Class D KICKER Power
Introducing the newest line of Kicker amplifiers, the IX Series. For the first time ever in Kicker history, they have entered the world of full range Class D technology. The amplifiers have been carefully designed and engineered with the incredible attention to detail, intense research and development, as well as proprietary Kicker components that only Kicker amplifiers are made with. The result is a dependable and highly efficient Class D amplifier that can produce an enormous amount of power. The Kicker IX amplifiers also feature the smallest amp chassis that Kicker has ever manufactured. The compact size enables the amplifier to fit in the smallest compartments of the vehicle. These amps are so small that some installers have been able to put these amplifiers inside of a glove compartment! The amps are so efficient that they are able to run all day long with little current draw and very little heat generated. Even though the heat sink is less then 10" in length, the amps still are barely warm to the touch after hours of intense use. Kicker makes the choice easy. For a high-powered, highly efficient, and compact amplifier, choose the Kicker IX amplifiers.
Full Range Class D mean High Output
The four-channel IX amplifier is a one of a kind. Offering a full range of amplified frequencies across four audio channels. With the installation of this single amplifier, a vehicle can have all four speakers powered with Kicker power. For the Kicker IX500.4 amplifier that means 75 Watts x 4 Channels at 4 ohms, and an impressive 125 Watts x 4 Channels at 2 ohms! No matter what type of after market speakers are installed, the IX amp will provide plenty of clean power. Since the amplifier is bridgeable, it can be configured in 4 channels, 3 channels, or 2 channels. It also features an advanced 12 dB/octave electronic crossover for the finer acoustic tuning. Following Kicker's tradition of high output, each amp exceeds the rated power. That means the 500 Watts RMS is actually more than that. Each amplifier is tested, rated, and given a "birth sheet" in the Kicker factory that listed the tested power. Every amp exceeds the rated power. That just one more reason to choose Kicker!

I am over 40 and have owned several amps over the years. This class D four channel amp is one of the best I have ever owned and is without a doubt the most efficient! Bridgeable down to 2 ch. The heat sink is only 10 inches. You could mount this amp almost anywhere.
It is crystal clear and extremely loud! I will be buying another for my boat very soon.

I have used this reciever for a couple of months now with my polk audio sr 5250 mid-basses and polk db1001 tweeters and I'm very pleased! It delivers great sound quality and have good adjusting-options! And still it does not get any hot, even when playing for hours!

I chose this amp for the limited amount of available space and low current draw I was looking for. I like the ability to stack multiple amps and have them still run cool. I have played it loud for extended periods of time and have never had any hiccups.
