I was thinking about changing my amp to this Kenwood. The stats on this amp are located on this website, but I'm not going to pay that money for it from that site. http://www.cardomain.com/item/KENKAC9152D I was planning on having this amp to power a Type R. Is this amp extremely overated?? It got everything that I was looking for but I was just wondering how good these amps are. It says that it puts out 500 @ 4ohms and that's the type of Type R I was going to get (dual 2 ohm). THanks guys for your help!! |

Bronze Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 81 Registered: Sep-05 | thanks Isaac for your input, yeah i can get that amp for 200ish on ebay. Really wanted to stay away from Audiobahn.......ready TOO many bad complaints. So I'm thinking that I may go with this amp. I was also looking at the RF P5002 but that amp puts out about 623 watts @ 4 ohms (I said 683 in other thread - mistake) so I wasn't sure if I will be too powerful for the sub or not. I really don't want to end up buying a new sub after a while. So here is my basic question: THe Kenwood amp I have listed above that claims it puts out 500 @ 4ohms or the RF P5002 that puts out 623 @ 4ohms. I have had RF amps and I love them very much, which is why I reather the RF but not sure about the over power. I'm guessing tho that the Type R is probably underated too. BTW, I'll be getting the dual 2 ohm VC version. |
