I mounted this amp inside a cooler with a lawnmower battery as the power. 4 kicker 8 inch marine speakers mounted on the outside of the cooler. This little amp gets really loud. And after accidentally leaving the cooler open on the boat overnight and getting filled with water the amp still works.
If wiring this without a head unit, what wire goes to the ignition ACC post? Pwr Cont (blue) or Yellow?? Thanks This is going in a 1966 ford Thunderbird
I have the same setup however on the controller wire plug that plugs into the amp i have 4 wires that pulled out. Is there anyway you could tell me which colors go where or possible for me to get pictures? I cant find pictures or information anywhe
I have a Kenwood KAC-M1814. The accompanying shot to "speaker level input" at 1:43 is a bit misleading. You're showing the amp's output wires. You splice the speaker cables into the RCA cables to get speaker-level input.
Could you please advise on the procedure to reset all previously connected phones on this device? The device's Bluetooth memory is limited to three phones, and it is currently unable to pair with my new phone. I would like to completely reset the device to enable the pairing of three new phones. Additionally, my new phone is currently unable to establish a Bluetooth connection with the device.
Hi, if i was to mount this in my old classic 69 car under dash can you please tell me if the following is right? 12V from ignition source to unit, grd wire from unit to ground on car. I have "2" 6x9's in rear, both those wires go into unit. I then connect bluetooth to it, and play my songs. I'm not missing anything am I? That's all i want, I have an old AM radio that I no longer need nor want. THANK YOU V MUCH!
So I have this in my e38 with new speakers and everything and it’s really nice because I got a 12 inch sub as well and just had to hook up the rca’s and power the sub and now it rocks my neighbours houses🤷♂️🤷♂️
How many phones can be paired with it AND If listening to radio input, will bluetooth take over audiosource for incoming call and become half of a speakerphone? Microphone would still be on phone obviously.
I own a track car and do not want the extra weight of a headunit, this would be perfect. Just need some lightweight speakers if you fancy doing a video 👍🏻
a question.. is there a portable cd player that work with an amp? i dont want to install a car stereo in my 1984 alfa romeo spider.. i have 3 taken out of the dash so far, and had to repair the damage..not fun.. so, portable cd player to an amp, then to car speakers..possable? thanks
Isn't it called input sensitivity (gain) on an amplifier to connect your phone directly to amplifier with 3.5mm to rca adapter? I did it on my kac-929 kenwood car amp on my boat and it works great. Shouldn't need some fancy amp to do that.
Hmm. Thats pretty nice. Think this would be a nice solution for our project car since the hole for the factory radio is covered by the Holley ProDash. Its certainly not super powerful but if its anything like the Kenwood head unit I in my SuperDuty(only 27w rms x 4) with a set of decent speakers it’ll suffice for streaming tunes from my iPhone between shaming suckers on the street. Lol! Oh and SCORE, Its even got a preamp output for a pair of subwoofers. Hell everything is so small now a lil adjustment in the box size for the subs and just put the sub amp inside the box. Every square inch counts since the battery box now takes up a good portion of the hatch
oh hi, curious i have 2 - 6x9 2 way 140 watt /45 rms speakers. do you recommend i bridge it and choose 2 channel mode? they are 4 ohms a piece. i am following the wiring diagram with dotted lines for the hook up on brochure
Can anyone tell me why my phone won't pair ? The guy who installed it in my fairing of my Yamaha 1300 deluxe , his phone linked with it right away and got music going. My won't pair. Any suggestions ? Is there a Kenwood help number ? I'm in Canada
Hey I’m having issues with mine . It’s flashing blue like it’s supposed to and when I try to pair it on my iPhone it’s saying pairing unsuccessful and make sure it’s on and in rang . I would love if you could help me see what the problem is .
Could you hook up a Sirius receiver to this with 3.5mm -RCA adapter? If not, do you know of a amp that would allow? Looking to get for utv when out in no man’s land
Hey Michael, unfortunately Sirius XM interfaces have a very specific output cable that you plug into a compatible stereo. i don't know of any 3.5mm adapter and couldn't find on on google search. www.qualitymobilevideo.com/sxv300v1.html
THis is a way better way to connect than bluetooth, I added mixer so I could do it this way because bluetooth has so many ultra annoying connection issues.
I'm having trouble getting my phone to connect it keeps saying check settings on the device is there something I need to do to it to make it connect to the phone. It does pull up but it wont connect
boss has something like this. it's a little controller with a bluetooth amp inside of it, and it's all contained in the little controller which explains why it doesn't have very good reviews. it seems too small to have an amp that's worth a damn inside of it.
Somthing like this but with buttons for handsfree and microphone connection would be really nice, I coul finally get away with uglly haead alpine unit and just hade6 buttons and ideally volume control wheel
....it's only 30watts RMS... Shit I just bought this amp yesterday and this is the first video of a wattage test I've seen on it. my 6.5" door speakers are 70w RMS but this amp had the best review and it's going inside me dash but I was expecting more like 45watts outa this.
For 90% of listening this is more than enough power to decent levels, it's only when you crank it with that it could be sending distortion, and that would be the last 10% of volume level (LOG scale). Be weary of less than reputable brands stating their RMS values, the values are exaggerated.
This amp does not do high level I put. The speaker wires are output only. The red circle is for aux in which is low level. This video is full of FAILURES.
Hard to listen to this guy talk. Could be how he talks or enunciate and the way his sound is mixed or eq'ed. Too much. I didn't finish this short video.
I mounted this amp inside a cooler with a lawnmower battery as the power. 4 kicker 8 inch marine speakers mounted on the outside of the cooler. This little amp gets really loud. And after accidentally leaving the cooler open on the boat overnight and getting filled with water the amp still works.

Perfect for my classic car ... don't want to cut up a dash for a new radio, so this is perfect!
Exactly!
How did you run power
Lol exactly what I'm doing
Just hooked this up with 2 5” kickers on my Harley , love the way it sounds
does it sound loud enough on your bike? i ordered some 4" kicker 50 watts rms for my seadoo it should be enough? thanks cheers
Hows it holding up? I just bought one for my bagger too..Was kind of cautious because i didn't know if it would have a good enough waterproof rating..
I was just looking at this on crutchfield, then I check out your channel for wiring my subs.. and POOF! I see this video.. You are the man!
Thanks! You better get it from us instead of Crutch!
thank you! Does this allow for hands free calling? If I hook up a mic? if no any leads on a good BT amp that does this.
Great vid with the Amp Dyno part kinda hidden. Always a nice touch!
Thanks bud!
pro tip : watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Colson Mark definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for since november myself =)

Calls will not transfer to the amp, just audio. One phone at a time
Can I connect a subwoofer to this unit?
I own a track car and do not want the extra weight of a headunit, this would be perfect. Just need some lightweight speakers if you fancy doing a video 👍🏻
Apline Type R's have neodymium magnets so they're pretty light, just look for neo magnet midbasses in component sets.
Does this have a app to adjust eq?

Seems like a good discrete option for a classic car that you want to maintain originality. Out of sight, out of mind.
exactly!!
I have the Jbl GTR 7505 version in my Datsun 260Z and I have to say it's BRILLIANT!!!!!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿😊
Can u also do a test on the Rockford t400ad since these are the 2 most motorcyclist use

I bought this thing 2 years ago using it in my car and motorcycle going strong
Nice
What kinda motorcycle speakers you use for it
that’s real clean i wanna get one
How would one run a power on/off when not using the car’s radio? Thanks!
With the remote turn on wire in the harness
@@Qualitymobilevideo Where do you connect it if you are not using a head unit?
Can anyone tell me why my phone won't pair ? The guy who installed it in my fairing of my Yamaha 1300 deluxe , his phone linked with it right away and got music going. My won't pair. Any suggestions ? Is there a Kenwood help number ? I'm in Canada
Can you hook up an equalizer to this amp?
No
Thats Neat! Wonder how long its gonna take for the competitors to make their own versions
edward wooten kicker has had one out
Hey I’m having issues with mine . It’s flashing blue like it’s supposed to and when I try to pair it on my iPhone it’s saying pairing unsuccessful and make sure it’s on and in rang . I would love if you could help me see what the problem is .
Have you tried resetting your phone's bluetooth settings? Forgetting the device then reconnecting
Great idea Kenwood..

Will the amplifier accept the headphone output of a smartphone?
It's possible, but I don't recommend it
THis is a way better way to connect than bluetooth, I added mixer so I could do it this way because bluetooth has so many ultra annoying connection issues.
Can you link this with a separate amp? Such as if I have an separate amp for my sub can I connect them together
The bluetooth remote? No this is a very specific feature on this very specific amplifier, it's not a universal feature
No not the remote. The amp, can you use the 4 channel for the inside speakers and then add another amp and sub to the system.
@@Will24three Yea you can use the amplifier without the bluetooth and connect it to a head unit.
Yes you should be able to run another amp off this for a sub.
Justifiable reason #1
Out of sight out of mind - Nothing to steal.
exactly . lots of assholes left and right..
Receiving speaker function? Not available.
Can you connect a different remote to it?
no
I'm having trouble getting my phone to connect it keeps saying check settings on the device is there something I need to do to it to make it connect to the phone. It does pull up but it wont connect
Make sure you've disconnected and forgotten all other bluetooth sources in the area that could be latching to the signal
Same here, it used to work fine for me, now I can’t get bluetooth to work. Junk. I hate bluetooth, so many issues.
Muy buen video

Wow Kenwood
You didn’t mention RF modulation!!!
There’s no subwoofer output?
It has a pair of RCA Outputs
Somthing like this but with buttons for handsfree and microphone connection would be really nice, I coul finally get away with uglly haead alpine unit and just hade6 buttons and ideally volume control wheel
Put this in my jet ski. It was loud enough to hear the 2 skar 6.5 at about 45 mph.. Amp stopped working after the second day on the water.
Wish we got a 2ohm reading.and bridge reading. Also test 2ohm bridge
Can you use this in your house?
I mean, it's designed for vehicles but you could technically use it anywhere
Your background sticker is so nice. What it was???
Nanoleaf nanoleaf.me/en-ca/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpseqwtSh3QIVh4uzCh0ICwOqEAAYASAAEgJTZvD_BwE
Excellent
HOW TO POWER IT?
Has a power harness as shown in the video
I just want my blazer to bump without having to do a traditional Amp and speaker setup lol...
We all like to dream.
I want one! That’s really cool
I can't get this unit to pair with my phone at allllll 🙈
Read the instructions..its a little confusing but it will work..I had to do it 3 times but it finally worked...or check you tube
No way to control the gains, bass, treble, or front/back fade...
Now you just need a permanent antenna on your phone for dab am/fm signals

@@Qualitymobilevideo what causes the distortion?
You’ll be fine. Unless you want the absolute max then you might reconsider.
@@Qualitymobilevideo my current amp has no distortion but it's not very strong either
I would put one of those on my son's Mustang Power wheels. I already have the JL audio Bluetooth controller in his Little Corvette Stingray 😎
LMFAO he can blast Vege-tales
Quality Mobile Video hahahaha 🤣
Shut up and take my money 😳
OK! Free shipping www.qualitymobilevideo.com/kac-m1824bt.html
that model number is a mouth full .
too bad it can't meet rated power. seemed promising.
But it says 400w
400W MAX, not RMS. MAX is not a reliable power rating as it is often used my manufacturers to advertise unrealistic power. Always go by RMS
The way this guy talks…… I couldn’t finish the video.
ENGLISH! God I need to learn more about car audio. Please do one for BMW E46 stock audio system. They are strange. lol
