Summary:
I bought this amp to power 2 MTX Thunder6000 12" and it really hits...I am a basshead through and through and this amp sure suffices my needs. Kenwood really knows what's up!

Strengths:
EVERYTHING...12dB Bassboost, Easy set-up, easy everything....great amp especially for the price!

Weaknesses:
Nothing that I have found.....yet!

Summary:
I don''t know much about this amp but it doesn''t fill my needs for bass. I have it wired to a single 10 Sony. I gives good fill...that''s about it. I scraped my whole system to get a class D high current amp and decent subs.

Strengths:
good to drive cheap subs in the right enclosure. Infrasonic filter.

Weaknesses:
Not enough power

KAC 718, kinda sucks

Price Paid:  $135.00

Summary:
This is a great amp for someone who wants decent sub amplification without breaking the bank. I'm using it to power a single Pioneer 12" DVC (2ohms) in my trunk. My review, therefore, is based on a 2ohm speaker load with the amp running at 230Wrms. I'm not a basshead, but I wanted to add the extra element to my music that only a subwoofer can provide. The budget amp/sub combo that I picked out does the trick for me. Highly recommended at this price point.

Strengths:
Simple setup, stable @ 2 ohm load, subsonic filter, speaker level and RCA capable, wide sensitivity range for preamp ins, inexpensive.

Weaknesses:
Sigma servo connection is annoying (feedback loop requires a second connection to speakers), probably not the best/most efficient amp in it's power range, may not be powerful enough with 4 ohm load.

Summary:
As stated above, I am very happy with this amp. The only problem is this is last years model. However, after using this Kenwood amp, I wouldn't hesitate to buy its new replacemeent model. It's geat, and has a great price too.

Strengths:
Eccellent sounding mono sub amp. I am using it to drive a MTX 10" Thunder6000 and this amp puts out more quality volume than I can handle. This amp

Weaknesses:
I found no weaknesses. It's was to set up, has 0db, 6db, and 12 db boost.
Sound is greath, and this amp runs pretty cool.
