Kenwood - Class D Bridgeable Multichannel Amplifier with Variable Crossovers - Black
- Key Specs
- Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 50 Watts x 4 @ 4 Ohm
- Amplifier Class: D (An amplifier's mode of operation, specifically the conditions in which its electrical current flows for the duration of an audio signal, determines its class. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to power efficiency, levels of crossover distortion, and overall sound quality.)
- Number Of Channels: 4
- Bass Boost: None (Circuitry that boosts the bass response of the amplifier, improving audio reproduction enhancing the sound of low frequencies. Fixed boost means the level of bass response is preset, whereas variable boost allows the user to make adjustments.)
- Bridgeable: true (Bridging an amplifier increases the power it supplies to the speaker(s).)
- Low-Pass Crossover: Variable (Devices with this function allow only audio frequencies below a chosen cut-off frequency to pass through to a speaker or sound system. A device may have a cut-off frequency predetermined by its manufacturer (fixed), multiple cut-off frequency options to choose from (selectable), or have the capability for the frequency to be configured by the user (variable).)
- High-Pass Crossover: Variable (Devices with this function allow only audio frequencies above a chosen cut-off frequency to pass through to a speaker or sound system. A device may have a cut-off frequency predetermined by its manufacturer (fixed), multiple cut-off frequency options to choose from (selectable), or have the capability for the frequency to be configured by the user (variable).)
- Speaker-Level Inputs: true (Also referred to as high-level inputs. Enables the amplifier to receive a sound signal from another device that does not have RCA, or low-level, inputs.)

- Audio
- Number Of Channels: 4
- Minimum Frequency Response: 20 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 50 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): 100 decibels (The ratio of the desired signal's strength to the level of background noise. A ratio higher than 1:1, which equates to greater than 0 decibels, indicates more signal than noise.)
- Bass Boost: None (Circuitry that boosts the bass response of the amplifier, improving audio reproduction enhancing the sound of low frequencies. Fixed boost means the level of bass response is preset, whereas variable boost allows the user to make adjustments.)

Product Manuals
Q: Can I bridge this amplifier for more power?
A: Yes, this amplifier is bridgeable.
Q: How much total power can this Kenwood amplifier handle?
A: This amplifier can handle a total of 300 watts of maximum power.
Q: Does this Kenwood amplifier have a bass boost feature?
A: No, this amplifier does not have a bass boost feature.
Q: What kind of circuitry does this amplifier use?
A: This amplifier uses Class D circuitry for reliable power handling.
Q: What is the signal-to-noise ratio of this Kenwood amplifier?
A: This amplifier has a signal-to-noise ratio of 100 decibels.
A: The speaker level connector does come with it when purchased new and not as an open box item.
A: This amp will enhance the power of the head unit. I’m currently using this amp to power my two 6.5 door speakers and two rear 10” subs. The sound is clean and clear. Plenty of good sound without distortion, I am truly impressed on the quality of the amp as well as and most importantly the sound.
Q: I wanna install two 12” 1000w 2ohm subs what kind of amp should i get
A: How much Amp you need depends on the needs of the speakers, the size/shape of the box, the vehicle dimensions & how you wire them. I'd suggest talking directly to the installer @ Best Buy or lookup your car & recommended setup on the Crutchfield website. They tend to be over priced but their website & advice from professional installers is free. As a general rule you will likely want to make sure your amp(s) output at least the total rms needed by the speakers but I recommend more power than the max rating which allows you to run the Amp at a lower power level so that you don't risk overheating. Good luck! - Chris
