Kenwood KAC-M5024BT Audio Amplifier

Wow! I can’t believe how bad this is. Where to start?! To start, I will never buy another Kenwood product. I will always tell people my Kenwood experience with this product, even if they don’t ask I’ll but right in their conversation, interrupting and all of that. The list is long, here goes: -It’s WEAK, 360 watts?! NOPE it’s not as loud as the 200 watt max x 4 Sony head unit it replaced. -The volume knob is HORRIBLE! It increases the sound one click at a time so, it clicks up or down, it’s not a smooth turning knob. What does this mean? It’s either too loud or too low. -The volume knob does NOT respond if you turn it “too fast”. Basically you MUST turn it very slowly click….click….click! -The blue lights on the control panel flash bright blue nonstop until bluetooth is connected. At night it lights up the whole inside roof of the vehicle after blinding you every time it flashes! -Turn it OFF! You can’t turn it off! For almost 400 dollars and there no power button!!! Ignition on - power on,flash, flash, flash… -When it connects to bluetooth it starts playing WHATEVER and it’s a max volume. IT ALWAYS COMES ON AT MAX VOLUME! -IT ALWAYS COMES ON AT MAX VOLUME!!! -Combine the issues above and this is what you get. When you get in the vehicle it connects then starts blaring whatever is in your phone at MAX volume and when you go to turn it down DONT TURN THE KNOB TOO FAST OR IT WONT FN RESPOND! Then when you get out of the vehicle for a minute and come back IT ALL HAPPENS AGAIN!!! -Oh, just remembered sometimes it stops responding via the phone, bluetooth device or control panel. In this case you must stop the vehicle, turn OFF the vehicle then RESTART the vehicle so the unit will restart, reconnect, start blaring whatever at max volume where you’ll have to quickly turn it down but the knob won’t respond cause YOUR TURING IT TOO FAST!!! It’s another junk product that no body at the company who makes it bothered to use for a day otherwise they’d know ITS CRAP! I had high hopes for a product like this so I bought the brand name bluetooth amp, bummer! Some good things. THE LIST IS SHORT! -It’s weak but the sound is clear. -its been weeks now and IT STILL COMES ON! I would end by saying enjoy but you won’t!
