Yep, and nope...

I'd steer clear, personally...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I deal with Ikesound all the time since there only a 10 minute drive from my place, and I never have any issues with them

As for the Kenwood amp Im going to strongly disagree with both haemphyst and Velocity Motors,

I own that amp and it runs my fronts and rears at 2 ohms as for its CEA Ratings it puts out its power it claims at a high THD +10%, ive had all my amps tested by a Audio repair shop here in south florida, its usable 2ohm output with 1% THD is around 140 watts per channel and its 4ohm output at 1% THD is around 80 watts per channel, the bridge sub puts out a hair over 300 watts at 4ohms at 1% THD

Kenwood does not make bad products, you cant be in business for 30+ years making bad products
Do all of there products make the advertised rating? NO, but at only $121 its not to bad of a 2 channel, but if you can get them down to the $70 dollar range, its even better of an amp

Later

Here is a good thread to read if you're going to make a purchase from Ikesound.
