Kenwood eXcelon XR1001-1 1000-Watt Class D Mono Subwoofer Amplifier

The Kenwood eXcelon XR1001-1 is a high-output Class D mono amplifier built for buyers who want serious subwoofer power without giving up installation flexibility. Its compact eXcelon chassis is designed to fit tighter vehicle spaces while still delivering the clean, controlled bass output needed for stronger aftermarket subwoofer systems.

This amplifier is rated at 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms and 1000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms, making it a strong fit for dedicated subwoofer duty in daily-driven systems, stealth installs, and factory-integration builds that need real mono power. Kenwood also equips it with a variable low-pass filter, infrasonic filter, bass boost, speaker-level inputs, signal-sensing turn-on, cooling fan, and included wired remote bass control.
