The Kenwood KAC-M5001 is a mono Class D subwoofer amplifier rated 300 watts RMS at 2 ohms (200 watts at 4 ohms).
It's sealed to IP66/IP67 in a cast aluminum chassis that passed salt-spray testing, so it suits boats, bikes and UTVs as well as cars. Speaker-level inputs with signal-sensing turn-on let it work with a factory stereo. A wired bass level remote is included.

Questions
Will it work with my factory stereo?
Yes. It has speaker-level inputs and turns on automatically when it senses a signal, so it can run from a factory radio.
What wiring kit do I need?
That depends on the amp's current draw (14A) and where it goes in the vehicle. We'll match the right gauge power kit and fuse when you book the install.
Do you install amplifiers?
Yes, at our Markham shop. We run the power wire to the battery with a fuse, set the gains and crossovers, and test the system before you leave.
