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

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Bass, Power, Set upActually puts out 600 watts rms and thumps a 12” kicker sub I bought. Great power and comes with adjustable bass knob. Also has high input option for factory set ups. Probably the best bang for your buck Best Buy carries

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Purchased this amp for my Bronco. I needed something small that would fit under the front seat with enough power to push the subwoofer. This amp delivered power needed at a good price. I’ve had it working for almost 11 months without issues.

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: QuestionI purchased this amp as a package that included a Kenwood 12" dual voice coil sub. The speaker lasted less than a year and I need to replace it. What would be a good sub to pair with this amp?
Asked by John.
- A:Answer What head unit are you running it off of? A decent head unit will run clean compared to a factory unit or a cheap one. Amplifying a unclean sound will blow your subs. Hopefully this helps.
