Marine Amplifier: The Kenwood KAC-M5001 is a Class-D mono subwoofer amplifier, providing 200 watts RMS into a 4 ohm load or 300 watts into a 2 ohm load, and is designed for the marine environment. The marine amp carries IP66, IP67, and ASTM B117 rating.
CTA-2006 Compliant: CTA-2006 is a system of testing and measurement methods for mobile audio amplifiers. This voluntary standard advocates a uniform method for measuring an amplifier’s RMS power output and signal-to-noise ratio. The criteria for measuring power uses a DC input voltage of 14.4 volts and the RMS power output is measured over a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz (for full range amplifiers), with 1% or less Total Harmonic Distortion plus noise (THD+N). Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms. CTA-2006 standards allow consumers to compare car amplifiers and receivers under the same conditions (apples to apples).
Speaker Level Input: The RCA input jacks can be used for preamp level or speaker level input signals. If connecting the source unit’s speaker wire to the input jacks, a pair of speaker wire to RCA adapters will be required (sold separately). When using a speaker level input signal, it may not be necessary to connect a remote turn-on lead because of the amplifier’s signal sensing function.
Protection Circuits: The amp uses a microprocessor to provide protection against over-heating, shorted speaker wires, low impedance on an output channel, and sending a DC signal to the speaker outputs.

Marine Amplifier: The Kenwood KAC-M5014 is a Class-D 4-channel amplifier that can provide 50 watts RMS per channel into a 4? or 75 watts per channel into a 2? load, and is designed for the marine environment. The marine amp carries an IP66/67, ASTM B117 waterproof rating.
