Replacement amp.

I bought the Soundstream t6000.1 mono amp first. Got the amp a few days later and ugggg something was wrong. Talked to the team at Sonic Electronix and they got me to send the amp back for testing. Sure thing something was wrong with it. I ended up upgrading to this Kicker CXA1800.1. This amp is a little beast. It is pushing my 2 T5 12" subs like a boss. The amp runs powerful and cool. I am a happy dude. Just want to say thanks to the team at Sonic Electronix. They took care of my problem quick and painlessly. ????????????

BASS!!!!

I recommend this amp. The one o got was on sale and I believe discontinued but the new one is this and more. The kicker is not playing when they make their products, I paired mine with 2 kickers comp r 12's in the ported factory box. Man, I can't say enough about the quality.

No Complaints

Wired it 2 ohm to 4 12" CVR's in a custom box. Loads of power, and great sound. A++ in my book.

This is not what I got it was the 3600

It's great but not a 1800, it's 3600 watts. It should have been, that's what I paid for anyways.

Kicker CXA18001 (43CXA18001)

This is by far the most powerful amplifier I've ever bought...& for good reason, too! I need all 1800 watts to power 2 12" L7S Solo Baric's! And believe me, this amp more than delivers unbelievable chest pounding bass! Had to upgrade all of my power and ground cables but it's been worth it! Highly Highly HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AMP!!

Disappointment

I have two 12in Rockford fosgate T1D2's that are 800 rms a peace 1600 total. I bought this app thinking it's enough wattage to run these Subs and it barely moves my subs. I upgraded my alternator and all my wires and with the big three. And it still barely moves them

Ehhhhhhh

Bought this amp cause I’m a kicker fan and wanted to run 2 cvx 10’a at 2 ohm. Amp says it’s 2 ohm stable. Never had the amp over 50% power and it blew in a year. Sounded good while it lasted but didn’t last long. Sonic is always 5 stars in my book. But this amp a solid 3. My opinion anyways.

Not bad

Had to upgrade from a zx750 to this little monster this 1800.1 is no joke my cvr 12s couldn't handle so now waiting on my l7s 12

Great Value

Great amp. I guess being an older model it’s been discounted. Open box was priced like amps way below it. I found the fault light coming on because I had low voltage. I doubled my wire size and found a bad breaker in with my feeds from caps and extra battery. After that it worked great. It’s offering over 1800 watts rms at 2 ohm with a test sheet certificate in the box. Give it power or go smaller but a 3600 watts peak its a lot of bang for the buck. Sonic has a great price. I feel lucky to have got it and at a nice price.

Kicker CXA18001 (43CXA18001)

This amp has outperformed any amp I have ever owned , I have been doing car audio systems for 31 years and have competed in IASCA sound off competitions. When I first tried the 1200.1 cx I was very impressed so decided to give the 1800.1 a try . I am very glad I did. My 13W7 is hitting harder than ever .

Makes real power

I have had this amp for a while. Wanted to make sure I was happy or not happy with it. It's paired up with a single resilient sounds gold 12" version 1. She bangs. Stays clear and has a smaller foot print compared to other amps of same power. She can get power hungry on a big setup such as mine, so make sure to be feeding it power and have good wire. Mine plays down into the teens and gets windy for a single sub set up. Can't complain one bit.

Kicker CXA1800.1 The One That Got Away

This amp will push anything and everything you connect it to without complaining, it won't even break a sweat. Skar 15? Boom! 2 Dayton Audio RSS315HE-22 12" Reference Series High Excursion Subwoofer 2+2 ohm? BOOM!! 2 kicker Comp VR 10s in a custom box. Yup... but what about all 5 at the same time In a crazy Parallel-Series configuration? BOOM Boom!
