Kicker PXA500.1 Amplifier

Real-World Open-Air Sound

The sound output is undeniably KICKER. PXA Amps take into account real-world, open-air listening in powersports applications, smartly directing precious power where it succeeds - in the 40-to-250-hertz frequency range where a biker or rider can truly hear and feel it in the open air. It also contains a differential audio circuit that reduces engine noise in the audio system for low T.H.D. (total harmonic distortion) and superb clarity at high volumes.

Kicker PXA500.1 Amplifier

Easy Install Anywhere

PXA-Series Amps are specifically designed for motorsports use with small battery/charging systems, and in an incredibly small footprint that can be installed in motorcycle saddle bags or fairings, glove compartments and other previously unusable spaces. No-rust, stainless-steel mounting hardware and a single Molex plug containing all wiring connections makes for easy installation into any application.

A little BEAST!!!

Tiny size and absolutely all of 500W RMS plus some. Though I'm using it in a car, I'm sure it would have no problem in the fairing of a bike.

great amp!

Nice and compact weatherproof unit. Was able to mount it in a tight space as a sub amp. This amp pushes my kicker rt10 sub hard! Sound is awesome. Will be adding the same amp to my wife's system. Should have bought it long ago.
