Why Choose Kicker Amplifiers:

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.

Awesome Power!

You can never go wrong with Kicker products. I was suggested by a Sonic Electronix employee to buy this to power my 600W RMS Alpine type R. At first, I was a bit skeptical, seeing as though the wattage is only 500W RMS. I decided I'd give it a shot and I'm glad I did! It pushes my Type R all day long! absolutely love it, great amp!

WOW!

This amp kicks **s! I just installed two of these in two different vehicles, both using Kicker CVR 12's in Kicker ported boxes and they hit hard! Great amp for an excellent price!

Great Amp

I purchased this amp in decmber of 2009. I installed it in my single cab fullsize truck. I connected it to 2 JL Audio 12W1v2-4 subwoofers I also purchased from here. It made my whole truck shake. The clarity, power, and preformance was amazing. It never got hot or went into protection mode and held continuous low tones at loud volumes with ease. About 2.5 years after I got the amp, the bass/gain remote quit working but it still preforms just fine. I never sent it back to have it fixed because it wasnt that big of a deal to me at its age. I now have it connected to 2 kenwood 12" KFC-W3012 in my wifes car and the amp just out preforms any other I have owned. I have recently purchased another kicker amp and i am waiting for it to be shipped. This amp is still working like new exept for the bass/gain controle and its over 3 years old. I would recommend this amplifier to anyone whos looking for Quality, Durability, and Power for Everyday use.

Awesome amp

I have 2 of these amps. One for my 06 expedition punching 2 JL w3's and one for my girlfriends pushing 1 diamond audio D3. I am very impressed with the performance of these amps. The one in my truck get hot, but never turns off. I also have the bass knobs on both amps. Overall very good amp.

best amp ive had

For this 500 watt rms amp this little thing is mean and it will push every bit of 500 watt rms like nothing. I put a meter on it and mine was putting out 550 watt rms a little more than its rated at.

Good Product

The following review is for 11ZX5001, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This amp is powerful and makes my 10" alpine subs sound very good. The bad news is the amp is supposed to have an automatic turn on feature that turns the amp on without having to use a remote turn on wire. This was one of the reasons I bought this particular amp because I didn't want to have to pull my head unit back out to hook up the remote turn on wire. While the amp works good the automatic turn on feature did not work. I had to pull head unit to run wire anyway. I can not give it 5 stars for this reason.

Good enough to not bother to send it back

I am using this amp to power a 12 in, JL Audio W6, 4 ohm DVC. A Sonic Electronix sales rep recommended it to me when i expressed my desire to power one W6. He claimed that Kicker underrates the RMS power of their amps (which I'm sure they do on the site, but they overrate them on the certificate that comes with the amp). The certificate from kicker that came with my amp stated that they tested it at 620 watts of RMS output. Don't get me wrong, the sub plays loud enough for me but it frequently goes into protect mode on deep bass or complicated bass beats with many ups and downs. The JL sub should be much louder so don't buy if you're looking to power a 600 watt sub.

Kicker always underrates there amps, its awesome!

Installed this amp for a friend paired with two 12" Rockford P2's and boy did this amp makes those puppies slam! Birth sheet said 571 rms at 2-ohms, what a deal! Kicker FTW!

Great quality amp.

I bought this amp to replace my old pioneer. What a world of difference. The lows that this amp pushes to my 15 inch comps is incredible. Pioneer has always made good stuff but this kicker put it to shame. Very happy with this amp, prolly gonna stick to kicker for amps.
