Clean Power

I have this amp powering Polk DB1001 Tweeters. I also have Polk DB651's in the doors and Polk DB461's and a Polk DB840 sub all powered by Kenwood amps at max RMS. The Kenwood amps are clear and clean. Excellent sound quality.

Nice amp

I bought this amp to power four 6x9's at two ohms. It is a no frills, behind the seat of a truck install. It does a great job. The price is perfect. I will always recommend Kenwood products.

Great bass kit

The following review is for a previous version (KAC-5203).

I highly recommend this package, build yourself some big 1.9cuft vented boxes and they thump, very accurate bass. That said i dont think the 350watt amp is what these speakers want, i got a 1000watt amp and it (ofcourse) really took it to the next level, and they handle extra power very well. had them for about 8months now and still booming.

Great.

The following review is for a previous version (KAC-5203).

The woofer and amp that i got from you guys was a great hit. The set up sounds spectacular. everyone thinks that I have more than one speaker. I couldn't ask for a better deal for the sound they produce. Thank You guys.

Lotta Punch In Little Package

The following review is for a previous version (KAC-5203).

Like the title says...the power suprized me. I pushed my two 10 inch subs great!!! Good deal and it is small enough to hide if you don't have a lot of room.

Great!

The following review is for a previous version (KAC-5203).

I ordered this about 6 months ago and installed them in my car. I still love it! It makes for some great bass :) Also, the ordering/shipping was sooo fast, I was very pleased with the service of this website and would order from here again.

$99 for an amp and 2 10 inch woofers? CRAZY CHEAP!

The following review is for a previous version (KAC-5203).

Bought this to put in the wife's expedition. I thought that a vehicle so big a couple of 10's would give it a little bass, but I WAS NOT expecting to feel slight air movement! This amp did a great job on the 10's that came with it!

good amp

The following review is for a previous version (KAC-5203).

I've had this amp hooked up to some Kenwood 6x9s for about 5 months now. Haven't had any problems, with it and it puts out more than enough power. Good quality at an affordable price.

Review on amp

Awesome amp, im using this amp on my 2015 victory cross country, the wiring schematic that came with the amp was pretty straight forward, i wished it would came with more higher quality fasteners. This is by far the easiest amp ive installed on anything, the auto turn on made the installation a breeze, the packaging was neat, and well protected upon recieving. Price was in the middle not to cheap not overly priced, sonic electronix thanks again.

Good bang for your buck

This amp may be small and not a lot of watts but let me tell you this it gets the job done plus if your like me and dont want people to know what you got its soo small you could hide it...Look great amp I have it hook to a 10" Kicker and this car thumps but the sound is soo crisp trust me you need this amp and for the cost its a no brainer.

Great little amp

The following review is for a previous version (KAC-5204).

First let me say that Sonic is a great company with excellent customer service. They seem much more customer friendly than the other large internet store. Now...I got this amp to power a Rockford Fosgate R2D4 10". I am still running my factory door speakers. I just wanted some balance in my system. This amp will certainly do that. I am very impressed with the construction and design. I only wish that it had an option for a bass control. Otherwise, it is an HUGE bang for your buck.

Bicycle amp....

I have this in a saddlebag on my hybrid bicycle running (2) 6 1/2" Polk Audio speakers in a PVC pipe enclosure. Overkill on the front of a bike. But, man do they get loud/sound good. Party on wheels!

By Dubs on February 20, 2018 Checkmark Icon Verified purchase


Great Value!

Using this amp on my bicycle in a saddlebag, alongside a 12v/10ah battery. It's running (2) Polk Audio DB651's in a PVC pipe enclosure, and is doing it just fine. Using an older iPod Nano for the music. 'Old School' set-up (no Bluetooth!). Very happy with this purchase.

By Dubs on August 16, 2017


powerfull little amp

i bought this to drive 2 custom built 2 way speakers for the rear of a Honda CRV has plenty of power and no noise like the last Boss amp i had.Definately the best bang for the buck!

By paul on June 16, 2017


Lots of Power in a Small Package

For it's relatively small size, this Amp packs plenty of punch. Used it to drive two 6"x9" Pioneers in the rear of my '81 Corvette hooked up to a RetroSound radio.Sounds so much better now. Clear and Crisp sound.
Wiring was straight forward. Completely satisfied with this Amp.
Sonic had the BEST price by far that I could find!

GREAT SOUND

I bought the kenwood kac-5206 amp to power the rear speakers in my 2009 ford f-150 and it puts out great sound. both highs and lows. It was a eszy install. agaln great sound

By DENNIS D. on August 24, 2016


Great power, value and small size

Nice little amp for a modest car audio system. I have two of these amps. One on a 10" Pioneer sub in a sealed box and the other on the front door speakers. The system plays loud and clear. The only thing I wish it had with the addition of the LPF (Low Pass Filter) would be a high pass filter for the fronts. Fortunately my stereo has a crossover in it so for me, it's not necessary.

By EdP on August 22, 2016 Checkmark Icon Verified purchase


Great Value

This product is lightweight and easily installed. The sound is perfect.

By Stephanie on August 16, 2016


Okay but not great.

I got this for $55 and at that price it's okay. I used this to power some JL 650's components and I must say I was very disappointed. It not a very clean sound and distorts at not so high volume. For a budget amp I would so go for it but if you want loud then I'll say pass. No EQ options

Reliable products

If you are looking for a small amp this is a nice reliable amp

By marcos on July 17, 2016 Checkmark Icon Verified purchase


Well designed power in a little package.

It does well for such a small amp. The packaging is small and tidy. There aren't many controls but for the price, this little guy performs well. I have it running a pair of Rockford Fosgate components, and it jams hard. The "400W" printed on the front is just fluff, but it definitely puts out the rated 60wrms per channel with little to no distortion.

By The-Soundman on July 13, 2016


Nice amp for my Harley

This is a nice amplifier for my Harley Davidson it sounds great the only downside is that it gets warm so I added cooling holes in my chopped tour pack if this was digital it would be perfect.

By Benzo on July 11, 2016


Very nice sounding amp

Bought this to add to a Kenwood KMM BT315u head unit and RF 6x8 2 way speakers for my F150. The amp gives everything a nice clean, sound and is a great improvement over the 5 year old Kenwood CD player/radio that was in there before. Kenwood quality and ease of install plus a great price. Can't be beat if you just want a nice amp to clean up your sound but don't want to blast the windows out of your car. Its also a very nice looking amp, If I was using it in a car, I would want to mount on the back deck because it would look so nice with the blue LED lighting up and the nice shape of the unit.

Owner

Good product sounds good and I love the size of it

By Yank on March 18, 2016


Best amp for the money..

I am an Electrical Engineer and tested this amp at my work. Tested for frequency response, power output, and phase distortion (Square wave tilt at low frequencies). Very clean signal, wide bandwidth with minimal phase shift, and power rating conservative with 4 ohm loads and supply of 14.4VDC. I always test my amps and this one is very good, of course the sound met my expectation.. The CEA-2006 compliance is important, because it makes the manufacturer honest to meaningful power specs..

loud !

This little amp is pushing two Kenwood 6x9's and bridged to a 8 inch aftermarket sub in factory location, and it sounds amazingly loud and clear my daughter says it's burns her ears. Wish that it had some sort of bass boost or low pass filter control I have always been a fan of Kenwood products till it's now jvckenwood, seems to be holding up nice even after pushing it hard for fifteen to twenty minutes, until I started smelling a Lil smoked resin from the speakers burning up a tad all in all great amp serves it purpose to replace factory amp
