Does it work...?
||Posted .Owned for 10 months when reviewed.Too bad install has never been right and my whole system is jacked. I'm not getting the sound quality or volume I should and would cut out randomly with first day of installation. Been back to install department several times but although Best buy admits it's not pumping out the sound it should, they can't find the issue as to why this is...so I just get to deal with it. Do not let best buy do your install!!!

Good quality, Great Price
||Posted .Had this amp running a kicker compc 10” and was pushing it to hard. Well it blew lol. Hooked up an old kenwood 10” for a week and a half, started buzzing lol. Now have it hooked to a Power Acoustic 12”. Does great. A little under powered and when run hard for more than 45 mins thermal protection kicks in and kills the power till it cools down, what a great feature. Overall nice quality for the price!!!

Amazing
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.It really worked on any subwoofer sizes. Sounded good in my car with two 6" 300W subs installed at doors. It also worked great in a 12" 1200W kenwood sub. Just fine tune to your desired sound quality.

||Posted .Wow is all I can say! For the money the AMP is great! Now I used to install car stereos for a living and have used some high end amps for competitive reasons but this AMP seams to be one that could hang with the big boys! Great job KENWOOD !

Q: QuestionWill this amp work on 1 solar baric L7 kicker 12
Asked by Champ.

Answered by Ricky
Q: QuestionThis amp is available as a "kit" with a 12" Kenwood sub with dual 4-ohm voice coils. Using this amp, should I wire the sub in series or parallel?
Asked by Rick.
- A:Answer Connect the amp in Parallel. I also reccommend an external crossover. I have two 12” Kenwood subs connected to the Kenwood Kac-501 and it hits pretty well.
Answered by BlazinPowerz
Q: QuestionHow many channels is this KAC-501 amplifier.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It is only 1 channel. I bought it as a spare, it works just as good as a 2 channel and for the price it's worth it. If you crank it up while running 2 subs it will heat up if vehicle is stationary and shut down until it cools off.
