POWERVOX, and KINGWOOD, might now hold my most ripped off name for car stereo equipment ever! I will never forget my oh so sweet (not to mention VERY pink) ROCKWOOD amp....

Before ANYONE buys this, give me a call, or shoot me a PM, and I'll send you in the right direction on purchasing stereo that is better and cheaper than this.....

I woudnt piss on that combo if it was onfire.

They are total ######. I give a 80% change that they work for a day then die, and a 20% change they die within a month. Stick to well known bands like Pioneer, Clarion, Fusion, Alpine, Infinity etc. Each item in my audio system costs more as a single part then that crap system combined, but they have lasted ages and will continue to

Tell us what your looking for and we can help better direct you

kenwood is actually ######! i probably trust kingwood more

a friend built his complete system from them after he bought a kenwood headunit... took about a month and a speaker broke, a couple days after the rubber on his sub cracked and his amp kept overheating and would just die... so he was left with a headunit rear speakers and 1 front speaker... not very good quality

Kenwood soundwave technology Subs, have won international competitions. Where did your friend get his? Sometimes shops will sell refurbished or damaged subs as new, but in general most Kenwood stuff is high end and has been since the 80's.

Kenwood is high end, not as high end as alpine and the likes but prity good.

Was the system properly tuned? was it installed properly? For one it would be covered under warranty if it was

Mate go into a proper car audio store and tell them about your uber kool Kingwood setup and watch them laugh in your face. I had a list of brand classification done up by Car Audio Australia and beleive me kenwood lies in the reputable caterogry and kingwood lies in the ripoff ###### category.


That ebay listin for kingwood lists the amp as the following specs

2900WATT total maximum power
5 channel operation which can be bridged to form three Mono channels
350 watts/Ch at 4 ohm load X 4 PLUS 1500 watts at 4 ohm X 1
2 X 700 watts + 1 X 1500 watts in a bridged mode at 4 ohm load
Two 30 amp fuses

Now 2 30amp fuses running on a 14.5 volt car system will only allow a maximum of 870 watts of power. THATS AT THE VERY MAXIMUM

Power=Volts x Amps
14.5 x 60=870

Thats along way off the claimed 1500watts @ 4 ohm channel and even further away from the 2900watt maximum power of this bullshit amp.

*EDIT* have you read the bull thats in that listing?? He basically gives you 100000 resons not to buy the junk. He contradicts himself like a mofo

still... if ur looking for a cheap sound system thats the way to go.

and i helped him with the installation... and i know i did it right, he tuned it though, but tuning shouldnt blow up the speakers... just the sub and the amp shouldnt overheat due to tuning badly, or should it

I have less than $100 into my stereo. I have OK front speakers, OK back, a Kicker Amp and a one 12" pioneer (not my choice it was free). I GUARANTEE 100% my car sounds better than ANY car with that set up. Yes I have the hook up on stereo stuff, but if you look around, anybody can find a good price, on quality stuff.

FOR THE MONEY GO TO WALMART, AND BUILD A SYSTEM FROM THERE. 1. It is what it says it is, and 2. If it blows up in a hurry, walmart would probably be pretty good about returning it.

ANYONE READING THIS POST: I can get RF Punch series 10's for $25, and 12's for $30. I can get this anytime, and in a 1 sq ft bow they sound AMAZING!

DON'T BUY KINGWOOD, ROCKWOOD, POWERVOX, VOXGATE, THUMP, BOSS, ETC.....

Another good place to check is Pawn shops, and swapmeets. Most of them will carry good stuff, that somebody needed money more than their nice subs, so you can get a good deal!

lol. well... i've had mine in a few months... works okay... cd's get stuck from time to time but if you pull the face plate off you can grab em lol

but yeah... mine was free too... my mom bought it for me as a gift cuz she thought mine sucked. lol

well anyways.. i'm gonna buy a better one later maybe but this does the job for now...

I have an alpine head unit I got from a friend of mine because he said the radio part was screwed up... turns out his antenna was just unhooked free head unit for me... although I only have 2 speakers, the car came that way, 2 jensens in the rear, the idiots cut the stock speaker grilles to put them in... Its a good thing I don't really care too much for audio in my car...
