KX400.1

Small Footprint, Insane Output

KX Amplifiers set the curve for smaller chassis footprints, with the largest model measuring at only 15-1/2 inches long. KICKER amps feature an optimized circuit layout for the most efficient use of components, the smallest footprint and clearest sound quality. Their cosmetic style is sharp as well, with magnetic panels covering control settings and glass fiber-composite end panels for a clean, stealth look that’s even UV-protected.

The highest-grade components and surface-mount technology under the high-mass heat sink allow our amps to perform at a level others fail to reach. Double-sided fiberglass circuit boards, Litz-wound transformers that minimize power loss and maximize transfer, TO218 output devices for high-current switching, buffered RCA outputs on bass amps, angled custom-tooled power connectors – the details make our amplifiers the most reliable, high-performing audio equipment in the industry.


Tuning Options

High-Grade Components, Sleek Tuning Magnetic Door

KX monoblock amps use a Class-D, boost-converter power supply for the highest sound quality and efficiency. Boost-converter technology allows KX.1 amps to achieve a typical efficiency near 80 percent, significantly beyond standard amp power supplies. That, along with the adaptability to use fewer internal parts, allows for a smaller bass-amp size, the coolest operation, optimum reliability and overall excellent performance. Full-range models utilize Class D-IC power, which provides superior efficiency, exceptional sonic performance and the compact size.

An included remote level control provides bass volume from the dash. Users can take advantage of built-in crossovers and adjustable KickEQ processing for dialing in perfect sound, and a variable subsonic filter provides subwoofer protection from potentially damaging lowest frequencies. A three-second turn-on delay eliminates additional interference, red over/under voltage LEDs, and auto-reset protection are some of the other conveniences utilized by dependable KICKER amps.
