Why Choose Kicker Amplifiers:

Kicker Always Exceeds Rated Power

Kicker Performance Audio has been around since 1980 and has been producing amazing products since then. Kicker’s drive to consistently produce products that not only are great but also push the standards of the car audio industry is very apparent in all series of their amplifiers. All Kicker amplifiers are CEA-2006 Compliant, assuring you are receiving a continuous certified RMS power rating. Kicker will always exceed the rated power because Kicker is notorious for under rating their amplifiers. So really you will be getting more power than you actually pay for, which is not true for other lower end performance amplifiers that generally over rate their amplifiers. Kicker amplifiers will provide a choice of three automatic turn-on modes; remote, DC offset, or signal sense, which make them compatible with any car audio system. Along with their high-density convection heat sink for extreme heat dissipation and high efficiency MOSFET power supply, Kickers amplifiers are great way to go when selecting the perfect amplifier for your car audio system.

The amp is outstanding and the price is unbeatable, after receiving this amp and installed to my cvt 10 the amp blew the sub within one week. Kicker being such a good company replaced it with no problems. Be careful on how high you turn this amp up its powerful for its size.

I have some experience with Kicker products. This is the 5th Kicker amp I've purchased. They always work as advertised, have great output and solid sonic performance. This one is no exception. With 2 10" shallow mount subs, it really lit up the Del Sol! Unfortunately, my son didn't like the car, so now the amp sits, waiting on a custom box for the Scion, but I really like the Kicker products. This amp is no exception! Runs cool, easy to hook up, works as advertised, exactly what I expect from Kicker and Sonic Electronix.
