Kicker CX600.1: Versatile and Reliable




Why Choose Kicker Amplifiers:

CX Amp Vertical Mount

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.

Wow

In this case size doesn't matter. This thing is tiny and packs a punch.

By Luke on June 22, 2014

Excellent!!

I cannot say enough positive things about this amp. I had an extremely limited space for a subwoofer amp and tried this one mostly based on the dimensions. The amp is the exact same dimensions as the CX300.1 so I went with the this one figuring more power is better. I used it with one Kicker Solobaric L7 8" and it was way too much. I decided to have it run two L7 8" and it runs them extremely well. It could easily run larger subs but for me, again, space was limited. The amp never gets hot and sounds like it is much larger than it is. I would highly recommend this amp to anyone.

good amp

this amp is very tiny! like the size of a cheeseburger lol mines certified up to 627 true rms output and it is very powerful. i had two 12" kicker cvrs at a 2 ohm load and it was destroying my car because it was so loud!

VERY impressed.

I Bought this exact same amp at Fry's because I didn't want t wait for the delivery. By the way, mines has a certified 671 RMS output. I have it hooked up to 2 12" Kenwood Excelon Flat Sub woofers, 350 RMS each totaling 700 RMS for both (which means they are under powered) and mannnnnnn do they hit hard! I also have an Epicenter hooked up to the amp. I never owned Kicker products before, because I thought the brand was too over rated lol, I now think different. I'm very impressed!

WOW READ ME!!!

LISTEN, alot of people bash kicker and stillwater designs. I bought this expecting little and got ALOTTTTTT this thing pounds. it only got a tiny bit warm when I went full tilt at 2 ohms for 2 hours straight. It's so clean and loud and puts out alot of power. My birth sheet was 693rms at 2 ohms. Also the ease of the hi level inputs is great just tap a button and boom you switch from low to hi level instanly. If you need 600rms or less buy this right now its worth the money!!!!!

Great Amp!!

Great Amp, pushing one 12 l7 in a ported box. Great for one powerful sub, but will need a bigger amp if you have 2 good subs
