Kenwood Amp with Sony Stereo?

[DrLouisFlellis]

I will be installing a new Sony MEX-BT38UW stereo soon, and am in the market for an amp. Today I saw a Kenwood KAC-6202 for sale at my local thrift store for only $25. Will these two work ok together? Any compatibility issues? I am very much a novice at this, so any help is appreciated.

if that sony has a rem wire and rca sub out they will work fine together, but dont expect a lot out of either.

Dude, they all have to be made by the same company or they wont work together. The amp could catch on fire if used with that headunit due to the voltage of the headunit being too high for the amp to handle.

Lol, mine came out the year BEFORE they started using the Bose system stock. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Sound was good enough till recently when my amp started randomly cutting out the rear speakers for days on end, then would start working at random again for days at a time again. Enough is enough! Time to Upgrade! That Kenwood Amp seemed like a good buy for that price since it looks new.
