Hey folks
Just bought an amp off a guy out of my car club.

It's a Kenwood KAC-PS150
Max output 2 Channel/4ohm:150Wx2
Rated Power Output
2 Channel/4ohm:75Wx2(20~20kHz, Less than 0.05% THD)
2 Channel/2ohm:110Wx2(1kHz, Less than 0.3% THD)
Bridged/4ohm:220W(1kHz, Less than 0.3% THD)

2ohm Load Capability
Build-in 10dB/oct Low Pass Filter (30~200Hz Variable)


Basically I want to know what it's going to be able to power.

I have 3x Bazooka 12" Subwoofers.
They are Bazooka EL1208's 8-Ohm ELWoofer

Now.. I'm new to the car-audio scene.. I'm wondering.. Does 8ohm mean it's too powerful for the specs of my amp? Or does 8 mean it's lower than the specs of my amp..

Should I use 1/2/3 of my subs with this amp?

What are anyones honest opinion?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks folks.

go with 2 subs or 4 subs not 3
3 subs is harder to set up

So I guess my question would be:

With those specs of my amp, am I going to blow something? Or do you think everything should be ok...

Thanks for the diagram!, that's awesome.
