Customer Ratings & Reviews

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).

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!!!!!

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

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

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

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.

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.

Great product hits super hard has very high quality sound

This amp is a thing of beauty, high quality materials and a sturdy design in a compact package from what I can tell. I have this mounted underneath the front passenger seats of a Scion tC and it fits easily. The power you get when pairing with a subwoofer at 2ohms (500 watt rms) is perfect and provides plenty of power (more than enough since my subwoofer is 400 watt rms). Overall, I highly recommend it at this price point. For best practice, I recommend using 4 gauge wire for this over 8 gauge to flawlessly deliver power to the amp.

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.

Just installed this after having a cheap amp for my sub. This sounds AMAZING and is an extreme improvement over the other amp. Bass gets reproduced far more accurately and is powerful enough to drive the 12” sub at the same RMS rating hard. I use the high level speaker inputs since bass roll off from my head unit is not an issue. Gain is only a little bit above a quarter of a turn and bass boost is at 6 dB with LPF at 70hz. No distortion, no clipping. It’s also nice the amp will shut off for protection mode immediately when needed (experienced this when adjusting gain) to avoid damaging equipment.

so... i bought this thing, and thinking i would get more power i “upgraded” to the much more expensive audio controls 1.1500. sadly the kenwood DUMPED on the audio control. same setup, same ohm load- and this little beast hits harder than an amp claiming twice the power output - by a more expensive brand no less. i’m sticking with the little kenwood, hands down

I used this amp to power two 250w RMS subs at 2ohms. I couldn't be more happy. It powers them well with no clipping, distortion, and it does not overheat at all. I used the old one to help a friend install subs in her car, and I just bought a second one for myself. Highly recommend for two 250w subs or one 500w sub!

I hve this running with a rockford fosgste P1 10 inch subwoofer (@4ohms). Solid sound and dosent over heat and still Resereved power to run another subwoofer in parallel

Ive had this amp for a few months now and so far I haven't had a single problem with it. Im running 2 12s wired to 2 ohms and it packs a punch. Great quality for the price. The first one I bought was defective, but best buy swapped it out within 10 minutes

This amp hits hard very powerful. I have it hooked up to a kenwood twelve hundred watt Sub It's little but mighty

Great amp, pushes the speaker with plenty of power
