Ok what do you think of kenwood amplifiers?

Question

ok so what do you guys think of the kenwood excelon mono amps is the power they produce nice and clean or what?

Answer 1

I have owned 3 different Kenwood mono amps. Two were the 2007 model Kenwood 500 rms monoblocks, I thought they were decent and picked them up for $110 a piece. I then bought a Kenwood eXcelon KAC-X1R amp in april to power my Rockford Punch P3 12s. I ran it at 1 ohm (its rated at 1200 rms at @ ohms, so by Ohm's Law its supposed to produce more than its 1200 rms @ 2 ohms). I felt that it was really putting out maybe 700 rms...I had liked Kenwood amps before then because they were cheap, clean, and had decent power. But now I am done with Kenwood forever with everything but headunits. I now have enough money to buy the Rockford amps I wanted, and am more than satisfied. Rockford also never overrates their amps because they all come with birthsheets displaying the exact rms @ 14.4 volts.

Answer 2

i have two of the kac-x1r amps hooked to a kenwood excelon head unit powering 4 kicker solo l7 12's and they sound amazing
