Kenwood KAC-D5101 1000 W Max 1-CH Monoblock Class D Stereo Car Audio Amplifier

This is a small amp easy to place anywhere; but alot of power.

First one i got didn't work order a new one sending this one back . Hooked up new one and works perfectly! Sounds great and bass is solid. Pushing 2 12 in kenwood 2000 watt subs .

This amp is great for the low price , it powers my dual 12” 1000watt JBL subwoofers and does a fantastic job :)

I'm running 2 Rockford fosgate 10 inch subs. No issues what so ever. If you are running into issues with the amp cutting off/getting extremely too hot, Make sure to run 4 guage OFC COPPER power and ground wires. If you have to run 8 guage for your power wire that should be fine. But I wouldn't fool around with a ground smaller than 4 guage. Search for "4 Guage OFC Copper amp kit" as a good starting point. If it doesn't say Copper anywhere in the description it's not.

If you have 4 gauge wire read this! The terminals for the positive and negative power supply have very short screws and a width of 0.5-0.55". This has made it nearly impossible to connect my 4 gauge wire as all standard 4 AWG terminal lugs are much bigger than this and there isn't enough space available for the 4 gauge wire to forgo using lugs. I have spent nearly 4 hours visiting Ace Hardware, Lowes, McMaster Carr, Grainger with no luck, nothing would fit.Finally I managed to find some suitable lugs from Digikey Electronics parts no. A28248CT-ND and WM19134-ND but I haven't received them yet. I also have so many tabs open right now that I almost couldn't finish this review after trying to find the part numbers. I hope my conquest to find a suitable 4 gauge lug serves you well.
