This amp exceeded my expectations! I have owned a ZX400.1 and this ZX300.1 you can't even tell its less power, they either upgraded this amp or something because its got the power of a 400 or more wattage amp. I powered a kicker l5 12" in a slot ported box and it sounds wonderful! The sub could take more power, such as the ZX500 or a ZX750.1 but this amp is plenty for my ears. Elegant design! It does, however, heat up quite a bit running under 2 ohms, but it never bothers me. And the knobs they should have left on top and sticking out, like the 06ZX models, now they are embedded inside the surface, so you need something flat to adjust, that's the only downside IFF you are coming from a 06 model amp. If this is your first Kicker amp then that last knob part doesn't apply to you.

I bought this product two years ago to power my 10 inch Kicker sub for my truck. It didn't seem to have a lot of power but it sounded pretty good for a little extra bump here and there. I hardly ever used and after two years it just gave out.

Bought this along with KICKER DC12 DUAL 12" 600W Loaded Subwoofers+Enclosure too. This amp was very easy to install, the sound will vibrate your windows! We put our woofer enclosure in the trunk of my Grand Am and put the back seat down (lay forward) flat then mounted the amp directly on the woofer box itself (facing the inside of the car). Everyone is amazed and compliments this set up. Just be careful you're not pulled over for disturbing the peace in your town lol! I've written down and pointed four people to the ebay auctions I bought when they asked me where I picked up my stuff. I highly recommend this as its got such a great sound for a very reasonable price in my opinion.

After having a 1000 watt off brand amp powering my two Comp VT 12" Kickers I knew there was more to gain. Instead of buying a larger 3000 watt off brand amp like my friends I bought this thing. Best idea of my life. After rewiring the subs from 4 to 2 ohms its basically double the beast. The sub is rated at 1200 watts if you use the same method as the other brands so keep that in mind. Also this is perfect for and one or two subs ever. It has actually made my friends nose bleed from all of the decibels. It reached 118 decibels on my sound gauge which is equal to that of a jet plane 20 meters away, yet it still plays with no distortion and to static without the need of a bass reconstruction unit. If i had to describe this amp in one word it would be BAMF.
