skaraudio Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Not sure if its cost effective to fix that amplifier or not but you could also check out DB-R for a repair quote if money is tight.

r0llinlacs Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Kenwood amps are junk. Same with their speakers. It's a shame, because they make such nice head units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siucsaluki11 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Actually had the same amp like 3 or 4 years ago. It always would hit alot quieter after heavy bass notes and then go back to playing normally. Apparently it's not all too uncommon. I've had it installed for 3 years now, its just now starting to do this, used to take the abuse all day long. Im probably going with an AQ, which I've been wanting to do for a while, just need to save up some cash and keep the volume down for now while the shifty kenwood is on its last leg. I didn't expect it to last this long even. Quote woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

I didn't expect it to last this long even. Hmm, well mine started after about 3 months, but it held up for another year, sold it to a friend and as far as I know it's still going strong. Not the greatest thing ever, but a fairly budget friendly amp that the average person can link to a namebrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathcards Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) ohm's law volts x amps / ohms wow i thought some people would have typed it correctly don't forget box rise so your 2 ohms is actually higher but it is very difficult to calculate in a small time frame Kenwood is not junk i have a kenwood in my mom's car that takes abuse and has still worked for two years even being clipped to high hell ok maybe the 5 way 6x9 in my grand am i had was junk for a speaker but not all speakers are junk from them if you can i would try taking it apart and clean the dust out like someone mentioned until you get another amp Edited March 12, 2012 by deathcards Quote skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew018018 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 i would go with a hifonics brutus, the BRZ1700 seems to suit your needs.. i had a kenwood 8104D for about a year in my car, i was happy with it for the price and after plenty of abuse it still works, it used to heat up and go into protect every once in a while but only after beating on it for a while with the gain prob up to much Quote My System (in VW golf/Rabbit mk2) (1) Hifonics Brutus 2010D @ 1ohm (1) Hifonics Zeus 440 Mids'nhighs (3) JBL W10Gti subs (2) JBL GTO838 (2) JBL GTO936 (1) run of 3/0 Gauge ofc (1) Ac Delco120ah 850cca battery (front) (1) Ac Delco 45ah 330cca battery (rear) (1)Sony Gt630ui hu 34hz tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
