KENWOOD KAC-8152D CLASS D (Questions)

[gotgohan 10+ year member]

I was wondering... will this AMP conflict with my kenwood W3003's the AMP is of course 1100 watt, and the subs are 600 watts each. I dunno anything thats going to happen with this combo. I am a superb nub at this, I can return the amp back if It isn't a good buy.

1100 is max, yu need to look for rms, in this case is 550 x 1 @ 2ohm. and 300 x 1 @ 4 ohm. i dont think it is 1 ohm stable...so youll probably be starving your 600rms subs if anything.

youll probably need to find a 600x2 amp or 1200x1

I beleive it said it was 1 ohm stable.

youre looking for rms, not peak...NEVER PEAK

you have the stats right there..and obviously it says not stable at 1 ohm

 

[gotgohan 10+ year member]

Well what does this ohm stuff mean.. it says 550watts at 2 ohms.. does that mean its 1 ohm per ohm or something? does that mean its splits up if ih ave two amps lol

well just tell me, will it be a huge boost going from my 124 watt crappy amp to tis kenwood?

 

[gotgohan 10+ year member]

On the other hand, how bad is the push going to be with the combo of the 1100 watt 550watt x 2 ohm amp with my 600 watt kenwood subs

 

[soul05 10+ year member]

so you have 2 subs each at dual 4 ohm correct? you can either wire them to 4 ohm or 1 ohm. but since that kenwood amp is not 1 ohm stable, then that option is out. therefore you can only run at 4 ohm.

if u get that kenwood amp...you will be pushing 300 x 1 at 4 ohm. divided into 2 subwoofers, youll get 150 rms a piece. as i said before..youll be starving those 600 watt rms subs.
