Our take on the KENWOOD XR1001-1 500W CAR AMP

The Kenwood XR1001-1 is a Class D mono amplifier built to drive a subwoofer, rated at 500W RMS into 4 ohms and 1000W RMS into 2 ohms. It adds a variable low-pass filter and a wired remote level control, so bass can be tuned and adjusted from the driver's seat. It suits anyone adding a single sub to a factory or aftermarket system who wants real power without a large chassis. Against rival mono amps it is compact and simple rather than feature-heavy, and owners of Kenwood's Reference Series rate it for clean output at high volume.

Best forPowering a single subwooferDrivers who want bass control from the dashCompact installs with limited spaceUpgrading a factory system
Pros
  • Strong RMS output for one sub, 500W at 4 ohms and 1000W at 2 ohms
  • Class D design runs cooler and draws less current than Class AB
  • Variable low-pass filter for tuning the sub's upper range
  • Wired remote level control for adjusting bass while driving
  • Compact footprint for a high-power mono amp
Cons
  • Mono only, so it cannot run front or rear speakers
  • No subsonic filter listed, which matters for ported boxes
  • Not rated for marine or boat use
  • Setup needs care to match gain and filter to the sub

Questions and answers

Will it power two subwoofers?
It is a single-channel mono amp, so it drives one sub or a pair wired together to a combined 2-ohm load. Check the combined impedance before wiring.
What impedance subs can it run?
It is rated at 4 ohms and 2 ohms. A 2-ohm load draws the full 1000W RMS, so make sure the sub is rated for that power.
Does it include a remote bass knob?
Yes, a wired remote level control is included for adjusting bass from the front of the car.
Can I use it in a boat?
No. It is not rated for marine use, so it belongs in a car or truck.
Can it power my door speakers?
No. It is mono and meant for a subwoofer. Door speakers need a multi-channel amp or the head unit's own power.
How big is it?
About 12-5/8 inches wide, 6-5/8 inches long and 2 inches tall, so it fits in tight spaces behind a seat or in a trunk side panel.
