Kenwood amp
The sound is fantastic the best thing is the size it fit behind the head unit in the dash. Easy to install would recommend.

Great Amp
This amp is the perfect size to install on a Harley touring motorcycle, it fits nicely in the fairing. Install was very easy and straightforward. My head unit is a SoundStream Reserve HDHU 14+, Kenwood speakers. The amp does not draw a lot of power so I tapped the power and ground leading to the stereo. I will run cables to the battery later. I bridged the amp to two channels since I only have two front speakers on by Harley. Amp provides great power and sound.

Nice fit for 2 speakers
Great Amplifier. Just got it installed and what a difference but will review after a few months to see how warm it will get after being pushed a bit. **UPDATE** 4/26/21. Amp was installed but my exhaust was way too loud. Added additional amp to the rear 6x9 speakers and left this amp for the 2 front 6x5. Power is seriously good and being that there is only 2 speakers per amp you don't have to turn the gain almost full power. Even with that issue heat on the amp didn't really overheat. It got warm don't get me wrong but no overheating issues. Would highly recommend this amp for 2 speakers only. With 4 speakers it's not enough power in my opinion. **Update** Installed baffles on exhaust and had a good friend who was more knowledgeable retune the system and what a difference. Turned out gain was all the way down (go figure). After system was retuned it is more then enough power to hear. It cranks while going at just about any speed. The rear speakers are more for slower in town speeds since your front handle the the sound better at higher speeds. Excellent amp and must have excellent speakers as well.

Big sound, small size!
I've had 200+ watt Pioneers installed for about a year with a Kenwood head unit, sometimes when playing content from my phone I really had to crank the volume up to hear it well enough. Now with this amp connected, I barely need to go above 25% and it has fantastic audio quality. I've added the Kenwood compact sub to my setup so the Pioneers handle the mids and highs (and some low Hz), the compact sub handles the lows - all setup using the crossover in the head unit. You really have to tune your setup if you expect this to sound good - go through your head unit settings, set the speaker size, distance, etc... Don't leave everything to default. I set the line sensitivity at about .3 (which is about 65-75% turning of the dial). HPF off so I can change settings on the fly at the head unit. Oh and the size - this thing is so compact, I was able to tuck it under the dash behind the 'ol glovebox. Everything you need is included, RCA cables, wiring harness, even some zip ties. Like I said, when you tune it against the settings in your head unit, the audio quality is fantastic.

Great little amp at a great price
Installed this little amp in the center console of my boat to power 4 6 1/2" Clarion speakers. The included harnesses and RCA cables made install a breeze. I will say the power and ground wires are kind of small, but not issues with them so far. Setting up the amp was easy and straight forward as well. Overall sound quality is good at all volumes. Have not had any issues in the 6 months that I have had it.

Garbage
It came unusable and broken. I took me forever to realize it because there is no light or indicator to tell you it’s on/working or not. Rewired and wasted so much money because I got sent I useless product. I don’t recommend save you the time and headache and buy a different amp like I wish I did.

Small but Powefull
Simple install and set up. It’s got a good punch for a compact AMP. It went in an old car with very little available room for an amp of any size.

Porsche Upgrade
Great quality amp that is a perfect upgrade for a Porsche Boxster 987 or 911 997 to replace the ASK amplifier if you have the SPP (Sound Package Plus). Buy this amp and a pair of RCA to wire cables and listen to a very cheap quality upgrade

Kenwood KAC-M1814-ottima qualità
Qualità eccezionale, riscalda un po troppo, quindi consiglio di non installarlo in posto troppo chiuso

Buena potencia y sonido.
Muy bien sonido y una potencia aceptable. El amplificador tiene un tamaño pequeño adaptable a cualquier sitio. Lo único que destacaría en su contra es que los cables de conexión se quedan cortos. En mi caso me los tuvieron que sustituir por otros más largos, pero en general estoy satisfecho. Buen sonido Kenwood y calidad.
