Good Amp

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

I've had this Kicker amp powering 2 MTX thunder squares for a couple months now, and this amp is the real thing. No matter how long i have my radio blasting this amp has never gone into protection mode or overheated, I would definitely recommend this amp.

Its Kicker enough said!!!

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

Wow!! Thats all i can say. I had the 750.1 and I thought it was punishing but now i compare that to 6x9's lol. You dont know what bass really feels like till you consider having to use ear plugs when the volume is at 19!! I did the big three upgrade and extra battery with a pair of kicker solo classics all from sonic and i spent maybe $600 total can't beat it. To me Kicker products are top of the line and this amp can take it and does not get hot. If your considering this amp its a purchase well worth investing in. Just remember that amps or like subs if u under power them you wont be happy with them and they wont be happy with you. If you take the time and finances to spend on a good quality amp take time to make sure you send it the power it really need to give you the umph your really lookin for!! LIVIN LOUD!!!

Great amp

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.

kicker amp

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

I have this amp hooked up to two 2008 kicker solobaric L7 12s and it pounds harder than anything ive ever heard and it never kicks off. for the watts kicker is true power and the money this is the best amp u could buy. i recommend this amp if you go with kicker. Kicker is the best.

kicker zx1500.1

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

Great amp, I used this to power my single Kicker Solo-Baric L7 wired at 2-ohms. Earthshaking power! Lives up to its rated RMS power. It does not overheat at all even in an enclosed space with no airflow. Pretty amazing!

Awesome Amp

This amp performs, plain and simple. I've seen others say to use 0 gauge power wire, I say not needed and a waste of money. I am using 2 AWG (the OFC kind, not the CCA type) power wire and ground, with power wire over about 18 feet (with a capacitor) and no issues. This amp is not all that large and does it's job, without getting hot. It does get warm, but not hot.

Dislike

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

I bought two 12" Solo Barics to go with the zx1500.1 but after bumping it continuously it just gave up. I sent it back to kicker to learn it had some drivers burnt out and cost me about $90 parts n labor. I'm still bumping it but since I got it under the seat it might be overheating or maybe kicker amps just suck. Solo baric woofers are champs though!

Best Amp Ever!

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

It is by far the best amp i've ever owned. Extremely clean! Extremely powerful & efficient!
Solidly built, you can tell by how much it weighs. Am falling in love with Kicker all over again. Highly recommend this amp. Birth Sheet with this says 1753watts! So u get more that you pay for.

A MUST have for any subwoofer!!!

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.

Great amplifier will definitely power your L7 Dual 2 Ohm 15s

The following review is for a previous version (11ZX1500.1).

I bought this amp and nothing but great things to say about it, first it comes with a birth sheet certifying that it puts out more watts than what it is rated for, second it looks great and it doesn't over heat at all

my kicker 08zx1500

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

My amp is pushing my Beyma and Kicker speakers with ease. I plan to take pictures of my system that is in my Lincoln navigator. Its better to show that to tell. Seeing is believing. Kicker amps does just that. Kicks butt

Really powerful amplifier

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

This thing chewed up my 12" L7 in a matter of days! (oops). Anyways, it always stayed cold and I have it configured to audio detection which is a little iffy but it's a great way to stay out of the fuse box if you have a stock HU (like myself). Looks great too, the light on the badge is primo. 0 gauge wire has a tough time fitting into the connectors, just fyi. I could buy two L7's with the kind of money I put up for this thing, although it will beyond all doubt outlast them all.

10ZX1500.1 amp.

The following review is for a previous version (10ZX1500.1).

Kickers amps are well built and produce more than they are rated. My birthsheet showed 1647 watts. I am running 4 Kicker CVR 4ohm DVC subs off of it. Set your gains correctly and remember with any high output amplifier you will need proper electrical to support them. Great amp!

Great Product and great value

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

I have the Kicker 08zx1500.1 hooked up to 2 Kicker 12" L7 and it bangs so hard. I love Kicker products and I would recommend this amp to anyone that wants a great system for a good price. Also Sonic Electronix has some pretty good deals on car electronics! I wish I would have found them sooner.

Good Amp

The following review is for a previous version (KX1200.1).

I own one of these. I have it hooked up to 2 kicker L5 15's in a home made box. It really puts out the sound. All around it is a good amp. I have only had one problem with it. I blew it once. I had to have it sent off to kicker to have it repaired. Since ive gotten it back i have had no problems. The price here is alot cheaper than what mine cost. Good Deal.

Awesome Amp!

The following review is for a previous version (KX1200.1).

I have two of these installed in my boat, one each to a Kicker Solobaric 15L7. I'm known around the river as the guy with so much bass in a little boat. These amps have been completely trouble free for two seasons. They flat out rock!

Kicker xzs 1500.1

This amp is definitely worth the $. Bought to push my L7 15 and it does the job well without getting hot. If you get this amp and plan on running it off your current battery or alternator, get a capacitor rated at 1.5 pf or higher.

Great buy.

To much money

The following review is for a previous version (KX1200.1).

my friend owns this amp powering a solo baric L5 and that thing pounds. he got all his stuff from our mall and he spent 1200$ on just AMP,SUB,BOX you can get way better than that from this site. But dont get me wrong his system slams. he has it in a GTI VR6 and the air moves soo much in that car it hurts my ears alot... if you have the money go ahead and buy it but you can get 2x the watts for the same price going HIFONICS.

Reliable

The following review is for a previous version (08ZX1500.1).

I purchased this amp in September 2009 to push my two Kicker 12" CVX's, and it still pounds to this day! I've had no problems at all, no overheating, or cutting out. As long as your installation is correct, you should have no problems what so ever. I'm extremely satisfied with this amp.

This amp is it!!!!

The following review is for a previous version (ZX1500.1).

I bought this amp and hooked it up to my two 15" CVR's and I really can't stay in my truck. I have a pioneer 9800bt that goes to 62 and I can't get the volume past 30. I have the amps gain at about 40% and it's still too loud. My dad ran me away from his house because I shook several of his pictures off his wall and I set off my cousins car alarm from 100 yards away. If you want loud, clean bass; get this amp. If not, stick to something like Sony or something of that nature.

150db club with 1650rms @ 0.66 ohms ????

The following review is for a previous version (KX1200.1).

Best amp ever made for around 1k rms, period. Just get an eq to add voltage and use a bass knob. It's discontinued but these and the smaller ones that looks like this amp are killer. Setting off almost every alarm ????
