  1. BigC

    son wanted louder music
    this amplifier is doing it great so far

  2. Ronbo62

    They were courteous and professional. Work done as promised and completed early.

  3. Mspardone

    Bought this item on Best buys open box rack and thought I was getting a good deal come to find out the same day I looked and it was $20 cheaper online even $20 cheaper at retail stores the product was obviously returned because mounting hardware was missing and one of the knobs for volume was broken. I Ended up having to go to Nashville on business and by the time I returned I just didn’t want to deal with it

  4. Sunni

    I used to purchase pioneer products, but Kenwood stands behind there products, and after paying a thousand dollars for pioneer amp that crashed after 2 years and 2 days Pioneer would not even TRY to help me. I have now had Kenwood products for 5 years with NO problems at all!

  5. Nacho

    Installed easily under my glove box in my 2016 JKU. Plenty of power when using the pac aoem‑chr3 adapter to the Mopar 430N head unit. RMS rating speaker is 55.

  6. 619Robert

    Works perfectly, as hoped. Installed in a 2021 Hyundai SEL to amplify a weak factory radio. Gave the extra boost needed to enjoy music and podcasts with the windows open. Best Buy installed and it fit inside the dash behind the starter button.

  7. Timray4201

    Really like the amplifier works great for my little Toyota Tacoma in the sales people at the store we’re really awesome and knew what they were talking about and were very helpful

  8. Dom1

    Good quality amplifier for the price and it works really great with my speakers

  9. Rip1

    This product helped pump up the sound in my Impreza. More than enough power! Sounds great. Would recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade their sound system! Thanks a bunch!

  10. William

    This amp is ok. Really only recommend if you have a sub. At high volumes with no filters on the bass sounds very distorted so I used my subs for all my bass and the doors only have high levels

  11. Greg

    Purchased to use in my boat, good clean affordable power.

  12. Thomas

    Great buy! Easy set up, sounds great, has a lot of power!

  13. Chris

    This little amp packs a punch. It was extremely easy to install and now my music sounds better than ever!! I highly recommend this amp!!

  14. Megs82

    Love this! The set up in my golf cart rocks with this!

  15. Junk

    I had this product and it stopped working after three weeks of use. Not worth the money. This is the second one that I purchased and both are junk. Not worth the money.

  16. Derf74

    Sounds good and doesnt get too hot. Small enough to hide, but pushes my door speakers pretty good.

  17. Cactusfambam

    I just recently installed a new kenwood deck and I have two of these Kenwood kac-m1014’s in my pontoon, one amp is running four kenwood 6 1/2 marine speakers and the other amp I bridged pushing two kenwood 6 1/2 speakers on one channel and the other channel is pushing a 10” subwoofer. The sound is absolutely amazing!!!!

  18. KickinwithKicker

    compact power amp for those with little space to spare – needed to fit in a cubby under a seat – would be unobtrusive elsewhere too

  19. KingKongEk9

    Very very happy with my purchase, easy to use, very compact, sounds great for its size.. I wanted something nice and simple that worked but was not looking to break the bank and was limited on space, this little amp was more than perfect for me, only downside is that it gets really hot and that was just during testing, I mounted it in an easy access place and it’s not enclosed.

  20. CheapGuy

    So far so good with this amp. It has a nice small footprint so it fit nicely in the cabin of my boat so it can’t get wet. Has nice output for the mid level Kenwood marine speakers I’ve paired it with and the set up was ok given the price. The main issue is this amp puts out a lot of heat given the low output so be careful where you mount it and it also doesn’t have the newer bells and whistles a lot of higher price amp have to set things like gain, but that’s obviously to be expected. Overall a good deal.

  21. Jack

    Tiny. Exactly what I needed. Fits under seat of tundra, replaces little factory amp

  22. TyrelD

    Bridgable amp unable to bridge properly. Had to settle for wattage per channel. Currently looking for another amp.

  23. Texas

    This small amp help my speakers a lot as far as getting the sound I was looking for. Just a little umph for my impala

  24. Music05

    It works great on my vehicle. It’s just what I needed.

  25. Thadman

    Small high quality lil amp. Perfet for running door speakers or adding some 6×9. Amazing performance in small package that is easy to install under an away from sight

  26. Jeremy84

    I’m still in the process of putting my system together but I bought this 4 channel amp to power my 2 JBL 6×8 door speaker as well as my 2 JBL 6×9. I didn’t buy this to power a sub but a lot of what I got out of it you can.

  27. Nighthawk

    We installed this kenwood amp in our 1990 Corvette and it sounds Awesome. Very happy with the sound . Excited to take it for a spin this weekend!!

  28. Awesome

    Great little powerful amp for your highs and it doesn’t take up any space really!

  29. Britt

    If u need a amp this one is the way to go awesome. Would buy again

  30. Pleasantviewing

    Excellence for speaker amp. Really filled out the sound system in the jeep

  31. Kenwood

    Was an open box promised all the parts were there was missing some stupid stuff that I had in stock no biggie

  32. FamilyRoom

    Haven’t installed it as yet. Hopefully everything goes well. Keeping my fingers crossed

  33. LenovoYOG

    sound quality is great. I notice a considerable improvement in overall range. Also very easy to adjust settings not to mention its compact size

  34. Joeyy

    Excellent sound for such a small device, definitely recommend!

  35. Excursion

    This product exceeded my expectation! Great sound, and having a knob to control the bass is awesome!

  36. TrevenBacon

    Easy install, small footprint and clip-free operation so far. Does exactly what it’s supposed to, imo. I matched it with 4 kicker dsc680’s and it jams pretty good in my f350 cc.

  37. GoBestBuy

    Excellent Amplifier for what I need, I have a small vehicle with decent speakers. I wanted to clean my sound up with some amplification. The Kenwood Amp answered my question.

  38. Jim71

    A lot of power in this little amp especially when paired with an aftermarket head unit.

  39. Mstanley

    The Amp really makes the new stereo sound great Best Buy installer Jon did a great job

  40. TrueMetalGeek

    I’ve been using this compact amp in my Can Am for about a year. Still works.
    I actually have two of them. One powers the large marine full range speakers and the other powers a 8″ dual voicecoil subwoofer and seems to be just enough.
    Moth amps have the 4 channels bridged into 2 channels.

    Of course in the Can Am (or any side by side vehicle) you have limited charging power and the Class D efficiency helps. Haven’t had any charging issues with my stock Can Am charging system.

  41. Nintendoswitch

    Kenwood max amplifier is good for extra sound and bass

  42. MsRow

    The item was purchased as a Father’s Day gift for my husband and he loves it.

  43. Spurs1995

    Makes my car bump super loud 2006 gmc canyon with jbl speakers really kicks!!

  44. MaryD

    It’s great love the sound of my radio now! Thanks for great service!

  45. BetsyO

    amp work great and has plenty of power for a small unit. I bought this because of the low fuse rating and didn’t have to run new power and fuse off the battery

  46. Unknown

    This Kenwood amplifiers are perfect for pushing my 6.5 kicker speakers.

  47. Jonathan

    The power in this amplifier is not that good and for the price you can get a better one.

  48. ClayS

    Best amp that I have ever had for my door speakers, I was amazed on the power I was able to get from it made my system sound so much better and clear

  49. Dissatisfied1

    Only 2 channels works. Wanted a 4 channel amp not two.

  50. Notyettoday

    These amps are great. I originally had 1 to power my 4 6x9s in my Jeep Compass, but I decided I wanted more, so I bridged the first one, and bought another, so each 6×9 is getting 90W RMS. It’s crazy good.
