I have a Kenwood KAC-9103D hooked up to two 12" KFC 3011. My amp stopped working the other day after it worked fine for about a year the blue light for the fan lights up, the fan runs and the amp runs but the red light flashes on and off and there is no output to the subs. I hooked the amp up to a friends system and it does the same thing. It also makes a tick when the red light flashes. But i have confirmed that its not the wiring. Whats up?

My kenwood kac 9103d just crapped out on me and i am looking to buy a new amp but when i bought my sub the guy specifically wanted to know what type of amp i had to match it to the sub. so now do i have to...

More specifically, the amp must support the resistance of the sub, or subs. If your amp is 2-ohm stable, it can run a sub, or subs wired for a 2-ohm load. Also, whatever the recommended maximum wattage is for the subwoofer, try not to exceed this much, if at all, with the amplifiers wattage.

My best guess is that it would be your ground wire or even the power into your amp. I would check all the connections going to and from your amp

Kenwoodxw1000f shut off after 10 sec

the problem sounds like your new sub is drawing to much power and your amp can not handle it. bridging the amp is a good way to get the full power out of your amp. But it isnt always suggested, my solution is to get a bigger amp. I install stereo systems for a living, and i tell my customers that it is smart to get an amp about 100 more watts then the rms rating of your subwoofer.

Why does the kenwood kac-9103d has two sets of terminals if its a one channel amp so how do i hook up a dual 12 phoniex gold 1200 watt sub to it

Hello damasogrizzl,

The 2 sets of terminals are connected internally. Having 2 sets just makes it more convenient when wiring multiple subs. The amp is rated for 900 watts RMS into a 2 ohm load. The specs claim that it is stable at 1 ohm but does not give a power rating.

The Radial SD competition series from Phoenix Gold are rated to handle up to 600 watts RMS. If you have the model RSdC124 with dual 4 ohm voice coils, it would be best to wire the voice coils in parallel for a 2 ohm load and connect the sub to one set of terminals on the amp. If your sub is the model RSdC122 with dual 2 ohm voice coils, you should wire the voice coils is series for a 4 ohm load and connect the sug to one set of terminals on the amp. Wiring the voice coils in parallel will result in a 1 ohm load. And, while the amp may be stable at 1 ohm, the sub will be seriously overpowered.

Hope this helps.

Adjusting wattage on kenwood kac 9103 class D mono amp

That amplifier is 900W x 1 @ 2ohms.
If your subs are 4ohm SVC wired Parallel, resulting in a 2 ohm load, each sub will only see 1/2 of the rated power. (450W ea.)
Your gain (sensitivity) setting should be between 75% and 85% to max. You will be fine.

Kenwood KAC-8401 light goes from blue to red when turned on

Either the amp is ad or the sub got shorted? You can check itby disconnecting the Sub and seeing if the amp comes on blue then. If yes, then the sub is shorted. If no, then the amp is shorted. Also chck the voltage AT THE AMP. Make sure that it is above 12 Volts.
