Kenwood and specialty line amps feature 24-dB per octave low- pass crossovers. This better crossover is more expensive to make, but the improved sound quality is worth it. All other standard line amps have 18 dB low-pass crossovers. High-pass crossovers are set at 12 dB per octave on all amps.

Signal Sensing—What a Turn-on!

Kenwood compact amps also include signal sensing turn-on. This feature is used when connecting to a radio that doesn’t have RCA outputs (can you say factory radio?). Simply wire the speaker leads from the radio to the input of the amplifier, and when the radio is turned on, the amp comes on. No need to look for a lead to turn the amp on.

In addition, all regular-line Kenwood amps have high-level input capabil- ity, so it’s easy to add an amp to any vehicle no matter what type of radio it has. By making it possible to use the speaker outputs from a factory radio to drive a power amp, Kenwood makes it easy to upgrade a factory system without rebuilding the dash.

Always check the factory system to see what kind of power output it has. The high-level inputs on Kenwood amps can take 35 watts into each channel, so they can be used with most factory stereo systems.

The cover plate on Kenwood 2008 amps completely covers the wire connections, making for a cleaner installation.
