Questionable Amplifiers

Hi All,

I recently got myself a SoloBaric L7 15. I don't have much $ so I'm shopping around for a decent/cheap 750rms + amp.

I'm wondering what everyones take on the "Kenwood-KAC-PS917D" is.

 You can find it on ebay and through a few other resellers but no other info on it, no reviews on google, no reviews on youtube, can't seem to find it on the kenwood website. Is it actually made by kenwood or some bootleg knockoff?

Another one i was considering was the "fusion Pf-8001d" did anyone have any experience with this? Fusion has discontinued its car audio stuff but these still float around.

Thanks in advance.

Hi MattinMo,

Thanks so much for the response mate it's the kind i was looking for, it would seem the 8601 is the best value for money.

My concern was underpowering the Sub because the 8601 2ohm RMS is 500wat and the sub is 1000wat RMS. I've heard it can mess the sub up if its being fed less than 75% of the RMS of the sub?

Thanks Again!

Yes, if you are trying to pull more power than the amp is capable of you will be clipping. Idk what your budget is but for a 1000rms sub I’d be looking for at LEAST a 1500watt amp. Then you can push the sub without maxing our your amp.
