5.0 out of 5 stars Good. Clean. FUN! April 6, 2010

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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality amp October 5, 2010
By M2G

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.

Awesome amp I really didn't know about kenwood products until I bought this amp. I have it powering 2 alpine type r 12's but it shuts off cause is pulling more power to the other sub the amp and 1 sub do 500w rms @ 2 ohms which is good but I'm adding another kenwood amp for the other so the 2 subs and amps won't cut in and out when I turn up the volume. The amp does heat up when I'm bumping for a while but never shut off due to overheating like a cheap amps I had before I bought this one. Class D amps are better to go with and this one Isn't expensive buy this amp!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Gift December 31, 2010
By KP

This amplifier is amazing. Reviews said it was the newer version and it doesn't get hot and this is true. If you are on a budget this amp is amazing for the price and the name brand KENWOOD is excellent quality. I purchased the DUAL 1000 watt 12inch subwoofer to go with this and together they are amazing.

I have this low wattage,(but good sounding) amplifier hooked up to two 12" KFC-W3012 Kenwood Subs with a DB-Link 4 gauge wiring kit, and a Kenwood MP342U receiver and I must say, for the price and the wattage, it sounds very nice. The bass hits hard and deep, and the controls really do come in handy. Considering the fact I'm running two subs instead of one, I do get a moderate dim in my lights (which was, and is expected in certain cars) and due to power pulls at certain high volume levels, it shuts down temporarily (which is a safety feature and good to protect the amp and other power components) but other than that, it pushes my subs for what it is. Me being impatient, got this amp and my subs hooked up before I properly took care of my power components...a capacitor, an extra battery, an high output alternator,...etc, but it still bumps. I plan on getting another one of these amps so I can run each amp seperatly to each sub seperatly, which will take the strain off just running one amp to two subs. I will upgrade as I go as stated above, just had to start off with some good bass and this is a very good amp for that. Can't go wrong with Kenwood anyways. This is a good amp for the price, just upgrade your power components nicely and set the amp's filter and output controls properly and you'll be booming. GOOD JOB AGAIN KENWOOD!!!!
