I love my JVC head unit I bought for my car. My boyfriend told me to check out this site and it had the best prices for the best headunits I could find anywhere. I'll be making sure go buy my sub and amps from Sonic Electronix because this headunit is coming with me. Thank you all!

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 two-channel IX amplifier is a one of a kind. Offering a full range of amplified frequencies across two audio channels. With the installation of this single amplifier, a vehicle can have two speakers or a subwoofer powered with Kicker power. For the Kicker IX500.2 amplifier that means 150 Watts x 2 Channels at 4 ohms, and an impressive 250 Watts x 2 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 2 channels, or monoblock operation. 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!

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 have the ix.500.2 hooked up to two sets of kicker qs 6.5" in my doors and a pillars and I have never heard anything clearer and accurate. Yes I've heard all the other "top" brands. The ix amps are built with extreme quality and make a lot of power. Couldn't ask for more!!!
