This is a great amp. It puts out more power than it is actually rated for. I like how solid this amp is, don't let the size fool you, this thing packs a big punch. Easily one of the best amps i have ever bought. I am powering a Boston Acoustics G3 (which i also bought from sonic) with this amp and i don't have to turn the gain up past half to be loud as hell. This thing doesn't even come close to heating up either. I am sure this amp will take hours of abuse before it even gets close to hot. I would definitely recommend this amp if you are powering anything from 200 to 500 rms. Kicker is simply the way to go.

This is my first amp, i have it powering 2 Kicker CVR 10's. It has no problem running them, doesn't get hot what so ever. About 2 months after the install, i noticed a very low pitch screaming noise coming from it. It is mounted about 4ft away from me and i have very good hearing, but the amp still works just fine and it only happens sometimes. Don't be alarmed because i have a truck that is lifted and the suspension is very stiff and the truck takes a pounding so that might be the problem I'm not sure.

Pros: Mine came from Kicker rated at 485 watts so 85 free watts works for me, very easy to follow hook up.

Cons: None that i know of, just for what i wrote up top but then again it could be because of the truck.

Customer Testimonial

I am so impressed with the quality of service, value and customer support provided by Sonic. In the past I have always purchased from C*********d and felt good about it until I found Sonic. Thanks for the savings on both my new Pioneer AVH 4300 and Rockford Fosgate Prime 1000.
