Well Kenwood is usually rated @ max watts so if thats the case you only have 500rms to work with. If thats the case id get 1 decent 12 & call it a day.


They rate @ rms, but they overrate.

Get a new amp then get new subs.

Depends on which line of Kenwood. If its saying 1000 but puts out 500rms you should walk away anyways..

hes talking about the 8105d model most likely. it says 1000 max on it but is only 2 ohm stable@500rms. but you can't blame kenwood for people not knowing the difference between max and rms watts.

True but anything that's worth buying is honest about its power and doesn't put shit on the boxes like as a marketing scheme.

are you sure the last 0 isn't actually a D? because that amp is like 400rms@2ohms and only 2 ohm stable.
