Best Amplifier in its class!!!
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.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.

Good bang for the price
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Seems to do the job sounds better than my older amp I had. Only complaint I have, is that I ordered the excellent open box product and only received the amp with no accessories which really sucks when the open box item is rated excellent and you receive Satisfactory/fair items ...... Live and learn I guess

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs 8AWG wiring recommended for this amp?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I ran 4ga as it can draw up to 60a of current, and most CCA 8ga is only good for 40a of current. The amp runs flawlessly with 4ga, but might not get enough current running 8ga unLess you run a premium ofc 8ga- a few companies make an 8ga that can run 60a.

Q: QuestionThere must be an issue with this amp in the package being sold with the 2 Kenwood 12's. I have the subs wired at 2 OHM's and the amp blew in 4 days. Light was on and solid with no fuses blown. I return the amp and got another. It lasted 2 days. Why?
Asked by Andy.
- A:Answer I’m not sure but as soon as we hooked up the speakers .. they started smoking .. I had to return it

Q: QuestionI have two 12 inch 1000 watt jbl’s with 250 Wrms 1000Wpeak and impendence of 4ohm each do you think this amp can take both subs?
Asked by Miami.
- A:Answer Yes this will be more than enough for them. They will become a 2ohm load when both are hooked up. This amp is most efficient at 2ohm. Make sure you run proper wire and check your voltage to get rid of distortion and it should sound great
Answered by MIRACL3S
Q: QuestionCan i put this in my car so it can play through my car speakers ?
Asked by Tezz.
- A:Answer The amp will work with any speakers however you need to cross reference the speaker ohm/rms to make sure they are compatible with the amplifier. It would be best to consult with our in store installation team by either visiting the store or calling them.
