Kenwood

My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp?

You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.

Our take on the Kenwood Excelon XR600-1

by Buck Pomerantz

Super-slim profile, big-time power

Kenwood's Excelon XR600-1 mono subwoofer amplifier adds power and punch to your car's subwoofer system, as it powers your sub with up to 600 watts RMS. The XR600-1 can fit in many different places in your car because of its incredibly low profile — it's under 1-1/2" tall. Amazing.

Designed for optimum efficiency

Kenwood packed this amp with space-saving features. Class D technology reduces the size of the power supply, while the internal heatsink is tilted to reduce height without compromising the amp's cooling system. Recessed power and speaker wire terminals help to further reduce the amp's footprint, protect the connections, and give your installation a neat, professional look.

Controls for the best bass

This no-nonsense amplifier features a low-pass filter that sends the correct frequencies to your sub so it'll  play efficiently and sound its best. The amp also includes an adjustable bass boost that adds some low-end punch when you want it. And Kenwood protects this sharp-looking amp with its Excelon 2-year warranty.

    The little amp that could!

    Written By Kawizx9r, Monterey Bay, CA on Saturday, March 02, 2013
     
    I never submit reviews however that's changed now with my new Kenwood Excelon XR600-1. Just purchased it along with a 10" JL Audio W3 subwoofer and together they sound great!

    I was a bit skeptical at first considering I've only owned one Kenwood amp in the past but this little thing puts out power! It took some time dialing everything in but once that was done, I was able to do a proper comparison against my retired JL Audio 500/1 slash amp. The two on the same subwoofer sounded nearly identical with the same 'oomph' and authority you'd expect from the slash amp.
    Pros:
    Size Power
    Cons:
    Price? I only purchased one. No sub-sonic filter
