Amp With Built In Subwoofer? Kingwood RK-904 Flea Market Special [4K]

Ғылым және технология

Today we look at the Kingwood RK-904 "1000 watt" amplifier I recently found. This is a cheap, Flea Market car audio amplifier designed to rip off the unknowing consumer. Sure, it looks like a Rockford Fosgate amp, but what's inside this beast? Let's take a closer look at the amp and try it on the SMD AD-1 Amplifier Dyno!

I bought a red amp that said 1000 watts max and it did not have a gain control on it and I bought a sub box with 2 15 inch subs with tweeters. I though i had something back then didn't know any better.

    I'm a Kingswood authorized dealer and the reason you got those numbers is because you did not load waste into the flux capacitor at the center of the amp as instructed by the owners manual. also, those two rings were holding dark matter and by moving them not only did you rip a hole in the space time continuum, but you also voided the warranty buddy.

    I haven't been to a flea market in a long time, but please tell me that y'all remember seeing the car audio booth and they had those no-name dual 12s, 10s, and 8s in a box for $50...I had a set of those no-name junk 12s in a box with tweeters built in that a friend of mine gave me because he was genuinely interested in how much power they could handle. I had a Sony Xplod tape deck, Sony 10-disc CD changer, two Kenwood 1500 watt amps, and two JL Audio 15s in my Exploder, and I threw those two 12s on a Kenwood 600 watt monoblock amp that I had and they sounded like shat and blew damn near immediately. My boy went back to the flea market and tried to get his money back...he got thrown out...lmfao

    Back in the day (80s) I never wasted any money on anything but alpine stereos 7164 cassette model and amps which were small but worked for me and it was always money well spent never had any problems. Plus I bought a spectrum analyzer which was special order and took like two or more weeks for delivery and cost about 400 bucks even back then wished I would’ve kept it. But was always upgrading as usual.

Taramps 4 channel amplifiers are compact as is the HD series. I think having someone think this flea market amp is driving 2000 to 3000Watts into a quality subwoofer would be the most fun.
