http://kenwood.vdlabs.ru/power....html
Specs
KAC-646X 4-Channel Power Amplifier
Bridgeable 2, 3 or 4 channel output
Max. power output 50W X 4 (4Q) - 25W x 4 at 4Q 14.4V (0.08% THD) RMS power output
35W X 4 at 2Q 14.4V (0.8% THD) RMS power output
Tri-mode operation
A + B/A input selector
A/B independent level controls
High-pass filter (150Hz) and low-pass filter (80Hz)
DC-DC converter power supply
MOS FET current drive
Gold plated line in/out, speaker and power supply terminals
is this amp worth 40 bucks? also, can it maintain 50 rms x 4 consistently? sorry, but help an audio noob out. thanks

Re: Is this amp worth it? (JamesQ)
Depends on what you want to get out of it.
To run some cabin speakers in a low volume situation, or just to get something better then what's stock, then yeah, it's worth it. It's also going to be an upgrad over what is built into a headunit.
It will not put out 50 x 4 - always look at RMS power ratings. This amp is rated to be 25 x 4!
So it's a good amp to power a very small system, and I would say that it's worth $40 only if this is the amp requried for the application...otherwise you are wasting your money.
