Putting premium back on topIts an increasingly common problem. You cant replace your vehicles premium factory radio, but the premium factory amplifier isnt powerful enough for you. Furthermore, the factory amp gets digital information from the vehicles databus and replacing the amp would mean youd lose all audio control, like volume and balance, as well as other features like steering wheel controls, audible navigation alerts, warning chimes, and Bluetooth® connection. Replacing the factory amp with Kenwoods Excelon P-XR600-6DSP amplifier along with its included iDatalink Maestro amp replacement module adds a huge amount of power and tuning ability to your system while retaining all of the vehicles audio and communication functions.The Maestro AR connectionThe iDatalink Maestro AR module uses a vehicle-specific T-harness (not included) plugged into the factory radio harness to provide a clean audio signal for the P-XR600-6DSP amplifier. In addition, it supplies the specific control signals that retain your vehicles factory audio functions and notifications. This method of connection results in a much cleaner output than the usual method of summing factory amplified signals together, processing and removing amp noise, and re-amplifying the signal for the speakers. Standard connection harness includedIf you want to use the amp with an aftermarket receiver, the amplifier also comes with a universal input harness, so you can hook it up with standard RCA connections without using the Maestro AR interface.PowerThis Kenwood Excelon amp will add clarity and punch to your audio, as it powers each speaker with up to 75 watts RMS. Or, in order to power a complete system, the amp can drive four speakers with Channels 1-4, while it sends 200 watts RMS to your subwoofer from channels 5-6 in bridged mode. Even better, the P-XR600-6DSP can be set up to actively power your front tweeters, front midrange drivers, rear full range speakers, and provide processed signals for a separate, more powerful subwoofer amplifier. The P-XR600-6DSP can fit in many different places in your car because of its incredibly low profile — its only 2 tall.Digital signal processingYou wont find any knobs or buttons on the P-XR600-6DSP as all the controls are software-based and accessible only by way of your iPhone or Android device. Kenwoods DSP control app lets you route signals to where you want them to go, apply and adjust high- and low-pass filters, and set the time-alignment of each speaker so the stereo image will sit centered on the driver seat. You can adjust the tone to perfection with the onboard 13-band graphic and 3-band parametric equalizers.Two tweak-ability modesHaving so much control over so many audio parameters might get confusing, especially for someone who likes to adjust the sound while driving. Instead of risking the loss of a perfect tuning by touching the wrong control on your phone, you can put the P-XR600-6DSP in User Mode and limit the remote control to selecting EQ and time-alignment presets and adjusting the subwoofer volume.
