It combines amplification and Bluetooth audio streaming in one weather-resistant component, making it useful where installing a conventional receiver is impractical. With four amplified channels, it can power a full speaker system or be configured for bridged two-channel operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 4 ohms, the amplifier delivers 50 watts RMS to each of four channels, with 75 watts RMS per channel available at 2 ohms. Its Class D design provides efficient power delivery in a small chassis measuring under eight inches wide. The adjustable high-pass and low-pass filters help tailor the amplifier for full-range speakers or a mixed speaker-and-subwoofer system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth lets a compatible phone or media device stream directly to the amplifier without a wired RCA source input. The included wired Bluetooth remote provides source control, volume adjustment, track controls, and access to EQ settings. Bluetooth supports A2DP and AVRCP profiles, plus aptX and AAC audio codecs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KAC-M5024BT is engineered for exposed installations where moisture, dust, salt spray, and vibration are concerns. Its sealed cast-aluminum chassis, terminal cover, drain tunnel design, and stainless-steel mounting hardware support use in marine and off-road environments. The main unit is rated for IPX7, IPX6, and IP6X protection and is tested to ASTM B117 salt-spray standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis amplifier is a practical foundation for a compact audio upgrade that does not require a traditional head unit. Its RCA pre-output can feed an additional amplifier or powered subwoofer for future system expansion. A switchable 2-channel or 3\/4-channel output mode and remote-controlled pre-out level provide flexible setup options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour-Channel Class D Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers 50 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Bluetooth Streaming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plays compatible device audio without an RCA source input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeather-Resistant Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e IPX7, IPX6, and IP6X-rated main unit protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Wired Remote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides volume, playback, Bluetooth, and EQ control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable Crossovers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable high-pass and low-pass filtering supports system tuning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRCA Pre-Out Expansion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect an additional amplifier or powered subwoofer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier uses a corrosion-resistant sealed cast-aluminum chassis with a drain tunnel intended to reduce moisture accumulation below the unit. Its one-sided wiring layout, terminal cover, molded strain-relief bushings, and thick die-cast mounting section are intended for organized installation in marine and powersports applications. Stainless-steel self-tapping screws are included for mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall the KAC-M5024BT on a secure surface with ventilation and route its attached power\/ground and speaker-output harnesses safely away from heat, moving parts, and sharp edges. It operates from a 12-volt electrical system with 11 to 16 volts allowable and uses a 40-amp fuse. Connect compatible 2- to 8-ohm speakers, use 4- to 8-ohm loads when bridging channels, and mount the included remote where Bluetooth and playback controls are accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kenwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45633063321670,"sku":"KAC-M5024BT","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/71MGZMXqAqL.jpg?v=1784404439","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/kenwood-kac-m5024bt-4-channel-bluetooth-marine-amplifier","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
