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.

Couldn't Ask For a Better Amp, Very Impressed!

This has been the first car amplifier that I have bought. It does take a lot of abuse. I have it running down at 1 OHM (6 x 4ohm speakers in parallel) and it takes the abuse very nicely. The sound is crystal clear, the functions are also great and easily accessible.

My amp came with a 515W birth certificate. I would buy another Kicker product in a hearth beat. I've had this amp for 3 years now and it's still going strong. I honestly can't thing of any bad things to say about this amp, it just rocks!

Quality Amp

The following review is for a previous version (ZX450.2).

This is a quality amp. This amp puts out a decent amount of power. I bridged it to my dual subs and it hit pretty hard. It definately puts out more than 450 rms. however it is an expensive amp for its power and i would recommend finding a cheaper one that puts out the same power, but it is a very nice amp that has never cut out on me and i have never had any problems with. I love the remote gain control and the knobs on the amp are easy to turn and accessible

Great value and excellent sound

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX450.2).

Pros:
My Kicker amplifier is connected to two ten inch Clif Design sub woofers and the sound quality is great. The amplifier seems to have very consistent power and it does not appear to heat up. I do recommend it for the right applications.
The staff that assisted me were very knowledgeable, courteous, and walked me through every step of the purchasing process. I'm very satisfied with Sonic. ...... hlm

Cons:
I do not have any cons at this time.
