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.

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 am only running 1 6.5 CompCVT with this and of course it sounds great. Even though it is overkill for this setup I couldn't find a better deal on an amp that had the dimensions I was looking for. There were a few other amps that were the size I needed but they cost more and were less powerful. Amp looks great and has more features than I needed.....WINNING!!!

Small footprint, but very powerful. Have it hooked up to 2 Kicker CVRs wired in parallel. Dual 4 ohm subs wired to 1 ohm. Insane BASS. KICKER DEFINITELY LIVIN LOUD!!! The only con is that the adjustment knobs are on the side. Just a minor inconvenience once the amp is bolted down.

I'm the owner, operator, installer for an installation company. This is an amazing amp, ive yet to sell one to a customer, mainly because i only install remote starts, and alarms, but i installed this in my wifes 04 escalade! Small enough to fit under the driver rear passenger seat, and pounds my 12" alpine type-e, in a hatch back box!
