Powerful Fan Cooled Amplifier

The Kenwood KAC-7204 is a 2-Channel, 1000 Watt Max Class AB Car Amplifier. The 1000 watts of power is administered into two channels at 2 or 4 ohm, those two channels can also be bridged to a single channel at 4 ohm. This Kenwood amplifier is equipped with 2 cooling fans located on the back panel, this keeps the amplifier from over-heating no matter how hard it is being worked, it also has 4-way protection circuitry (Short circuit, DC offset, Overload, and Thermal) to ensure a long lasting life span. The gold-plated RCA level inputs and screw terminals provide the ultimate sound clarity and eliminates distortion. Variable high and low-pass filters are built-in to this amplifier; the dials on the front panel allow you to fully adjust the filters to suit your needs. The Kenwood KAC7204 is CEA-2006 compliant, this confirms that all specifications and power ratings are accurate and not blown up just for selling purposes. Kenwood has been known to make great products and this amplifier will not ruin their reputation.

most durable!!

Okay boys n girls I've owned this amp little over 3 years now and I have to say after buying it critics doubted this amp, but to this day it's still proving them wrong and exceeding my every expectation. Now I've mainly ran this in my Jeeps with little or no cover just mounted on the back of my box in what I guess is a trunk ha this thing gets best around too hell rained on spilt beer mud crap getting put onto of it. And it hasn't skipped a beat. Most I ever has to do was replace the cooking fans which was like 6$ at radio smack. Above all expected this thing to be dead and ever time it gets wet from rain or river water it just turns off till it's all dry again then right back to thumping . We'll built piece of handy work.

Amp

This is one of the best amps I have ever owned; the power output is great and it has enough power to power up my two 10 inch bazooka tubes.

Great Amp

I have this amp pushing two MTX Thunder 5500 10" subs and its sounds great. the amp delivers clean power and pushes my subs a million times better than my old amp. Is defiantly worth the money

Kenwood amps are bulletproof

After 4 years of hard use (pushing 2 10" infinity perfect VQ's) in a moist trunk my last kenwood kicked the bucket. I liked that amp so much I was going to buy the same model, only to find out it had been discontinued and replaced by this model. After six months I have had no problems whatsoever. Most likely the best power you will get on a budget.

This system we had purchased has worked very well. The Kenwood product is of high quality and we have had no problems with it. I would suggest this product at any level.

Nice amp

I have this amp hooked up to two Kenwood twelve inch sub woofers and I'm going to get another car amp to power my new subs (because selling the Kenwoods). This is such good price and this is reliable I can't wait to see how it will handle my Kicker CVR's or Alpine Type R's.......haven't decided yet.....

SWEET

I bought this amp accidentally. I meant to get the older version but found out this one was newer and had same specs. I got it professionally hooked up and this amp rocks! For having 170W RMS per channel that is plenty of power. I want more though!!! Awesome buy!! I recommend.
