[QUOTE="defiance, post: 298106, member: 549442"] Someone mentioned better dollar/watt performance out there than kenwood, but I'm not so sure - Kenwood's pretty competitive on the value line. Their amps are never overrated at all, but they're not underrated either - what you see is what you get (as long as you ignore those stupid "MAX" numbers printed on the amp - I'm just talking RMS numbers). And the 8101d he's pointing out does 500w into 1 ohm, class D - and you can get it for under $150 new in box on ebay; $180 from a dealer online, $200 local. So, you're looking at $0.30/watt on ebay, $0.40/watt local. That's pretty well up there on the value scale. I agree that there are better amps, and I agree that there are cheaper amps, but I don't agree that there are better values out there in that wattage range. At least, not many. [/QUOTE]
