Kenwood amp
The sound is fantastic the best thing is the size it fit behind the head unit in the dash. Easy to install would recommend.

Nice compact amp
2nd one I've owned. Worked good in my Ram and now in my Jeep. I like that it's 4 channel and has built in filters for front and rear. Nothing too fancy but does what I need.

Small but Powefull
Simple install and set up. It’s got a good punch for a compact AMP. It went in an old car with very little available room for an amp of any size.

Good value in a compact pkg
Installed 03/21 - so far so good, though it does get hot rather quickly. Has not affected functionality as of yet. If future issue comes up I’ll update. Running with Kenwood deck as well, power is sufficient for good clean highs and mids, with mid-strong bass you can feel more than hear. For the money, so far so good. Update 04/25 - working well though has yet to see heavy use or extreme heat. Drives four Cerwin Vega 6.5” 45w RMS w/tweeters fairly well, surprisingly clean though would not expect this to drive high power components.

Big sound, small size!
I've had 200+ watt Pioneers installed for about a year with a Kenwood head unit, sometimes when playing content from my phone I really had to crank the volume up to hear it well enough. Now with this amp connected, I barely need to go above 25% and it has fantastic audio quality. I've added the Kenwood compact sub to my setup so the Pioneers handle the mids and highs (and some low Hz), the compact sub handles the lows - all setup using the crossover in the head unit. You really have to tune your setup if you expect this to sound good - go through your head unit settings, set the speaker size, distance, etc... Don't leave everything to default. I set the line sensitivity at about .3 (which is about 65-75% turning of the dial). HPF off so I can change settings on the fly at the head unit. Oh and the size - this thing is so compact, I was able to tuck it under the dash behind the 'ol glovebox. Everything you need is included, RCA cables, wiring harness, even some zip ties. Like I said, when you tune it against the settings in your head unit, the audio quality is fantastic.

Garbage
It came unusable and broken. I took me forever to realize it because there is no light or indicator to tell you it’s on/working or not. Rewired and wasted so much money because I got sent I useless product. I don’t recommend save you the time and headache and buy a different amp like I wish I did.

Great little amp at a great price
Installed this little amp in the center console of my boat to power 4 6 1/2" Clarion speakers. The included harnesses and RCA cables made install a breeze. I will say the power and ground wires are kind of small, but not issues with them so far. Setting up the amp was easy and straight forward as well. Overall sound quality is good at all volumes. Have not had any issues in the 6 months that I have had it.

Porsche Upgrade
Great quality amp that is a perfect upgrade for a Porsche Boxster 987 or 911 997 to replace the ASK amplifier if you have the SPP (Sound Package Plus). Buy this amp and a pair of RCA to wire cables and listen to a very cheap quality upgrade

Kenwood KAC-M1814-ottima qualità
Qualità eccezionale, riscalda un po troppo, quindi consiglio di non installarlo in posto troppo chiuso

Buena potencia y sonido.
Muy bien sonido y una potencia aceptable. El amplificador tiene un tamaño pequeño adaptable a cualquier sitio. Lo único que destacaría en su contra es que los cables de conexión se quedan cortos. En mi caso me los tuvieron que sustituir por otros más largos, pero en general estoy satisfecho. Buen sonido Kenwood y calidad.
