Kenwood KAC-9104D best amp/money?

[Xanthous 10+ year member]

You can pick this up for $159.99 on amazon.

Its rated at;

500@4

900@2 it's 1 ohm capable as well so I would assume it would put out..(doesn't have 1 ohm rating)

(1600@1)?

Would it put out atleast 1200@1? Would it be okay to run it at 1 ohm daily? Thanks.

No..I doubt it even does 1000 at 1ohm...AP1500d does 1500 at 1ohm for same price

I had that amp and it's only 2 ohm stable for about a minute then goes into protect.

My bad, somehow I googled ap1500 and came up with a planet audio 1500.

No I meant 2 ohms. When wired to 1 ohm it would go into protect after about 30 seconds. If you're really on a budget go with the Audiopipe cuz the Kenwood is not what u want.

That kenwood has 60A...it isnt always an indication, but in this case it is....good luck getting anymore then 6-700 out of it...AP is much better

Buy the 9105 bro, the new version has bigger outputs, a smaller chassis and it works GREAT for me.

I've got mine wired to two 400w kenwood subs @ 2 ohms and my knobs are only at 75% and my woofers won't get any louder.

Definitely produces 900@2 imo, and my **** NEVER cuts out, even after playing it for an hour+

Edit:

And the 9105 has 3x 30a fuses as opposed to 2x on the 9104

So you can tell by ear how much your amp is putting out ?

Right where they should be...

And why would he get that when he can get an AP1500d for nearly the same price?

He just went from a Power Acoustik to this, he know what 900 watts sounds like. And those Kenwood subs are DEFINITELY not overrated in their power handling.
