High Performance Parts Special capacitors and inductors have been carefully selected for the digital amplifiers LC filter which is essential for achieving high-resolution audio. These high-performance parts reduce noise and distortion and ensure excellent sound quality. Deep Bass Sound By using a down-firing subwoofer and superior technologies the audio system generates high-quality sound and powerful bass while still being compact. Enhanced Signal to Noise Ratio The feedback value of the current XR Amplifier has been optimized to improve the S/N ratio. As a result the noise level has been reduced by up to 40%. Specialized Circuit Design The noise reduction system employs a special layout that separates the analog circuit digital amplifier circuit and power supply circuit. This keeps interference between the circuits to a minimum decreasing noise and thereby achieving high performance and sound quality. Wired Remote Control The wired remote control allows you to adjust the volume of a subwoofer when connected to the head unit.

Without that you will set your gains incorrectly and miss out on the true performance of this amplifier. I have to say the Kenwood is incredibly clean and powerful but only if it is tuned correctly. I have installed a number of systems in the past but have had to guess as best as possible to the gains on the amplifier. It has always resulted in distortion and turning up the amp to any decent level as resulted in speakers sounding horrible. After using the DD1, I probably have the best system I have ever had just due to the fact that it has been tuned. Great amplifier and has more than enough power for my setup. Review: Great seller - Great product unfortunately it wouldn't work in my application and the seller was very kind and accommodating in allowing me to return the product with such ease . Great seller will buy from them again .

I have my tweeters bound to my front door speakers. **Q: Is this a genuine, new Kenwood product?** A: Genuine and NEW...Had mine checked out by certified installer **Q: Where would you set the input sensitivity for a 4v head unit?** A: That’s a slightly involved topic. You shouldn’t just go off of the rated voltage for your head unit. Here’s the process I would follow: 1) turn the input sensitivity (aka gain) all the way down on the amplifier. Note: turning the gain “down” should result in a decrease in audible volume. 2) set your head unit for medium volume, and set the base adjuster knob (if installed) to midway. 3) while playing some music that you are familiar with, adjust the equalizer and other sound settings on the head unit until you like how the system sounds. 4) turn the head unit up to 3/4 volume. 5) connect a multimeter (available for about $20 at most hardware stores) across the subwoofer speaker leads. IMPORTANT: the sub still needs to be hooked up to the amplifier - you’re just connecting the multimeter in parallel. Set the multimeter to read volts AC. 6) calculate the max sub voltage per the following equation: Vmax = sqrt(P/R), where “sqrt” means square root, “R” is the rated impedance of your sub (for example, 2 ohms), and “P” is the rated power of the amplifier in Watts RMS for the selected speaker impedance (for example, 600 WRMS). 7) Play a 0dB 40 Hz test tone through the system (test tone sound files are typically available for free via google search). 8) while observing the multimeter, turn up the sub gain until the voltage on the multimeter is as close as you can get it to Vmax without exceeding it. 9) once the sub gain is set, play some music through the system. Turn up the other speaker gains until the speakers sound balanced with the sub. 10) play a 0 dB 80 Hz test tone through the system. Calculate Vmax per the equation above for the front and rear speakers. Hook up your multimeter to all four front and rear speaker channels and verify that Vmax is not exceeded for any of these channels. If it is, turn the gain down on that channel. 11) your system is now tuned. To avoid blowing the speakers, don’t turn the head unit up louder than 3/4 volume, and be careful to not turn the base adjustment knob up past midway at higher volumes. **Q: 75 w x 4 / 600w x 1 (2ω) . if my set up is like this except 600w is 800w for the subs. i should be okay?** A: This is an amazing amp. It’s pushing 4 door speakers and 2 subs. I would definitely buy another. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tune it correctly and it will be great *by C***P on 3 December 2024* First off, get a DD1 distortion detector and use it to tune you head unit and then your amp.

Great seller will buy from them again . James ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AWESOME! *by F***2 on 29 May 2021* This little amp is amazing. Great sound quality. And wont break your bank against way more expensive ones that give about the same quality. The only thing missing out of this amp is the Subsonic filter but its still a nice 5 channel amp to run a simple system if that's what you are looking for. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kenwood eXcelon XR901-5 Class D 5 Channel Amplifier - RECOIL RCI412 100% Oxygen Free Copper 12ft 4-Channel RCA Audio Cable, Twisted Pair with Noise Reduction - RECOIL RCI66 99.99% Oxygen Free Copper 6ft 6-Channel RCA Audio Cable, Twisted Pair with Noise Reduction --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/407948924-xr901-5-excelon-900-watt-5-channel-amplifier](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/407948924-xr901-5-excelon-900-watt-5-channel-amplifier) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
