Very flexible, you can't go wrong
Written By Michael, Bronx, NY on Sunday, August 16, 2009

I can only speak of how this amp handles mids & highs, since I have a
separate dedicated amp for my subs. The sound is very crisp & clean. It's
powering 6.5-inch Kenwoods in the front and rear factory speakers of
my '02 VW Golf. It was a HUGE improvement over my last 4-channel amp
once I took the time to tweak the settings. I'm a perfectionist, so it took me
about a week to get it just right for my tastes. I'd keep the cover off for a
while as you'll find yourself making minor adjustments as you drive around.
I have the gain on the front channels slightly higher than the rears and
have both the front/rear channels on HPF at around 100 Hz.

Anyway, my only minor setback was slight engine noise. The only time I
heard it was when I paused my iPod or was using bluetooth, but it still
annoyed me. You always hear about the importance of a good, solid
ground. I originally had the amp grounded to a distribution block along with
my sub amp. Instead, I ran a slightly longer ground wire directly to the
grounding point. After that, all I heard was dead silence when I revved the
engine with the music paused and the windows up.

Aside from performance, I prefer amps like this one whose connection
terminals are all on one side so the install is cleaner. I have it mounted low
on the driver's side trunk wall. For the price and performance, I think
this amp is more than a fair value.

lots of solid, clean power.
Written By septone, seattle, wa on Tuesday, October 07, 2008

I have a Kenwood KAC-8404 powering all of my door and dash speakers, some polk audio 4x6 in the dash, 6x9 in the rear deck, and infiniti 51/4" in the front door. I can turn it up to the point where it actually begins to hurt the ears without any distortion.

The highs are crisp and clean. :)

I'm very happy with this amp.

Put your Kenwoods together
Written By Neal, Chicago on Thursday, June 12, 2008

I put this Kenwood KAC-8404 with a Kenwood SR700 (sirius built-in satelite receiver). Pair of Kenwood KFC 1682ie 3way speakers and pair of Kicker 6 1/2" Midbass/subwoofer 04SSMB6. All which fit in the doors of my Colorado. Sound is excellant, size is great and power is perfect for vehicle.

Excellent choice when you're on a budget
Written By Big Walt, Moreno Valley, CA on Wednesday, May 28, 2008

This amp sounds
AWESOME!!! I'm using
it to power a pair
of 5 x 7 Infinity
Reference Series
component speakers
and a pair of
Infinity 5 x 7 Kappa
Series 2 way
speakers with ZERO
distortion. Because
of budget issues(not
enough money LOL) I
have to wait to
install a sub, but
the mids thump hard
enough to keep me
content until then.
Originally I had an
Infinity 5 channel
amp, but it was just
too big, this amp is
perfect for the
amount of space that
I'm playing with.
You can't go wrong
with this amp.
