for me as i listen to many types of music that all sound their best at different settings. This amp will not disappoint.

Only downside i see is the overly exposed power, ground, and remote wire hook ups. Kenwood's solution was to include a black wide rubber band to cover them. This kind of sucks if you have a high visibility install. But for me it was no issue.

I got the X10, its powering a 750 W RMS 15 inch clarion sub. It does it really well, sounds awesome. no quality problems or anything like that. A cap is almost a requirement although. Unlike some other companies, Kenwood doesn't b.s. their product specifications, what they write is true, not like some other names like pyramid which say its a 12000 W amp with just a 40 amperage rating. This is Quality!
