How it was Used: Build your car audio system on a firm foundation of power — Kenwood power! Kenwood amplifiers are famous for their rugged, no-nonsense reliability and superior sound quality. Efficient MOSFET power supplies, a built-in cooling fan, and beefy internal components ensure an abundant supply of clean, crisp sound at a great dollar-to-watt value.
The KAC-7252 2-channel amplifier can bring on the bass with plenty of power to drive your subs or component speakers. Use the variable bass boost circuit to add a little extra thump. The bass boost can be controlled by the included wired bass remote, so you can fine tune the system right from the driver's seat!
Looking for the high-end details? The KAC-7252 is a great match for a pair of high-quality component speakers. The variable high- and low-pass filters (50-200 Hz) let you tailor the frequency output to the job at hand.
Speaker-level inputs allow you to hook this amp up to your factory stereo. If you're running multiple amps, the preamp outputs let you daisy-chain another amp, without running extra RCA cables. Gold-plated connectors guard against corrosion that can degrade signal quality over time.

How it was Used: You've filled your iPod with an impressive collection of music. Now you'll want to bring it along with you every time you're on the road. And Kenwood's KCA-iP500 control interface gives you a great way to do it.
The interface powers your iPod and connects it directly to your compatible Kenwood radio. You use your radio's controls to select songs from the iPod's playlists folders, and the information that usually comes up on the iPod screen shows up on your radio's display. You can then store your iPod neatly out of the way, and get to your favorite tracks without taking your eyes off the road. With the KCA-iP500, you'll even be able to play the tracks that you've purchased at the iTunes Music Store.
You'll get the best sound quality possible from this direct connection. And the adapter will even charge your iPod's battery, so your iPod will always be ready to walk around with you.

connects your iPod to a compatible Kenwood in-dash radio
provides power to the iPod
enables direct control of many iPod functions from your Kenwood radio
sends iPod display information to your radio
recharges your iPod's battery

Here is a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z that I bought my senior year of high school (1997-98) and sold it after 2 years to buy the Trans Am.

Wasn't very fast and was all stock including the 305 TPI V8 but that didn't matter because it sure did look good! The car was in such great condition that I actually got more attention in that then I ever did in the Trans Am!
