want boom?

Ordered this amp from here at sonicelectronix, next day it was at my door from UPS. I payed for the 3 day shipping it was only 4 bucks more than regular shipping, glad I did...it arrived super fast.

I got this amp going to 2 MTX 12's 4 ohms each running them @ 2 ohms. I tell ya this amp pounds, gets a little distorted, but that could be my subs I'm overpowering them by 100w RMS and I like my gain nearly full blast. Definitely worth the money I spent on it. Plus you get a good name brand (Kenwood) to boot. I replaced a clarion with this amp. I don't know how many watts the Clarion was, but this amp is way better than the Clarion was.
After cruising around for over 2 hours amp blasting away gain close to all the way up and stereo volume almost at 100 the whole time, the amp didn't even get hot at all. I've got an 80amp regular stock alternator and my headlights dim slightly but not as bad as some amps I have owned previously.

I'd say go for it if your looking for an amp around 500Rms@2.

Good Value

Great value for what you pay for. I had it to a 12 inch Type R and it bangs. Got the best but for the price its hard to beat.

Nice amp

My friend has this amp hooked up to his 2 12" kenwoods and it sounds good. The subs are a little under powered but the amp stays cool and is a really nice amp!

this amp rocks

I put this amp not only powers my three sony tens, but cracked my rear window in my ford ranger and made the interior rear view mirror fall off! If thats not enough bass then you need to find a new hobby..

after long use lots of wear and tear........

After long use lots of wear and tear, my car finally bit the dust, however my amps still going strong. I drive down dusty roads every day with extreme temperatures in the summer and winter. its been damp, cooked, frozen, dusted, smashed, and it even still looks new once i wiped it down. I'm impressed. I have had this amp for 5+ years pushing 2 e-series 10s and a little extra wattage to my s series 6x9s the sound is crisp and clear with deep lows. Now that my car is gone its time to put it in a 2nd vehicle. I wonder if it will outlast this vehicle too?

Great Amp!

VERY PLEASED Not one complaint. Amazing amp, exactly what I was looking for. I have a single 12 hooked up at 4 ohms and it sounds great. I highly recommend this, you wont be disapointed at all.

I have this sub powering a 10" dvc 4ohm cerwin-vega sub in a ported enclosure. It really surprised me considering it only requires 8ga wiring. It's got clean sound for such a small design. one thing you have to remember is not to crank up the amp gain. Just once did it shut down because the car audio shop that installed it had cranked it up as well as the bass boost.

I'm going to put a dual kenwood kfc3011 sub system in a ported enclosure and see how it does with that. So far with my single 10", it fills my entire car with steady bass!

Good amp

I own this in a Hyundai Elantra powering 2 Kicker CVR's at 4 ohms (300 watts) and even at 100 watt underpowered, it still shakes up my subs. Gets hot sometimes, but thats only when i have the bass cranked with powerful songs. if your looking for a decent amp that will put out power this is a good choice, Kenwood makes good quality stuff.
