Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This little amp puts out power and hits the lows!!! Running 1 12" kicker comp in a 1.2 cube box and WOW, clean and tight. Make sure to tune and check voltage, it will deliver!!!!!

For the price, I don't think you can find better class D mono amp for your subwoofer with 500 watts RMS at 2 Ohm. It has been rock solid for months. I'm driving a Kicker CompR 12" in a ported box with it. Feels sturdy and the included bass remote knob is a plus, albeit simple but does the job. Though it's rated at 500 watts RMS at 2 Ohm, I feel that it actually is putting out more (I don't have proof as I've not tested this, just going by experience).

Has the Power and thump to do the job. Very easy to install and set-up as well.

This app is perfect for my 1987 Toyota extra cab running a 12 Subwoofer it's pretty loud the base is perfect loud comfortable with it.

I have 12” kicker and this amp is perfect for it i recommend this amp for a single speaker use

Gets the job done and keeps my sub sounding good. Got it as part of a sub install kit from Best Buy. Great purchase.

I have this amp powering a Kicker 12 inch sub and it sounds great so far

I love it his little amp. I am running two of them, each one powering a 12” KickerCompR.

Great product hits super hard has very high quality sound

Actually 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

weak cant even 300 watt sub, nice size but can not power 13 inch, bad amp

This is a good amp. Bought it as part of a package. Puts out good power and it sounds like it’s putting out what is rated. Not over or under rated. Good footprint. Fits under the seat easily and easy to hook up connections. I’ve had better amps in the past but for the price paid you can’t go wrong.

Paired this little amp with a single 12” Kicker Comp R in my ‘09 Tahoe, and let me tell you — it flat-out surprised me. I figured it’d get the job done, but this thing woke up the sub in a big way. Clean power, no overheating, and way more thump than I was ready for. Easy install, simple tuning, and it hasn’t missed a beat yet. Not trying to win any competitions, but if you want real-deal bass without emptying your wallet, this amp punches way above its weight class.

Andreas and Z in car audio are outstanding. Best customer service and always looking to give the best advice for best audio. I keep coming back because of them. However, from consumer, it is clear that BestBuy doesn’t care about the car audio business… they have nothing in stock, for two years now. They never have the wires, boxes, subs and amps in stock. To get $1,000 audio sale, the customer has to make an appointment just to review all of the materials needed that you all won’t have in stock. Then the customer has to purchase everything (I had to buy wiring stuff from Amazon). We have to wait 5-7 days for it all to come. Then we need another appointment for customer to change their schedule around to come in and get started. If there’s one thing missed or a problem comes up-GOODLUCK they won’t have the part. Then we start over at step 1 (see above) lol it’s a joke. Your installs bay and audio shelves inside are half empty.

This was a replacement amplifier. Rich bass and crystal-clear sound. Control your bass on the go with the included bass knob remote, ensuring perfect audio customization.

An excellent little amp for subs. I've used it on 2 12" JBLs in a sealed box, 1 12" JBL in a ported box, and a 10" Alpine bass tube and it has done great on all of them. This is actually the 4th of this amp I've purchased and have been totally satisfied and have had no issues with any of them. Definitely recommend, especially on sale or open box buy!

Perfect amp for pushing my 500 watt rms 2 ohm sundown sub! Sounds wonderful and highly recommend the amp for anybody with a sub right around 500 watt rms!

The Kentwood amp was a great buy. The price was awesome and the amp made all the difference in the sound of the music. Looks nice also. Easy to hook up. I’d recommend this product.

I am very impressed with the power output of this amp. I have it powering a 2ohm load, and all I can say is wow!!!! It produces very clean and true RMS power from a tiny package. It seems to dissipate heat very effectively and efficiently, as it is not hot to the touch, or go into a thermal overload when pushed hard. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in a mono amp configuration. It accepts both high level (no remote turn on wire required) and preamp inputs, and comes with a remote bass knob. Definitely an outstanding buy for the money!!!!
