Kenwood Excelon KAC-X542 4-channel car amplifier 
88 watts RMS x 4

Kenwood's Excelon amps not only provide plenty of power, they're loaded with features that allow you an amazing level of control.

Case in point, the KAC-X542 4-channel amplifier can deliver 88 watts each to two pairs of full-range speakers, or 270 watts each to a pair of subs. And this versatile amp controls that powerful output with a variety of tools. Start shaping your sound with the variable high- and low-pass filters, then use the bass level control to adjust the lows, while the treble level control lets you tailor high-frequency output.

A top-mounted LCD display presents real-time info on input voltage and current, amp temperature, protection status, and the cooling fan's speed. Kenwood's Amplifier Management System allows you to use your Excelon in-dash stereo to control bass and treble settings, bass extension, and volume level on up to eight Excelon amps.
