To better help you we will need the following.

What are the model #'s of your qpower and kenwood subs?

What amplifier are you using (Brand and model #)?

Ok.

Do you have a box for the kenwood?

Does the Qpower box have a plug for each sub?

Are you trying to hook all three of those up to the amp?
