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.

My friend has this amp and two other Kicker amps, and wow. This beast is running two MTX T9500 10's. He told me it never gets hot or shuts off. If you have the extra money, buy the end caps, makes it look so clean.

Let me start off by saying that this amp will deliver true POWER! Kicker has always been a favorite of mine and the amount of power on this amp scares me(in a good way). The bass nob it comes with is very useful, any time I need more bass to fill my car, all I do is turn it up a few notches and boom! Another plus is, that the amp has never been close to being warm, it has a great cooling system and can push any subs without a sweat. I would highly recommend getting 0 gauge wire to power this amp, the manual says something like "use kicker power wire for extra performance" but honestly don't worry about it, any 0 gauge will make this amp perform at its peak performance. I know the price is intimidating, but trust me, push your money towards a good amp like kicker, you will be glad you did.
