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-206 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 then 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.

Kicker FIT Fail Safe Integration Technology

Kicker Fail Safe Technology (FIT):

Kicker has manufactured a new Fail-Safe Integration (FIT) technology into all of their amplifiers. The FIT technology uses isolated differential inputs in order to reject noise or electrical interferences, caused by engines, alternators or any other audio or video component throughout your vehicle. The differential inputs will use a muting circuit that will block out any additional noise that may stream down the line. The FIT technology will help created the cleanest and purest sound possible for any audio system. The Kicker FIT technology is setting the standard for high quality sound.

I got this amp to replace an Audiopipe apsm1300, i had it at 2ohm for 600wrms. My sub is an mb quart pwe354 @2ohms, this sub is 800wrms, so i wanted to give it atleast 1000wrms. I got the kicker, when i first hooked it up it did not even move the sub. I was UPSET! I had to jack the gain to 10 out of 11 to even hear the sub, i knew some subs have a break-in period but not amps... the next day after ensuring everything was hooked up right and having kicker rep say take it back, this thing KICKS!! I looked inside to make sure amp was ok, and it looks goood. I still have amp gain almost maxxed out, but i use the remote bass knob. It blends well with the factory installed boston acoustic system in my 08 dodge caliber, makes that 15" mb sound great. Yes, if you need a thousand watts and need it to be small, get this amp. Period. I thought I might need to replace it with another amp, but I am gonna keep the Kicker.

This amp is unbelievable. Powering a 10" L7 at 4 OHM, the amp does not heat up and pushes plenty of power to my L7. Its real small and for 200 bucks, I am not complaining.

Had this amp for a bit and one day out of no where it went to protect. Couple days later it came back on but when the bass would hit hard it would shut off again. Voltage was good and everything but it would still shutdown.
