User questions & answers

Question:	Is this amplifier waterproof
Answer:	This is a loaded question do to many people having different opinions about it. Some say the more strands allow for easier flow and less voltage drop when power consumption goes up. There are opinions all over about this topic, so I will give you what I have. I ran both positive and negative 10 awg automotive type wire, running my tower with 4 6x9 speakers and it all works just perfect. Wire run length was 17ft. The bluetooth works well but range is just about 5ft in my application.
Question:	Does it come with a volume control knob
Answer:	Hi, yes you can connect your mobile phone using Bluetooth. You may check other details of the unit by visiting our website pyleaudio.com. Type the model number on the search box PLMRA430BT for more details. Thank you.
Question:	Anyone try installing in a 2013-2015 Dodge Dart
Answer:	Yes but it’s a POS
Question:	Would I need an amp wiring kit
Answer:	I've used these amps several times. If your referring to subwoofers, you can run a low-pass filter. Using the smaller 4 channel version of this amp, I run two 6.5" speakers from channel 1 and 2, and bridge the 3rd and 4th channels to run through a low pass filter to a subwoofer. Sounds good.

Kenwood KAC-D5101 - Class D Mono Power Amplifier

D Series Amplifiers provide a powerful solution in a compact design, ideal for upgrading your car audio system.

Dual Sigma Drive

This advanced negative feedback circuit improves damping factor and increases accuracy and sound quality. When a signal is passed to a subwoofer, like a 50Hz note, the speaker will move and create the note. However, because the speaker has mass and a suspension, it won't stop moving once it's in motion. This extra movement (sound) creates a type of distortion that's not part of the original signal. The negative feedback circuit senses this unwanted movement and sends out an opposite pulse to stop the speaker like an electronic brake.

Small Size Big Power

The KAC-D5101 is small in size but with its tremendous sound output, it is extremely versatile. It can be installed in vehicles where space is limited and is perfect for vehicle owners who don't want to sacrifice cargo room or who prefer hidden installations.

CEA-2006 Compliant

CEA-2006 is a system of testing and measurement 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 into a 4Ω load, with 1% or less Total Harmonic Distortion plus noise (THD+N), and over a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz (for full range amplifiers). Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4Ω. CEA-2006 standards allow consumers to compare car amplifiers and receivers under the same conditions (apples to apples). Using CEA-2006 criteria, the Kenwood KAC-9106D is rated at 500 watts RMS x 1 channel with a 76 dBA signal to noise ratio. The signal to noise ratio at the rated power output (not CEA-2006 conditions) is 100 dB.

• Mono subwoofer amplifier
• 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (1, 000 watts x 1 at 2 ohms)

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this amp power 3 alpine w10s4 subwoofers
Answer:	The digital channels 30-1, 30-2, 30-3 and above are technically on the same broadcast channel. In the antenna world, the broadcast channel is not necessarily the same as the number that shows up on your TV.In Detroit, where we are 4.1 is NBC and the sub-channels 4.2 and 4.3 come along with it. However it is broadcast on a channel VHF 7 in our area. You can use websites like antennapoint.com to find out the broadcast channel, which is often referred to as an RF channel or REAL channel. This device was designed after the digital transition, and is fully capable of finding and fine tuning.

Answer:	basily the pickup ability
Question:	Will this power 4 Kenwood 5 way 6x9 speakers
Answer:	The HD7694P measures 65" long.
Question:	When setting the gain on my amp, do I set bass knob remote included all the way up or all the way down? (Not talking about the bass boost on the amp
Answer:	This wall plate amplifier provides amplified antenna signal to 2 TV sets. It does not provide 12V DC to the antenna. The 12V DC to the wall plate amplifier provides power to the amplifier and to the 12V DC socket on the plate as a convenience to power 12V DC items. The signal from the antenna is amplified to improve reception for 2 TV sets. In a typical RV installation with more than 2 TV outlets, one output from the amplifier is fed to a signal splitter in order to fed the extra outlets. That splitter may be installed inside the wall behind the wall plate amplifier. If the amplifier is turned off the amplifier switches to the cable source if connected, but does not amplify the cable signal. Here is a link to the manual. http://www.winegard.com/kbase/uploads/2451489.pdf

The signal to noise ratio at the rated power output (not CEA-2006 conditions) is 100 dB.

Connections:

Power Connections: The power and ground connections are 0.55" wide screw terminals. The remote turn-on screw terminal is 0.335" wide. A Phillips-head or flat blade screw driver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Spade connectors are recommended. The manual lists a minimum of 10 gauge wire for power and ground, but given the 120 amp fuse value and the current consumption specification of 65 amps, we recommend a 4 gauge wiring kit.

Speaker Outputs: There are two pair of 0.335" wide screw terminal speaker outputs; they are internally wired in parallel, making it easy to connect two subwoofers. A Phillips-head or flat blade screw driver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Spade connectors are also recommended for the speaker wires.

Controls:

Gain: To accommodate the varying range of signal levels from today's factory and aftermarket radios, the KAC-9106D features an adjustable gain control, 0.2-5.0 volts line level (RCA) and 4.0-12.0 volts speaker level.

Crossover: The built-in 24 dB/octave low-pass filter has a continuously variable crossover point, 50Hz to 200Hz. Because this is a subwoofer amp, the crossover is always engaged.

Bass Boost: The bass boost is adjustable from 0-18dB at 40Hz.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I connect this to a 5 prong toggle switch? I want it to turn on even when the vehicle is off
Answer:	I don't know about a 5 prong toggle switch but you definitely could with a 5-pin Bosche Relay (one with an 87a terminal). You can easily find wiring diagrams for them online, but essentially, pin-30 to the positive input to the amp, pin 87a to your accessory positive from the vehicle, pin 85 and 87 to your constant positive from the vehicle and then pin 86 to the vehicle ground with a normal toggle switch inline ... with the switch turned off, the circuit runs to pin 30 through pin 87a ... with the switch turned on, the circuit runs to pin 30 through pin 87
Question:	How (where) do I connect the blue wire since I am using this amp without a head unit
Answer:	Connect the blue wire to a power source. Ideally, the power source should be controlled by the ignition switch. This will prevent the battery from getting drained if the amp is left on. You can also connect the blue wire to the same power source as the main power lead. In this instance a on/off switch (on the blue wire) should be inserted so the unit can be turned off.
Question:	If i use bluetooth, do the line out jacks work? i want to use bt with this as the main amp but run a bazooka amplified tube via the line out jacks
Answer:	Yes because im doing the same thing on my system im using this amp for. Its a Great amp. I have it on my jet ski and can hear my speakers even at 65mph with wind noise.
Question:	How long is the cord on the remote? Thanks
Answer:	The cord is 10.5 ft long th the remote control head
Question:	just installed this amp and it is producing a smell, is this normal
Answer:	The smell can be from the new amp warming up during use (feel the temp of the amp if you smell it again to verify). If it's smokey or smells like an electrical fire/short, I'd disconnect everything and look for arcing/burn marks. You might have a stray power line that's hitting ground intermittently. Good luck. Trouble shooting can be a pain.
Question:	can this amp push 1 1500 watt kicker 12 l
Answer:	It can if you bridge it right, but later you'll want a much bigger amp. The bass is right for me. My Pioneer rms is 1400 watts for a 12" also. Hope this helps!
Question:	Will this amp power two rockford fosgate 12" punch xlc 400watt speakers (200 rms
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Would this amp push a JL sub 12w6v3d4?..with no problems. Thank you in advance
Answer:	The JL 12W6v3D4 is a dual 4 ohm voice cool. If they are wired parallel (see owner'a manual) you with have a 2 ohm subwoofer and receive the 500watts. JL recommends a 200-600 watt amp, so this amp is well within those specs.
