Great amp, great sound
Written By Seth, Huntington Station, NY on Sunday, December 17, 2006

I install car audio and security for a living, and I put this amp into my girlfriend's car today. I have 4 pioneer speakers running off the front channel (This amp will give 90 watts rms at 2 ohms). The rear channel is bridged to power a 10 inch MTX subwoofer. I have the radio set flat with the crossovers on the amp doing all the work, and it sounds great, stays cool, and gives me zero noise! Not to mention it looks nice.

Great sound when volume is moderate
Written By Angel, Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday, May 31, 2006

This is a great amp if you want to give your stock system more power with cleaner sound. I would not recommend it if like running your system LOUD!! It has horrible thermal protection and within 10 minutes of running it at over 70% power, it will automatically cut the volume and go into thermal protection mode. It is very annoying and embarrassing when you are trying to show off your system. Kenwood makes great head units/recievers, however I would never buy a Kenwood amp again. I returned the amp within 30 days and got my money back. I invested in a slghtly more expensive kicker 4 channel amp. Works great!!

Kenwood KAC-8402
Written By Kara, South Dakota on Monday, May 01, 2006

I have this powering 2 10 inch MB Quarts... The first amp I installed had some kind of manufacturing defect but Crutchfield had a new one at my house within the week. Definitely worth the money, and definitely pumps some sound.

Great Highs Amp!!!
Written By Galant_Rider87, Quitman, Georgia on Tuesday, February 07, 2006

This amp is one of the best amps that i have ever had in my car audio system. This is one amp that really dishs out the power that my speakers really need. I'm running a set of Kenwood i605s in the door with a mounted tweeter, which is screaming like a new born baby. The amp is very is easy to tune and very simple to hook up like all amps should be. All in All this amp is worth all the money that i dished out for it.
P.S. will add additional speakers such as the i705(back dash)

A Professional's Opinion
Written By Brian, Battle Creek, MI on Thursday, September 15, 2005

I used to install car audio for a living, and the first rule of car audio installation is to pick the right equipment for the right job. I purchased this amplifier to do what it was made to do, power full range speakers. When coupled to four Kicker 6 ½ inch speakers this amp produces excellent clean sound. Some may argue that 60 watts isn't much better than their aftermarket CD player. Consider the size and efficiency difference between your in dash amplifier and this piece of hardware, and it is easy to imagine how much cleaner and more powerful a signal you can get from a separate amp. Properly installed with a sufficiently robust power and ground wires this amp has never given me any overheat or protection problems even mounted at a 100 degree angle. Experience in the performance car audio/video world has taught me that protection and overheat issues are most often caused by installer error, not product malfunction. This product is Powerful, durable, and excellently suited for powering your full range speakers, and as always Crutchfield provides great customer service and fast delivery.
