Kenwood KAC-D5101 - Class D Mono Power Amplifier
D Series Amplifiers provide a powerful solution in a compact design, ideal for upgrading your car audio system.
Dual Sigma Drive
This advanced negative feedback circuit improves damping factor and increases accuracy and sound quality. When a signal is passed to a subwoofer, like a 50Hz note, the speaker will move and create the note. However, because the speaker has mass and a suspension, it won't stop moving once it's in motion. This extra movement (sound) creates a type of distortion that's not part of the original signal. The negative feedback circuit senses this unwanted movement and sends out an opposite pulse to stop the speaker like an electronic brake.
Small Size Big Power
The KAC-D5101 is small in size but with its tremendous sound output, it is extremely versatile. It can be installed in vehicles where space is limited and is perfect for vehicle owners who don't want to sacrifice cargo room or who prefer hidden installations.
CEA-2006 Compliant
CEA-2006 is a system of testing and measurement for mobile audio amplifiers. This voluntary standard advocates a uniform method for measuring an amplifier's RMS power output and signal-to-noise ratio. The criteria for measuring power uses a DC input voltage of 14.4 volts and the RMS power output is measured into a 4Ω load, with 1% or less Total Harmonic Distortion plus noise (THD+N), and over a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz (for full range amplifiers). Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4Ω. CEA-2006 standards allow consumers to compare car amplifiers and receivers under the same conditions (apples to apples). Using CEA-2006 criteria, the Kenwood KAC-9106D is rated at 500 watts RMS x 1 channel with a 76 dBA signal to noise ratio. The signal to noise ratio at the rated power output (not CEA-2006 conditions) is 100 dB.

If you have 4 gauge wire read this!The terminals for the positive and negative power supply have very short screws and a width of 0.5-0.55". This has made it nearly impossible to connect my 4 gauge wire as all standard 4 AWG terminal lugs are much bigger than this and there isn't enough space available for the 4 gauge wire to forgo using lugs.I have spent nearly 4 hours visiting Ace Hardware, Lowes, McMaster Carr, Grainger with no luck, nothing would fit.Finally I managed to find some suitable lugs from Digikey Electronics parts no. A28248CT-ND and WM19134-ND but I haven't received them yet. I also have so many tabs open right now that I almost couldn't finish this review after trying to find the part numbers. I hope my conquest to find a suitable 4 gauge lug serves you well.

When we got this amp we thought it's only one channel amp but soon realized we could hook 2 subs to it and 4 speakers to make our sound system complete. It sounds amazing and crystal clear! We were very pleased with our purchase!

I'm running 2 Rockford fosgate 10 inch subs. No issues what so ever. If you are running into issues with the amp cutting off/getting extremely too hot, Make sure to run 4 guage OFC COPPER power and ground wires. If you have to run 8 guage for your power wire that should be fine. But I wouldn't fool around with a ground smaller than 4 guage. Search for "4 Guage OFC Copper amp kit" as a good starting point. If it doesn't say Copper anywhere in the description it's not.

I’m trying to figure out why my amp won’t cut on I had it maybe 3 weeks and it cuts off when the speaker hits to hard and my settings are not turned up at all now it won’t cut on at all and none of my fuses are blown
