Pros & Cons

  • great overall power, and powerful, very reasonable price, lots of power, great power
  • casing over connections, documentation is very vague, quality and installation process

The KAC-9104D Class D Mono Power amplifier cranks out mega doses of power in a much smaller chassis size (30% smaller than previous models), so it’s more adaptable to tight spaces like under seats or in trunks. The KAC-9104D also has a Dual Mono Drive connection that allows you to strap two KAC-9104D amps together to power a single subwoofer—that’s 1800 Watts of power!

  • 1800 Watts Maximum Output Power with 30% Smaller Chassis Size
  • 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (900 w…

    I purchased this amp right before it was discontinued; and I'm glad that I caught it. I bought it to power two Kicker Comp VR 07CVR102 2-ohm dual voice coil subs, and to help spare my electrical system, I bought a Tsunami Lite Wave 1.2 farad Capacitor. I haven't even adjusted the amp, and I have the bass on my my Sony cd reciever on 0 and all I can say is that This amp is doing it's job! It has my subs rattling my trunk and my rear view mirror bouncing. I don't see... Read more

    Have 2 of these hooked up to 2 12" premiers 3000 watt subs. Powers them very nicely wired to 1 ohm. I used to have 2000 watt 2 channel but these beat it by far. They are not a good as other brands of the same watts, but for half the price or more it is alot better deal. Read more
