Kenwood kac-301t
Strength:
I have this amp pushing 1 infinity kappa 12.1
Weakness:
None that I can think of. I have had this amp for a little over a year. People think I have two 12 in my trunk. The infinity kappa 12.1 gets the job done right paired up with this little beastie an amp. I have used lots of other quality brand amps such as alpine, jl, Sooundstream around the same range as this amp. This amp sounds just as good if not better. Pair it up with the right sub. You will not be dissapointed. I'm looking to find another one to power my other kappa 12.1 in my other car. Very happy with kenwood on this amp and the build quiality that was put in it.

Strength:
Cooling fan, does not dim headlights, never gets hot
Weakness:
amp power close to rca, but as long as you get good rca's there is no worries I am powering this amp with 2 infinity kappa 120.3 dvc's and this amp makes them thump like a mother! It never gets hot and I got a freaking steal on it from ebay, and the amp is practically brand new (the guy before used it for powering 2 5.25 speakers and it looks new). This amp is very clean and looks nice behind my seat. I would highly recommed this amp. |

Strength:
Runs cool, looks awsome with the sliding door and blue neon, never cuts off.
Weakness:
Scratches easily, fan kinda loud when my music is low(guess that doesnt matter since my music is only low when cops drive bye) I use this amp to run polk components that are in my front doors and it makes them scream. The power from this amp is nice and clean. It never runs hot(sweetass fan), and never cuts off. All around great amp. Similar Products Used: fosgate, pioneer, alpine, older kenwoods |

Strength:
the cooling fan is good and the little cleaning cloth that came with it comes in handy too.
Weakness:
my sliding door panel will not slide automatically or manually and i'm a little mad about that since i've had it for only 4 months. I'm trying to figure out the problem. This amp is pretty good. My speakers 2-12inch Cerwin-Vegas sound real good with this amp. I bought from my brother-in-law brand new still in the box. He paid $350 for it I think but then sold me the wiring kit and the amp for $350 which was a good deal considering that the amp and $70 wiring kit was never used. Similar Products Used: none. it was my first one |

Strength:
Built in fan, high quality amp, good warranty, looks nice I bought this amp at a great price to power my 12" Solobaric. I have it running at 2 ohms down one channel hitting probably 800 watts. I''m afraid to turn it up more than half way because i my hearing will leave me if i do. Similar Products Used: Rockford Fosgate Punch, Sony Xplod, Pheonix gold(My fav,but too much $$$) |

Strength:
I have been able to run the amp 2ch, and finally get the mid bass that my Diamond Audio components allow
Weakness:
depending on where you buy the amp, the suggested retail is way too much for a 75X2 amp. I have always loved kenwood products and finally decided to build and entire kenwood system. So far, I have had awesome sound quality, looks, and worry free. As you may know with kenwood, they have a great warrenty, as do many other companies, athough kenwood products help prevent damage such as built in fans ect. Similar Products Used: phoenix gold has a 75X2 amp, but it doesn't have the built in fan and look as nice |

Strength:
Slick design. Clean, undistorted power. Built in cooling fan
Weakness:
MSRP is a little pricey, especially for its power output I have been looking for a good eXcelon amp to take advantage of my eXcelon reciever. I eventually found this thing on ebay for an incredible price. I must say, this is an incredible amp. It never gets hot because the cooling fan automatically turns on whenever it senses too much heat. With a compatible eXcelon reciever, you can also control the amp bass boost straight from the deck +6, +12db at the user-defined bass boost setting on the amp. It's a great feature, plus the fan cooling fan can be controlled from an excelon deck as well. Similar Products Used: none |

Kenwood KAC - 301t
Strength:
I have it powering 2 JL 12W4's and all they do is slam. It never shuts down from heat because cooling fan automatically turns on when the power slide opens which opens automatically also.
Weakness:
So far I have only good things to say about this amp. I paid $399 for it and i got it from Crutchfield. I didn't plan on paying that much for and amp for my subs, but so far it is well worth the price. It runs great with my subs and sounds unbelievable with my Infinity speakers which are powered by a Phoenix Gold Zx475ti. I Couldn't ask for much more!! Similar Products Used: None |
