Customers praise the Class D Digital Mono Amplifier for its power and sound quality, especially considering the affordable price. The amp's compact size and ease of use are also appreciated, with many finding it simple to install and tune. Some customers have expressed concerns about overheating, but most reviews indicate that the amplifier does not have this issue.
This is a great amplifier. It offers everything you need to push 500+ watts RMS and is an extremely well built amplifier. I have Alpine, Pioneer and Kenwood amplifiers, and I have to say the Kenwood are my favorite next to the Alpine amps. They do not exhibit noise which I have experienced with a few older pioneer amps I have owned. The finish is all metal which is also a big plus for me, because there are a lot of amp out there made with plastic, and just gives the product a cheap look and feel. These are also audibly louder when I compare them to some of my other monoblock amps, and I definitely set my gains with a digital multimeter. I was very impressed with Kenwoods Kac-m3004, I ended up purchasing X501-1, X301-4, KAC-314 and the KAC-511. I can definitely attest that Kenwood’s amplifiers get better with every new generation amplifier they release. And the newer amplifiers are Hi-Res Audio (higher S/N ratio and frequency response) certified, which is a plus when you compare all the amps in this price range of amplifiers.

For the price, I don't think you can find better class D mono amp for your subwoofer with 500 watts RMS at 2 Ohm. It has been rock solid for months. I'm driving a Kicker CompR 12" in a ported box with it. Feels sturdy and the included bass remote knob is a plus, albeit simple but does the job. Though it's rated at 500 watts RMS at 2 Ohm, I feel that it actually is putting out more (I don't have proof as I've not tested this, just going by experience).
