Your problem is that the transistors on the circuit board are shorting out on the back panel of the case. is the amp connected to the sub box? its caused by the vibrations through the box and amp. take off the back cover and look for some scorch marks, if there is any, find the leads on the circuit board that are causing it and bend them down a bit. i had the same problem with my amp, and so have many other people. this fixed my Kenwood 9152D, and it has worked fine for many years after using this solution. if anyone has this problem and needs help with fixing it, email me at [email protected]

I need to know the wattege of a kenwood kac -624

The KAC-624 is a 40 watt x2 @ 4 ohm RMS amp. 55 watt x2 @ 2ohm. 110 watt x 1 Bridged I assume at 4 ohm. Manual does not specify. It can run 2 ohm in stereo mode but is unclear on mono impedance requirement. It can run 4 ohm mono at 110 watt but at 2 ohm?

I need an appropriate speaker for my kenwood amplifier kac-5202

This amp is stable down to 4 ohms bridged at 120 Watts or 2 ohms stereo at 60 Watts X 2. If you are going with the bridged mono hookup just make sure the impedance of your subwoofer is no less than 4 ohms. A good rule of thumb is to be at least double of what your amps rated output power is. So if your amp can put out 120 Watts into 4 ohms then get at least a 240 watt subwoofer.

Do not exceed the rated load for your amp, you will damage it. Here is the datasheet for your amplifier

I dont no how many watt my amp has

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

To my understanding, a Kenwood KAC-628 is rated with max power of 100 watts X 2 at 4 ohms per channel. Incidentally, it is bridgeable resulting to 300watts X 1.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

Repeated blown subs

Unfortunately some of these speakers today... DO NOT PERFORM up to peak as they should.The on logical reason for this to be happening it that the speakers are NOT very DURABLE and cannot take constant playing. I would recommend to L7 the can take alot more abuse than your average speakers. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

Power of amplifier

If the KAC-7252 is to be bridged, the operation mode switch on the top of the amp is set to mono. When switched to Mono, the signal from the left channel input only is used. Bridging creates 4 times as much power so the KAC-7252 delivers 170 Watts per channel so that 340 watts total so that value 340 is multiplied by 4 and that gives you 1360 watts of power. so it will drive them.
