Great bang for the buck

Love the amp got it hooked up one alpine type r 12 amp is barley turned up 30 percent and its plenty of boom.

Surprised

Look/Design: Very sleek. Excellent looking design. Wish there was more lighting on it like the 9104 and 9105 but still very clean.

Durability: Pushes a Rockford P3 12 that I wired for 4 ohms, and I push it hard. Longest use was BLASTING it for about an hour, switching between hard rock and rap. Never shut off, and when I got home I checked to see how hot it was... it was warm. Just warm. Remember it's wired for 4 ohms and not 2 so it will get hotter at 2 ohms.

Features: Has low pass and subsonic filters and bass boost. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 only because there is no bass remote option (knob you can run from the amp to the front of car to adjust bass)

Ease of use: Easy to adjust, easy to splice RCA's into the connector, easy to hook up cables.... the same as any other good amp.

Value: Try to find an amp that gives you 1000 rms at 2 ohms and 500 rms at 4 ohms that is CEA 2006 certified for around this price.

Overall: I purchased this amp because I saw it pumped out 500 rms at 4 ohms and was cea 2006 compliant. Honestly I was skeptical at first. I even made sure I could return it for free if it didn't deliver as promise. After breaking in my sub, I set the input signal(gain) to 3/4 and have the bass boost at about 1/4 and it slams my P3. Chest pounding, great quality bass! My Music preference is hard rock and rap and they both sound great.

Conclusion: It is a good amp that delivers as promised for a good price.

My experience with car audio: A.A. in Electronics and have been doing my own car audio as a hobby for 10 years. ( plan on checking true rms when my o-scope at work gets back from calibration= will update)

Best Bang for buck honestly

Had the previous KAC 9105d and it slammed my 2 cvr 124 subs. Not to mention reliability. these stay cool, quite and look nice. And has a true output of 1000w rms at minimum. Would be great to have one of these power a L7 kicker 15"

KAC_9106D

Just got this baby hooked up to a RE audio sex12 and it slams in my vdub. It has yet to overheat on me or get too hot even in the summer heat. I guess the only downside is there is no remote. Great price and easy install

great amp

I had this amp hooked up in a stealth enclosure in the left side t top area of a 02 formula. Its hooked up to a sundown audio E10D4 sub. I had to slightly clearance the box for the sub. Hits hard and sounds good . The rest of the speakers in the car are the factory monsoon with a alpine headunit. Im very happy with the performance of this amp. I took a road trip that's about 3 hours one way and no problems their and back.

Sounds so good

I have this amp hooked up to a Nvx vcw 152 pushing about 1200 rms and it pounds my sub! The power holds true and doesn't get hot! Has a sleek design and all around cool looking!! I would reccomend this for anyone!!

wowzers

if you need a good sub amp, this is it. Sooo much power and quality for the price! Im pushing 2 Kenwood subs (250watts RMS @ 4ohms each) and it has plenty of power!
Only bummer is that you can't get a bass knob- but oh well

Amazing Price & Value.

Setup running over sized 4 gauge wire with second battery in the trunk. I have 2 vehicles running the same setup with no problems using 80 amp inline fuses, pushing 2 alpine type R's 10" subs running at 2 ohms. Makes the body move/warp & the windows almost blow out. amps are only turned up to half, best investment ever! Customer service went above & beyond to make my experience an easy process. I will purchase from this site for all future needs. A must if you want loud bass!! :D

Good upgrade

I had an amp with a bad RCA connection. Replaced it with the same brand and more power and it sounds amazing. Very pleased with the purchase.

This Amp Gets The Job Done!

My ratings pretty much some up my review and I only gave this 4 stars out of 5 for durability because I have only been running this amp for a month. The power you get for the price is hard to beat and it is a Kenwood not some swap meet brand amp. I have it powering a single NVX VCW124 @ 2ohms and it does a good job. Between this amp and another 300 watt amp powering my highs/mids I do suffer some voltage loss on my battery and dimming headlights when I turn the volume up high. I am happy with my purchase and I would recommend this amp to others.

Puts out the power

I bought this kenwood amp to power a massive audio torox 12D4 thats rated at 1000rms and this amp is a perfect match putting out 1000rms at 2ohms, pumps this sub well and sounds amazing.

Tough as nails

I have a single 2ohm DVC kicker l7 s12 wired at 1ohm. this is a 2ohm amplifier and it beats this sub at 1 ohm as long as I want it to without going to protect. I'm impressed

Not a fan

Ran this at 2OHMs. Constantly overheated. I switched up to 4 same issue. Amp lasted about 6mos until it was permanently stuck in "protect" mode. Definitely won't be buying a Kenwood amp again.

This amp is a beast.

I have this amp hooked up to 1 ten inch dual cone and bass can be heard from a block away. The amp is only turned up halfway. Best bass for the buck with this amp.
