I am selling a kenwood 929 1000 Watt Amp BRAND NEW, NOT REFURBISHED, $ 250

The KAC-929 is a two-channel amp with power ratings of 150 watts x 2 or 460 watts x 1 into 4 ohms and 230 watts x2 into 2 ohms. Features include a variable low pass filter, switchable bass boost, an expander, speaker level inputs, and fan-forced cooling. Performance The KAC-929 performed quite well on the test bench. While it didn’t post any surprisingly large power figures, it did meet or exceed all of its real power ratings with a minimum of fuss. The amp ran through our entire line-up of tests without a hitch, which generally indicates a stable, sensible design. Efficiency at 1/3 power measured an impressive 39 percent and overall, there’s a lot to like about the performance of this amp. The thing that I don’t like about the KAC-929 is the 1000-watt max power spec that’s emblazoned on the amps heat sink. Maybe the guys that do power ratings for head units also came up with this one. Attempting to keep an open mind, we performed one of those "dynamic" tests that we don’t put an awful lot of stock in. With a 14.4-volt supply, in a bridged configuration, we managed to squeeze out almost 64 volts at 1%THD. 64 volts into 4 ohms would be just over a kilowatt. However, in regard to real wattage, you’re a lot more likely to find this amp drawing 1000 watts than outputting 1000 watts. CONNECTIONS & ADJUSTMENTS Connections to the input side of the KAC-929 include RCA inputs and speaker level inputs, which include a wiring harness. At the other end, the amp provides gold-plated spade receptacles for all power and speaker connections. Power connections are 1/2-inch with speaker and remote turn-on connectors measuring 5/16-inch. All adjustments are located on the input end of the amp and include input sensitivity, bass boost (0, +6, +12 dB), expander on/off, stereo/mono switch, low pass filter on/off, and variable cutoff frequency adjustment. INSTALLATION The KAC-929 offers a fair amount of installation flexibility. The low pass crossover is variable over a sensible range from about 60 Hz to 150 Hz, speaker level inputs are a welcome option, and the amp’s overall layout makes sense. However, the bass boost and expander are of somewhat questionable use.
