Best bang for your buck

Don't let this little amp fool you it packs quite a punch I have it pushing a 10 inch Orion sub in a Bandpass box, the sound quality and bass output is amazing, will definitely reccomend this amp!!!

Good amp for the money

I bought this amp to power the rear 6.5" Polk DXI 650s speakers in my CX5. They sound very good. A few things to note; this amplifier does not have a high pass filter and I wish I had thought of that before I bought. I had to purchase base blockers to block out the unwanted bass. It also uses a three wire setup instead of four for the speaker level input, which I thought was odd but it works fine. Other than these minor gripes I have, it seems to be pretty solid and light weight.

Good product

Muito bom o amplificador pequeno e muito bonito, sem falar na qualidade do som. Eu importei para o Brasil e chegou rapidinho, só tive que pagar imposto, mas mesmo assim valeu a pena.

Awesome deal !!

My original setup was an alpine cda105 head unit and alpine sps6.2 components. The head unit just didn't have enough, so i bought this amp to run the components. I am amazed at the performance!!! I have been installing systems for 15 yrs, and am amazed at the clarity this amp brought to my speakers! I highly recommend!

amp

I can finally give a good review on my 600 dollar purchase I made recently this is a good amp for the price

Great product for the price

Amp works great. Installed to a 12 in speaker and works perfect.

Great!!

Works great. Doesn't get hot. Pulled my Polk tweets GREAT!!! No cons!

Great Little Amp

I have this amp powering a JBL GTO804 in a sealed box in the trunk of my '07 Honda Accord EX. I can't believe how much clean bass this tiny amp can put out without overheating. It won't rattle your car apart, but it definately puts out 150 watts like the box says.

Amazing product!

I bought this with the dual 12 inch subwoofer and a housebrand enclosure and its amazing! its pushes the subwoofer greatly. Defintly pushes power it says.

value for money

Well featured and more than enough power to run the Pioneer TS-SWX251 sub and enclosure I bought it to run.

Easy to setup and looks fairly sturdy.

Awesome Amp!

Bought this amp to hook up to my 12in kenwood sub, works great. Hits hard and gives your car a nice thump. Thinking about buying another one to put another sub in my trunk.

Great Little Amp!!!

I bought this amp when it was cheap and it has been a great investment!!! I used it to power a set of components and it made my speakers sound crisp and clear!!!

Lame

Not even 6 months old lost a channel. Get what you pay for.

Pounds for little money down.

This amp is a tiny little powerhouse, I mean, it really goes to town no matter what application you put it on.

Currently, I have two of them, one connected to two of the Kenwood 8 ohm subs (used to be a great deal, now are far too much for what they do) and the other connected to some PowerBass 6x8's in the rear door of my 02' Escape.

Quick note, if you plan to use this on your door speakers, make sure you have a Head Unit with a HPF, because this only comes with a LPF built in and you will find out fairly quickly just how devastating some of those low notes can really be when your pushing actual power through the speakers.

Back on track, the 2 8 ohm subs wired down to 4 ohm (that's 150w RMS) really hit quite hard. I don't have my system optimized, but it really lets loose with VERY little distortion at volumes higher than you'd expect.

The only real downside to the amp is that it's much bigger than it seems, and it's got some odd angles that make it difficult to mount in small spaces.

Either way, it's an amp I'd recommend in a heartbeat for beginner sub systems or someone running door speakers that can take 60 watts of abuse.

Best amp for the price

This has been my first amp I use to power a 500 watt kicker and it rocks very loud bass for a beginner and I push this amp to the max....had it a month and it hasn't overheated once and still sounds great would recommend to anyone

Very good mid-range speaker

I use this amp for my 8" mid range Rockford Fosgates but I have also hooked it up to 6x9's. This amp punches out both. Do not use more than 2 speakers, sound quality suffers. I would buy another one of these for my other car.

Awesome little Amp

Just enough power for one sub . This amp won't disapoint for the entry level systems it gives you just enough bass for the system to sound clean but your not going to win competitions .. put mine in my wife's suburban powering a Kenwood 12" shallow mount and it hits very nice and sounds good. Only con is i would of liked it if there was a bass boost adjustment on the amp seeing how I'm running the stock head unit you have to turn up the volume a decent amount to get that deep bass to pump out ..With that being said still sounds great can't beat the quality for the price.

Best deal for your buck.

I love this amp because it delivers very nice and clear bass. It doesn't shake my car but it can easily shake my seat and rear view mirror with my 8 inch JBL GTO80 200 RMS sub ( Briedged). And it makes my car 4 way system complete. I run my 3 way ( woofer , midrange, tweeter) with 4 channel MPF300 Alpine 300 RMS (2 ohm). 4 way system it's a complete different experience. Amazing. My head unit is pioneer DEH6200.

Nice Amp!

Have this hooked up to a pair or ssl 6X9s and although each speaker wants 88 watts, 75 seems to be good enough! I'm considering upgrading the speakers to better utilize this amp. Kenwood rocks! I do wish it had a variable crossover though. Also it gets kind of hot but not too hot.

Kenwood amp

Really good for 10 inch sub or 2 speakers , next time I'll buy 3 , one for 10 inch sub and two for 4 speakers

Amp Still Working Great!

I still have this on my motorcycle in a saddlebag powering (2) 5.25" speakers in a PVC enclosure up on the handlebars. I use an iPod for the music source. I put it in last fall, and it still sounds as good now as it did then. Great little amp for this type of application. I can run the music for hours w/o the bike running, and it does not run the battery down! I can go on day long rides, and this amp doesn't get hot. Great amp. Easy to hook up. Would recommend to anyone looking for a small-ish sized amp to run some good mids.

great amp

used the amp in a boom cooler pushing 2 alpine 6.5's and 2 alpine 5.25 and it sounds great. I would recommend this amp to anyone who needs a small amp that plays clean sound.Small footprint. I am running the amp in full mode on the crossover and it sounds great.

Diminuitive but powerful

I needed an amp to drive my Pioneer TS-SWX251 sub and this amp has been the perfect companion to it. That sub is super compact but puts out impressive tight bass. This amp is so small that I mounted it under the front passenger seat in my WRX and there is still plenty of foot space for rear passengers. It has had plenty of power (when bridged) for my 4 ohm sub. To top it off, the price is right.

Little amp

I bought this amp to push my 12" kicker comp in a truck box. It worked just fine did everything i pushed it do, just got REALLY hot at time. never shut off or anything though.

Good amp

Kenwood is a good brand, and as always delivers. Used it in my subaru with a boston 8" sub and sounds great.

great amp

I had this pusing my door subs and it sounded awesome but it wasn't enough for them so i upgraded to the kicker ZX500.1 1 for each. This amp is really durable and really well built and can push your mids or subs.

Good amp for the price

Seems to be a good amp for the price. Looking back I wish I'd just bought a mono amp for my sub instead of bridging this one, as I'd have more power. But that's my own fault, not the amps.

Decent little amp

I never have liked kenwood at all but i bought this amp cuz it was cheap and let me tell you it works very well. We hooked it up to a type-r 12 and it did very well it harder than it did hooked to a 1000 watt hifonics amp its a good buy.

Great value

I'm running this amp off the stock deck in my 2010 Honda Civic to power a pair of Polk db651 in the rear deck. It is very compact, light and puts out just the right amount of clean power to augment the factory system. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Nice job Kenwood!

Awesome Little Amp

Got this thing about a year ago. Have it powering a MTX TN12-O4. Not the most powerful thing, but it certainly does the job. Plenty of power. I have yet to even try and set the gains for it. Overall is a great product. Considering another one for my front speakers.

Awesome Amp

I bought this amp in the kit with the Rockford Fosgate R1S4 10" Sub, and wiring kit. I built a custom enclosure into the backseat of my 99 Regal. This amp gives my sub the perfect amount of power. Would recommend to anyone on a budget trying to add a lot of bass to their car. Don't be fooled by the price, Kenwood and Rockford Fosgate are Quality brands. This amp/sub combo wont let you down.

Kenwood kac- 1502s

Powerful little amp. It powers my ts- swx251 sub!!!!sounds great!!!

Great product

Easy to install and gives my speakers a good sound.

Great Little Amp! 2nd Review....

The first time I reviewed this I just barely hooked it up to some 4" Kicker speakers in a PVC tube (90 degree elbows) enclosure to see how they would sound. It did a great job on those (may still use?). Well, I swapped those speakers out for some 5.25" Aura speakers from another seller (P.E.), and put them into a larger PVC enclosure. I have them up on the handlebars of my '00 Yamaha Roadstar. Let me say that those speakers rock with this amp powering them. Crisp/clean/clear sound. I was amazed. I even had stuff packed up against the amp in my saddlebag for my weekend trip, and it barely got warm! And, I went on a 4 hour ride. Great little amp to run mids/highs. Barely draws any power. Excellent 2 channel for my motorcycle!

amazing value and durability

This amp is great I've had it for months now, never over heats and hits pretty hard on my 2 12" kicker comp subs. If you have one sub or even 2 10" this amp is for you its cheap and well worth the money but if your looking for somthing to really hit you may want to go a bit bigger in watts.

Great amp

This amp is great it powers my kicker component speakers amazingly. I am looking to buy another one to power another pair of speakers it is great.

kenwood reliable

CEA compliant true ratings cheaper than retailers.

cerwin vega 122

love the brand the speakers were great will definitely continue to buy there products

great product

great price! great product that's way under rated I recommend for any system that need a amp

Great amp

This amp has a good amount of power, gets the job done.

My great amp

I purchased this amp a few months ago and I also bought the three year warranty. This amp has the perfect amount of power for my single Kicker comp 12. I have ran the amp in extreme heat and freezing cold and it has never shut down. This amp is PERFECT! I even had it on full blast during my drive home from maryland with things resting on it. It was too hot to touch, but it was still running! GREAT DEAL!

worth the money

For the price it's great! I wanted something that would knock but not flip the car over beside me at the stop light. Perfect for me.

Gets the job done

I have this amp in an icechest radio pushing a set of Polk db691's. It has all the power I need and even sealed in a cooler, it never overheats. It is small and lightweight but powerful enough to rock.

Not a bad amp for the money

I bought this as a package for my car, I already had an MTX amp and sub but they took up too much space. I tried the old MTX with the sub and then this amp with the sub. The MTX I know was way under rated when I bought it and so is this amp. The design is nice and it works well for what I am using it for.

Nice!

Great little amp nice power and price for powering single 10" sub.

Best little amp i have ever owned.

I bought this amp because i own 2 91 toyota mr2's and needed a discrete amp that fits inside the rear glove box on the passenger side. this amp actually fits flat on the floor and i found a place local to me that sold me 2 for $45 each. i have them running 1 10" 4ohm dual voice coil infinity reference sub each in .7cft sealed enclosures and they hit hard enough to rattle my tools off the roof of the car while i was working on it. honestly i wasn't going for that much bass so i had to turn it down some but it was more than capable of pushing it. i ran it at its max potential for a few hours before i got tired of the bass and turned it down.

amazing amp fpr size and watts

PLEASE do NOT underestimate this amp it says 350 watts but thats true power. Despite its size this amp pushes my 2 12's harder then my friends 1000watt amp. This amp is a great one to start with you will be heard!!

Good value for the money

I primarily bought this amp because of the higher end frequency response, to drive a bank of piezo drivers through a crossover. So far it has not disappointed me and is working well in this application.

pretty decent

This amp is solid, i had the older model and now this one. Same power and features, this one looks nicer. Pounds a single 10 well. Set crossover is limiting though.

Great radio

We are very happy with this amplifier. It has good sound and features.

Awesome

This amp is nearly perfect for the price. Using it on a pair of Pioneer TS-A6994R's and it's a perfect match. The only thing wrong with it is the spade terminals for power and ground.

Coaxial Speakers right for the job

This product is great to use on grill speakers. I have them at 4ohms 60w and have the gain all the way up. Doesn't make them distorted, it's just right for polk audio coaxial 6-1/2" speaker. Super great job well done!! Loudest range hear you from a block away maybe two blocks.

Good value

I was skeptical at first because of the low cost. It is powering 2 JBL door speakers and have not had any problems at all. No overheating or anything. Well worth the price, I might just buy another for keepsake.

kenwoodkac1502s

A very good product for the price. Would recommend to a friend.

Great AMP!!!

Installed with a JBL 8" sub to get a little more sound in my Dodge Ram 2500. Sounds great.

Great Amp

doesn't get hot, powers the pioneer sub perfectly. Great for a smaller system that won't kill your ears but will provide clean bass.

KENWOOD KAC-1502S

So far, I have just been playing with this amp out in my garage. I am using it on my motorcycle in a saddlebag. I bought the Kicker KS40 4" speakers. I have them in PVC 3" to 4" elbows with a spacer in between. Will mount that up on the handlebars. I am using a MP3 player for the music. It seems to make those 4" speakers rock. I have yet to mount everything up correctly (correct sized wires/etc.). But, so far, so good. Will try to reply again once it's all hooked up properly. Unsure of the durability, for I have yet to see it work for more than a song or two out in the garage.

awsome amp

bought this amp to put in my wifes car with one pioneer 10 had it installed today an it booms the 10 is in a sealed box 1cb ft of air space she loves it

Kanwood amp

The amp has a great output and I like the quality very much.

Such a good buy for the money!

This will be my 3rd Kenwood amp, and this thing being so small, it packs such a clean and undistorted power band! The only issue I've had with it, is if you're gonna use the Speaker level inputs, make sure the ground pin is literally grounded to the car. Had a difficult time finding a common ground instead of a floating ground. Once I did that, the signal sounded great! Pushing a pair of 6x8's at 4ohm and it will make my ears bleed! Kenwood always makes a quality product, and this doesn't disappoint. 50 bucks for a whole lot of bang = totally worth it. Would buy another for sure!

Small Package, Great Amp

Purchased this amp to drive a pair of 4x6 and a set of 5 1/4" Component Infinity Reference sets, I have them wired for 2ohm and this little amp does a wonderful job at pushing them. Nice small package fit under the seat of my girlfriends VW Cabriolet with no problems. Only thing is with design, why did they put the positive and ground terminals RIGHT next to each other, but not an issue just wire neatly. And for the price? Its a kenwood, not a no name!

Pretty good

It is a really great amp for the price it can power just about any sub well

Great Buy!

Great little Amp for the price. Pushes my 2 KFC-W112S speakers excellent.

Good Price

Overall the kit had a good price but the amplifier could've had more watts. I had to buy another amplifier to use with the subs. The kenwood amp that comes with this is for speakers not subwoofers. I also had a problem with the cables. They burned out even with professional installation.

great

Good, last a very long time, very good sound and holds up.

Kenwood KAC-1502S

I bought one of these to push my Rockford Fosgate 8" subwoofer and i couldn't be more impressed, amazing combo, and it looks cool.

well alright

Well i got bored yesterday and hooked it up to my 12" Pioneer and I usually have a crunch 1k on it but this little amp puts that one to shame. Buy this amp.

Could not be happier

If it wasn't such a great price it would still be a great value!

GOOD BARGAIN

I use it with two infinity speakers in my fleetwood and it sounds very good. After six months the only complaints i had were from people sitting in the back when i pump the speakers.

The car guy

Excellent amp I did not think this amp wouldd pound my rockford fosgate sub but man was I wrong. I am very happy with this amp installed in a Chevy crew cab and it fills the truck with nice bass. Would also like to say that SonicEletronix rocks. Great prices and great service.

GOOD POWER OUTPUT! CLEAN!

Good power output! Clean!

Solid amp, cool temp.

I'm running my 2 front and 2 rear door speakers in parallel off the 2 channels respectively and the amp handles them just fine. Granted this amp is probably meant for sub(s), given the low pass filter, but it's cheap and works fine for the speakers. Not a boatload of power for a parallel setup either, but unless you want your ears to bleed while still driving 90mph in a top-down convertible, it's more than enough power. Good crisp, clear and bright sound. Amp definitely gets warm with continuous use but not hot and never overheats. Overall a pretty great buy.

awesome amp

The power of this amp is so awesome and the sound it gives your speakers is great. Lots of power for a lil money.

Great Value; Versatile

Used it to power an add-on subwoofer to a stock system. Easy hook-up with speaker level input. Nice, clean sound powering a polk DB 840.

ok

I bought this cause of the price. It work good I am running a Lanzar MXA224 (1000 watt rms bridged) pushing a 12" Kenwood KFC-W3013PS. I only have two bad things to say. Once it was hard to strip the wire and the connectors are horrile (bought my own). 2nd the remote wire was worthless, after running all my wires came to find out it didnt work.. I had mounted my amp to the box so I only needed about a foot of speacker wire. To fix the problem of the remote line not working i just used the remaing speacker wire as the remote. Problem FIXED. All in all it works fine.

great value and name brand

Gave my stereo that little extra that it needed.

good amp

This is a great amp to run my rear components. Thinking of buying one for front speakers.

Decent

This kit is not bad at all just under 8 awg and i think it deserves more appreatiation then the prior reviewer.

Not true to gauge

Bought this kit mainly on the low price and fact it stated it was "true to gauge". Well, no surprise that is not in fact true to gauge. The wires all look to be more insulation and very little inner wire. I mean, these inner wires are as thin and flimsy as it gets. Ok, the power and ground wires arent THAT bad (thin but not terribly thin), but the remote and speaker wires are just about worthless. Also, the RCA cables are about the cheapest Ive ever seen. I tried the fit on my amp and they barely hold on...a few potholes or deep bass hits and these things will probably work themselves off. Luckily, I have a set of high grade RCAs I will be using instead of the set from this kit. And since Im only using this kit to run approx 40rms x 2, Im guessing the thin wires should be able to handle it.
The only seemingly well built piece of this set would be the fuse holder.
Bottom line...If you absolutely cant afford a few extra dollars and arent planning on running high power, this set should work fine for you. Otherwise, Id advise saving a few extra beans and getting something slightly better for you buck.
I will never knock SE, I think they are great and prices are just about unbeatable (esp when u factor in that most of their stuff also has free shipping).

Good hookup!

Nice price and value. Will buy again.

lousy

The wire connectors cracked when I crimped them. had everything you need to do a good clean job but the connectors just weren't worth a fish scale. Spend a little more money. It will be worth it.

Powerful

This amp is more than I expected for 150 rms. I feel it pushing more witch is great. I got it with a boston G1 sub in a custom box under the seat of my girls 92 silverado ext cab and It really puts that missing boom in there.This amp is barely bigger than a dvd case. Sonic recomends an 8g wire kit but if u get a true size 10g kit that works just fine too but thats up to you. Anyway if your thinking of getting this for a sub or door speakers don't hesitate.

Its bullz audio

When you order bullz audio you get bullz audio quality. So in essence yes you get what you pay for. For your everyday 600 watt amp this setup is great for the price. This is not as bad as that one dude described on the other review.

Con- remote wire is basically fishing line, but you can run 14awg for remote which i would recomend or 12 if your splitting it for multiple amps.

Just ok but nothing special here

I used this bridged on my JL Audio W3V3 and it was underwhelming at best. Put back on my 25 year only Alpine twoo channel amp rated for the same power with the same 25 amp fuse and that subwoofer came alive. As they say you get what you pay for.
