CleanSierra Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 It's rated at 900 Watts at 2 ohms. It also doesn't have an ACTUAL power rating or distortion rating at 1 ohm. The reason that I have my input is because I know people with experience with the amp. I didn't have to pull a specs sheet to find the numbers you posted. This forum is here for information and we try to STOP the spread of misinformation when we see it. Yours was bad twice in the same post and could have led to the guy hooking his shit up at 1 ohm, and damaging it because he TRUSTED your advice and didn't look at his own manual, which btw is misleading for a noob. So model number or not, it's not advised to run any of these Kenwood amps at less than 2 ohms. The info on the open hole can't be overlooked either. I didn't mean to call you out. I was not trying to be offensive. I just wanted to stop any bad info from continuing. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
Krakin Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Also the manual for that amp says its capable of running 1 ohm. See page six: http://manual.kenwood.com/files/B64-3509-00.pdf see my post...

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
i471 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 I did connect it at 1 ohm and it made such a horrid sound i thought the sub blew. What gauge wire should I be running for this amp?
soundstream15 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 1/0awg into a distroblock or battery and 4awg into amp. The 1/0awg in case you wanna upgrade. Your kenwood will not work at 1ohm. Kenwoods run hot as is.
Krakin Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I did connect it at 1 ohm and it made such a horrid sound i thought the sub blew. What gauge wire should I be running for this amp? Pull your fuses I can guaranty you blew at least one of them. A big give away for why the amp isn't 1-Ohm stable, other than the components not being able to withstand it, is that it only has 3x30amp fuses in it. And the amp only accepts up to 4-gauge wire in the power/ground terminals. I haven't measured the speaker terminals but it doesn't really matter too much because I doubt you will get speaker wire too big for it. But as a guesstimate I would say 12-gauge. I would also check your coils on your sub to make sure they are still working after what you put them through.

CleanSierra Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 4 gauge should be fine for the power, you'll never get 1/0 to fit without a reducer Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
CleanSierra Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I only see 2 30 amp fuses in the owners manual. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
Krakin Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I only see 2 30 amp fuses in the owners manual. Wait lemme see if mine is the same sub model Mine may be a 9105d Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

soundstream15 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I don't think I seen a kenwood with 3 30amp fuses
CleanSierra Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 So realistically is a 600 Watt amp then, not really 900 I would assume. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
