Why Choose Kicker Amplifiers:

Kicker Always Exceeds Rated Power

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.

Kicker FIT Fail Safe Integration Technology

Kicker Fail Safe Technology (FIT):

Kicker has manufactured a new Fail-Safe Integration (FIT) technology into all of their amplifiers. The FIT technology uses isolated differential inputs in order to reject noise or electrical interferences, caused by engines, alternators or any other audio or video component throughout your vehicle. The differential inputs will use a muting circuit that will block out any additional noise that may stream down the line. The FIT technology will help created the cleanest and purest sound possible for any audio system. The Kicker FIT technology is setting the standard for high quality sound.

Worth the money

You wont regret this amp it has the all the power it claims and then some. I've had this amp for the past couple of months and i can say that it is the best amp I've bought so far and I've owned hifonics, rockford, and some other assorted ones. I will be buying another one for my car since i have an 18" Fi BTL and that will be a sufficient power supply for it. One thing i also noticed is this amp is very efficient. Even more so than Rockford Fosgate.

great amp

I upgraded from the zx750.1 08 model to this and this definetly has more power. There is no whining noise with this amp. I have it hooked to two CVT 12's in a single cab. I have the gain & the bass boost at half. Btw the Kicker logo lights up as a red circle on the top.

Buy this amp, you won't regret it.

What can I say, Kicker got it all right with this amp. I picked up this amp a few days ago and my assessment is this:

The amp is very small, +1. It stays cool for me, unbelievably cool. After pounding my subs for a long duration it finally got WARM. My amp came with a birth sheet that said 1057 Watts RMS, so i exceeds rated power. The wire inputs and adjustments are well placed and the set screws are all the same size, +1. The sound it produces is very clean bass over a wide range of frequencies, +1. 5 Stars for me. If you have any doubts get rid of them. My truck has never hit this hard and this amp is underrated on everything!! This amp is a complete beast! The adjustments on the top are perfect. Kicker has set the standard this year on their ZXS amps. Thank You Kicker, this was worth every bit of my hard earned money.
