Five-channel power for front, rear and sub
The Kenwood XR901-5 is a Class-D car amplifier built to drive four speakers and a subwoofer from a single chassis. It suits owners who want a complete system upgrade without stacking multiple amps.
Class-D efficiency keeps output steady
At 14.4 V the amp draws 80 A to deliver 60 W × 4 plus 400 W to the sub at 4 Ω, or 75 W × 4 plus 600 W at 2 Ω. The 78 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 1 % THD are maintained across the 20–40,000 Hz range during extended listening sessions.
Replaces separate four-channel and mono amps
The 260 × 51 × 169 mm footprint fits where two larger units would not. Variable 12 dB/oct high- and low-pass filters at 50–200 Hz for the front and rear channels, a 24 dB/oct low-pass for the sub and 0–18 dB bass boost at 40 Hz let you tune the system without extra processors. Speaker-level inputs with signal-sensing turn-on simplify integration with factory head units.

Questions about this item
How much current does the XR901-5 draw when running all day at full output?
The amplifier consumes up to 80 A from the vehicle electrical system, so the alternator and wiring must support that continuous demand.
What wiring and power components must already be in the car for this amp to work?
You need 4 AWG or larger power and ground cables, an 80 A or higher fuse near the battery, and a solid chassis ground point.
Will the speaker-level inputs on the XR901-5 work with a factory head unit that has no RCA outputs?
Yes, the high-level inputs accept speaker signals directly and include signal-sensing turn-on so no separate remote wire is required.
