So this needs to be powered directly to the battery, where as the Kenwood KSC-SW11 can be powered by using existing wiring from OEM amp (not 8 guage)?

I wired mine directly to my battery. My battery is right next to amp in my corvette. I bought a hookup kit for mine. Comes with everything you need.

From the battery to unit heavy guage wire and also from player to unit so it will turn on when player turns on. I wired mine from player to fighter pilot toggle switch to unit so I have the option to use or not.

Yes it's like wiring a regular amplifier. Has RCA and high level inputs. Only thing it lacks is a remote on wire. On another note it does not need to be directly wired to your battery like a normal amp would. Hope this has helped you.

Yes. You need a cable kit to run the power from the car battery to the amplifier. You can find plenty of these on amazon I use a 8awg cable and I think that is way more then what is required for this amp but if you are going to run a cable you might as well use larger as it gives you plenty of flexibility for a new amp in the future. The speaker itself is in a self contained speaker box and can just sit in your trunk (heavy enough not to move and strong enough to handle any abuse. I do recommend a 12 inch grill though... Also available on Amazon.

Amp wiring kit? No. But the amp is built in to the box (that's what "loaded" means). All you have to do is wire power, signal, on/off (remote), and ground... Essentially an amp wiring kit from Walmart or best buy. Hope that helps

Yes, it should.. that sub is 300-1000 watt rms,, I personally wouldn't use that amp but it should work. With my experience with kenwood is that when you push them to there max they tend to cut off and get pretty warm. To be honest that sub is to much for that amp, your better off saving money and getting the alpine sws-12d2... that would be better for that amp. Unless you plan to upgrade your amp in the future with the type r,I would get the sws12d2, to save money and have the same power..

The power comes from the rotor box. It is fed through the cable so no extra wire is required.

Hi Joe if u have aftermarket deck just use the 12v output from it. is label as "antenna" blue wire. Or u can use the output call "amp "

My best guess is that the 12v 2a wall wart was the smallest, cheapest one they could find that could acceptably run the amplifier. I purchased an aftermarket 72 watt power supply for the amp to remedy this issue. If you're using this in a vehicle application you won't have worry about this as the vehicle's electrical system should provide all the amperage the amp will ask for.

I would stick with kenwood two way or three way. Make sure they are the same ohm and wattage.

I have the output connected to another amp, in anothher room. No external spkr jacks to do it otherwise unless internal wiring is modified.

No power wire but all you have to do run a 14gauge wire from the amp to power it up.

No. I bought to of the wired kenwood remotes. Simple install. Unit it works great. Had to get a new satellite unit ( $35 at best buy online). The 3 preouts are great. I run the head unit power to 4 spealers inside. I 750 watt amp plus a powered bazooka subwoofer. All in all great unit for the money .

I think this 12v is just what type of system (auto) the speaker was designed for. There is absolutely no reason a car speaker cannot run off of a home audio (110AC) receiver just as well as it does off of an auto head unit. You never connect the speaker directly to the power, whether that power is a wall socket or car battery.

Mine runs on the 12V system in my tour boat. You just attach the right size terminals to the positive and negative wires for the 12V plug, and attach them to the + and - terminals of your 12v battery, or better yet, to + and - bus bars that are attached to your battery. I've liked this amp so far. Good luck.

There is no direct way to connect a passive Sub-woofer to this AV Receiver. You have a few choice though (and I don't know the exact details of your Kenwoods as there are few models with HTIB). One: you can use an active cross-over on the speaker lines going to the front channels and then use a low pass option to drive your sub (wire the others directly to front) or two: you can purchase a separate monoblock type amplifier to drive the SubWoofer or three: buy an active (powered) subwoofer. Assuming you don't want to replace the Kenwood with an active device, I suggest option two. See here for low-cost options:

I don't know the answer to your question but have installed 2 Western K&K;'s and love them. I often run them straight into an amp without a preamp, not sure how they work without phantom power but they do. I notice the sound is a little more brittle without the preamp, but it's useable, I've gigged with it often that way. I'm not a techie, but I THINK that the pickup is hot enough to do what you want.
