What experts are saying
Q: QuestionI need an amp that produces 100 watts x 2. With all the doubletalk in the specs, I can't figure out if this is the amp I need. (how do you figure an amp only capable of 45 watts x 4 is a 400 watt amp? Doesn't 45 x 4 equal 180???
Asked by phord.
- A:Answer I guess nobody at Best Buy, or Kenwood reads or cares about answering these questions. I asked this in December, and posed the exact same question to Kenwood USA customer support. Neither has responded. I am dumbfounded.

Q: QuestionWill this amp fit in the fairing of a HD Street Glide?
Asked by strick.
- A:Answer Yes.. it should. I have a 2016 Police Electra and it fit inside the fairing with no issues. It should fit on top of a metal bracket/shelf just above your radio or glovebox depending on what model you have. Hope that helps..

Q: QuestionWill this unit provide 100 watts max to each speaker ? I purchased the alpine 45w max per channel. I thought it would be better then nothing. Max output on the Kenwood unit I installed is 45 per channel. How would this unit stand up compared to Alpine?
Asked by Beach.
- A:Answer Depending on installation, it could easily outperform the alpine. I am an alpine fan, but the kenwood amp is rich with features and am sure you won't be disappointed. It powers 4 5-1/4' and two 6.5' with ease and little distortion. I use it on my harley and it easily keeps the volume above my loud pipes and wind noise.

Q: Questionwill this amp power 6 speakers, 4 6x9s and 2 5 1/4s kickers? and will it be load enough for a classic car?
Asked by wildcat465.
- A:Answer No, I mean you will be able to hear your music play but it does not put out enough power to run six individual speakers with any volume. They would start clipping right away. I use it to run four Polk Audio 6 x 9‘s on my Harley. It cranks plenty loud but it has it’s limits.
