Kenwood KAC-7202

decent

i owned one of these awhile back it worked well for awhile but after about 6 months it burnt out so i got rid of it and went to rockford fosgate

great amp

I actually have two of this amps at the moment. I have 1 running 2 12's p1's and the other running 2 10's Polk audio's. I have them bridged and they pound hard. The only problem I have is that once in a while my fuses blow, but the amps stays nice & cool and put out clean sound.

Kenwood makes a decent amp

had this model on 2 15" Kicker comps something like 4-500 watts rms overheated it a few times due to wiring them at 2 ohms and finally fried it out one day- my fault, but other than that it was awesome- got a LITTLE warm on real hot days pounding but it would usually shut itself down after it cooled for bout 45 sec. I replaced it with a Kenwood KAC-9152 1800 watt amp which I used till I blew the kickers- got 2 power acoustik 15" fubars wired at 1 ohm- they bumped HARD... but they clipped due to the load of a 2000 watt rms demand- I did not like the one-sided wiring configuration they say it's for convenience but it was more of a pain in my opinion, sorta limits wiring options in tight spots... All in all they are great amps in my opinion- they put out what they SAY they put out they don't B/S you like some cheaper amp brands

Very nice amp!

I bought this amp from a local shop when it first came out. The store owner assured me that it was strong enough to push a JL 10W7 with no problems. I was skeptical, but nonetheless...I got it. I then purchase a Phoenix Gold Xenon X10D2 10" sub (dual 2 ohm voice coils) rated at 450 watts. The sub is in a sealed box and I've had it going now for almost 7 months with only some minor problems in the beginning.

The problem I had was the in-line fuse I installed at the battery kept getting so hot, that the fuse housing would melt. After going through 3 fuse housings, I finally just took it out completely and spliced the wires back together with no in-line fuse. Since then...I've had NO problems with the amp at all. Only concern I have is that it does run a bit hot, but it doesn't seem to mind the heat at all.

This amp is definitely a solid performer when hooked up correctly and all the settings are correct on it. One reason folks might be dealing with burn out is they'll set the input sensitivity too high which makes the amp work harder. Set the input sensitivity to match the input, then work with the bass boost and LPF settings on the amp. After that, use your head unit to tweak your sound.

ok first amp

Good amp for a while. It will pound hard but mine only lasted for 6 months, then got rid of it and went to US Acoustics and never had any more problems.

I bought this sub because my old 500w sub blew. I didn't know too much about amplifiers, but I think I made a good choice. This amp really brought my subs to life. Even at 150w rms to each sub, they still sounded great. The amp stays cool all day, never had a single problem with it, and it's pretty user friendly. Great quality from Kenwood.

Reliable amplifier.

A Friend of mine owns this amp, Powering Two, KFC-W3009's (Kenwood 10's), In his Suburban, in a sealed enclosure. He purchased them as a matched set, one of these whole packedged deals from B*** B**, Besides overpaying them, In my opinion I don't think it's powerful enough for such a big truck, I would say that this amp would be great for someone looking for a little kick, in a sport compact. What I can say is that this amp is extremely reliable it has never overheated on him. Someone mentioned having problems with blowing fuses, I would not recommend cutting out the fuse as this person did. Try a fuse with a higher rating, and see if it still happens.

Great Amp. I have this amp in my 02 Honda Powering two Boston Speakers and it Rocks!

Grate AMP.

I have this amp powering one 10" Type-R, and it bangs the hell out of my minivan. So I put it in my Elantra and it still works great. No problems what so ever. Its a nice amp for a small set-up. If you want big and loud do the research and find out whats best to meet your needs. Just dont over power the amp IT WILL FRY! did that with my first system.

I use to have this amp and i had no problems at all with it and it gave out great power! The amp stays cool and rarely gets hot like most other amps. kenwood makes a good quality amp.
