This amp is the revised version of the 8104D. If you read those reviews, you will see mixed reviews... on the good.. they praise the power and sound quality... on the bad they complain about overheating issues. I just installed this amp today... cant tell you extensive reasearch type info but I have a JL 500/1 to compare to. This amp says 500 watts just like my JL but for the stereo noobs out there... these are NOT in the same class... JL is higher end audiophile quality while this kenwood was made for budget-minded people who still want quality. This amp pushed my JL 12w6v2 just fine but I had a hard time getting the gain just right... I was getting distortion at higher volumes but it may have been due to my MP3 player being up too high. This amp did not make my car lights dim like the JL does and I dont have a capacitor either.
I rode around for about 4 hours bumping the system with the JL sub in for about 2 hrs and it never cut out or seemed to overheat at all. The amp is fairly simple to set up... took me 2 hrs from start to finish and I had to run all the wiring in my GFs car.
Overall great quality and for the price... I dont know if there are others that can compare... Highly recommended for someone on a budget(like most of us these days) who still wants to get a little more out of their system without breaking the bank.

I have dealt with several amps and i gotta say that this is one of the better ones. If you are not planning on upgrading your alternator, this amp will have plenty of power, with 500 RMS at 2 ohm stable this is great. It will not damage you power system and will not kill your battery. I have it powering two Infinity 10" 250 RMS dual 2 ohm subs and it shakes the car like crazy. I actually have to turn the amp to about 50-60% volume in order to be comfortable.

I have two 10" Kicker C10's and this is more than enough power. My system is louder than two of my friends who have two 12's. Also it never gets hot.
