Best Amplifier in its class!!!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This 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.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionI have this amp and the light comes on but no output is coming out. it was working before and another amp i have still works, what is the possible problem?
Asked by daws.
- A:Answer Check your fuses, then check that 12v is getting to the turn-on screw, to tell it to be turned on. If 1 of the 2 fuses is blown it will be harshly imbalanced in the power supply, triggering the protection circuit. If there's no 12v at that third screw, it won't be being told to turn on.

Q: QuestionHow many watts is this amp? How many rms?
Asked by Hiphop.
- A:Answer 300 watts RMS @ 4 ohms, 500 W (probably RMS) @ 2 ohms. Probably the 1000 W printed on the unit means @ 1 ohm, but it doesn't specify that. Also doesn't say whether it is 1 ohm stable, but could be if we looked at Kenwood's actual specs on this model.

Q: QuestionWill this power 2 12 inch cerwin Vega speakers?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Should have no problem at all. CVs are very efficient and built for power. At 300w @ 2 ohms, each will get 150w. Just make sure the total mixed load does not go below 2 ohms, which is two 4 ohm speakers in parallel. Or 1 ohm if the specs allow it, which is really the only way you're going to get 1,000 watts out of it.

Q: QuestionWill this power 2 300 watt rms kicker comp c enclosures you also sell?
Asked by Devo.
- A:Answer Should be plenty of power for that. With 300W @ 4 ohms and/or 500W @ 2 ohms, any efficient speaker will kick butt. Doesn't say what the distortion is, but @ 1,000 watts whatever the distortion is will double over whatever it is at 500W. As a digital amp, it should take no backtalk and thus have excellent damping. That said, this is a mono amp, so whatever your impedance on the speakers is will be cut in half due to the doubling of the conductance path. If your speakers are 4 ohms each that would be ideal, as the load presented to the amp would be 2 ohms. Or 4 ohms if each speaker is 8 ohms.
