Product Description

KAC-M1824BT

Kenwood KAC-M1824BT - Power your music on land or sea

Kenwood's KAC-M1824BT 4-channel amplifier will pump up your car's audio system with 45 watts RMS per channel — that's more than twice the power of most car stereos. The super-compact KAC-M1824BT will add new clarity and impact to the basic sound system of almost any kind of vehicle on land or water, and it'll fit in a lot of places when space is tight. The amp uses plastic plugs that protect its power and speaker connections, and features a conformal coated circuit board that keeps out moisture and salt, so the party won't stop just because of a little wetness.

KAC-M1824BT

IPX5 REMOTE CONTROL

The KAC-M1824BT remote control is designed to be mounted in places that are exposed to the elements. To operate in these conditions the remote control has a IPX-5 certification. This water resistant certification is the grade at which a device continues to function when directly subjected to 12.5 L of water per minute from all directions using a 6.3 mm inside diameter nozzle at a distance of approximately 3m for at least 3 minutes. This level of water resistance makes it perfect for ATV, Motorcycles and boats.

KAC-M1824BT

MULTI-APPLICATION

Many of today's powersports have very limited space to work in and tend to be a harsh environment for electronics because of the exposure to outdoor environments. KENWOOD's compact performance amplifiers are small in size so they fit even the most limited installation areas. The amplifiers also use a conformal coated main PCB (printed circuit boards) which offer extra layers of protection to help prevent moisture or damp air from damaging the product.

KAC-M1824BT

BUILT-IN BLUETOOTH

With today's smartphones hosting a wide variety of listening choices such as stored music, internet radio, podcasts, etc., it is no wonder that customers want to use this as their primary listening source. Bluetooth offers the easiest and most popular connection, KAC-M1824BT is not only your standalone Bluetooth gateway but if used with an in-dash receiver, it will double the power of a typical CD receiver with it's built-in 45Watts x 4 of amplification. A water resistant controller can be used to adjust volume and change tracks.

Nice headless unit
4 Stars
Nice headless unit
I've installed this in my Jeep as a replacement for the old aftermarket headunit. It work very well, sound quality is good, volume is good even with the doors off of the vehicle. I fits into the space left by the old headunit. I have the controls set into a piece of kydex attached to the old head mounting plate. The controls are nice and the buttons have a nice tactile feel and are big and easy to tap while bouncing around, and the full rubber face of the controls should keep muddy or wet hands from getting moisture into the unit.However at night the blue back light around the source button in bluetooth mode is extremely bright, blindingly so. There is no way to dim the backlight built into the unit. However the unit isn't really designed for use in road going vehicles so I'm not really surprised there is not an option on the unit. But if you're handy the controls can be easily disassembled (four screws removes the back and the rubber face just slips off exposing the circuit board) and the blue LEDs inside the controls can be covered with small bits of making tape to dim them to your liking.Also while the volume controls work in bluetooth mode, they do not work in line-in mode. So anything on the line-in will have to use its own volume controls or an external one between it and the amp. Makes sense as it designed for use behind a headunit and not in a stand-alone headless setup.In bluetooth mode it is also not possible to turn the volume all the way down, there is not a "0" setting, if you want the sound off you'll have to hit pause. So if you're used to jamming the Vol- button to get silence you'll have to readjust your habits. The volume levels are also a bit coarse but not so much that its an issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great sounding simple solution for adding tunes to your UTV or motorcycle
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2016
Bought this for a 4 seat Polaris RZR1000, mounted it in the dash on the drivers side. I flush mounted the controller in the dash front console pocket. and ran the cable through the back and up into the dash. Bridged it to 2 channel mode to two Polk DB651 in SSV kick panel speaker pods. Speakers sound clear as day going 65+ mph through the dirt with no distortion. Amp turns on manually via a switch on my dash and bluetooth connects to my Note 3 every time and has a great range of at least 30 feet.

You don't need to be a pro to install with the super simple installation. The amp is small enough you can put it anywhere. My next purchase will be another marine amp and sub and will be connected via the RCA outputs on this one. Very simple, easy, sounds great, and best part is no need for a head unit!

UPDATE: A year and a half later, lots of bumpy rides through the desert, and lots of car washes and this baby is still going strong. I have since moved the controller over to the left side of the steering wheel due to adding PCI race radio and intercom. Everything still functioning perfectly.

Update #2 - here we are 3 years later, still going! Just last weekend I added another amp pushing 2 x 8" kicker coaxials, and a sub to the RZR. Installation was so easy using the RCA outputs on this amp to the inputs on my 2nd amp. I truly believe this is still one of the best affordable setups available for powersports.
