Kenwood Amps any good?

Trying to put together a clean sounding system on a budget. Kenwood amps seem to be in my price range but not sure if they are any good - meaning if they are efficient / reliable. My budget for 2 amps + 2 subs + component speakers is $1,000.00 and i'm also kicking around buying used stuff too. Mainly listen to top 40 music / XL 106.7. Here are the two amps I was looking at - this one for the subs

this one for the components

I am sure he wanted to get some local opinions. I for one dont read the other forums that much.

I dont know any more, but Kenwood used to be pretty good stuff. Lately most of the name brand stuff you can buy is as good if not better than the expensive stuff we used to have 15 years ago.

thanks John!
