This amp has been great in my '99 Ford Taurus. I'm running two 10" Kickers with it and they hit clean and deep. I've never had the amp overheat and love how small it is. I would recommend this amp to everyone.

I love this amp. Lots of power in this little thing. Have it powering a shallow mount kicker 10 and I can't believe the sound. Real nice.

I hooked this amp up to a Kicker 12" Solo Classic Solo Baric subwoofer. Only turned up 50-60 percent and it rocked the speaker !!! Great!!!

Nice small amp. Lots of power. Worth the $$$.

I chose this amp because of room restraints and wanting to try the higher efficiency line to lower my amp load on the vehicle. After having stereos with up to 360 amp loads I didn't feel like making major electrical system upgrades this go 'round. I am pleased with the sound quality and how cool this amp runs. I have always been impressed with Kickers quality and this is another quality piece that I would recomend to anyone.

If you can get it for a good price, I'd definitely recommend this product.

Just installed this amp, powering a 350W RMS Kappa 10 sub in a sealed box. Nice amp, makes the sub really sing, good consistent power, comes with the remote bass boost which is nice. The small footprint was key for me, had a very small spot under a rear seat & it fit. Birthsheet was a little underwhelming at 506 W but initial performance has been very good.

With kicker it has always been the same for me, reliable, hard working and just true bliss. :-)

Sounds good and doesn't overheat.

Admittedly, I'm not a high end audiophile, but I know what I like. When I decided the car stereo needed a bit of an upgrade, I turned to the Kicker line. I was after a nice tight bass, with a good 'kick' and not a lot of that slobbery droning undertone. So I turned to the 500.1 and teamed it with a single Kicker 10" sub. I couldn't be happier! (well I guess I could, but it's not the systems fault). The bass drums on my 80's rock have a punch that makes you think Tommy Lee is right in the back seat mixing up the stix. A lot of the more modern stuff has a great, tight bass thump as well. I can literally feel my chest vibrate and the hair on my arms and head tingles from the 'thump'.

Sadly, I have a whole category of stuff from the 90's through '00s where the loudness wars hit (google it) I like the music, but sonically, it's crap. Even the best system has trouble pulling out a nice dynamic range when it's been obliterated for the sake of a few more $$ in album sales.

My only recommendation - get the remote bass adjust unit, if it's not included! This thing will punch so hard, you probably don't want it all the way up all the time...or maybe you do!

My only quibble - I take off one star for 'features' it might be nice to have a little more adjustment in the crossover setting and possibly a bandpass instead of low pass - though that would be pretty uncommon on a sub amp, bur rolling off the low end might help make a little tighter and punchier bass. Just my .02.

Got this amp on a trade in from my old kicker amp that over heated. Amp pushes my L7 12inch in my ported box with ease.
