Id love to see 12.5 volts testing on all ur amps ive never owned a car that stated at 14.4 except shortly when first started most usually drop between 13.2 13.8
I bought the CXA400.1 to replace my ZX400.1... I was powering a 10" RF P2 dual 4 ohm on the zx400.1 and purchased a 10" Comp R dual 2 ohm so needed a 1 ohm stable amp and got what I needed for sure. No regrets.
I am about to upgrade to this amp from a 300watt rms dual running 2 ohm on a 10 r type dual 2ohm as well.
Just bought this amp yesterday at Best Buy for the Dark Friday sale. The Certificate reads 495 watts.
Nice 👌
*I have a question I have the same exact amp would it be able to power a Skar Audio Single 12 SDR subwoofer????*
best buy really is the the best buy
Awesome Amp I have one 👍. Very Clean Power!!
*I have the same amp do you know if I can power a 1 12 or 1 10 skar audio SDR single subwoofer??*
Would this amp be suitable to run 2 12" kicker Comp C subs in factory enclosure???
Do I still need to use my lc2i when using a kxa2400.1 is there a bass restoration processor in this amplifier.
Just recently purchased one...... i have two compvr10 is this amp big enuff
What's the best way to hook up this cxa400.1 amp to a kicker TC10 subwoofer peak watts 300 and what's the fine tune settings on the amp for just one sub
Just bought this amp last weekend. What the best amp setting?
Where is the cx 600.1 test please send me the link
Can yiou dyno the kxa400.1 I have 2 I0" lt7 kicker truck boxs. They sound great. But not shure if I'm getting them their optimal power. Jtbc
Update. Great amp however kicker is not transparent about the highpass subsonic integration. It does not accept input signal if you have a stock amplified sound system. Meaning if the radio sends a signal to an external amplifier which then powers the speakers. Will distort badly. An aftermarket setup will fix that issue.
I love these amps! The perfect little work horse for a small woofer setup, or if you don't want to tax your car's electrical system. Small enough to mount virtually anywhere in the vehicle for stealth applications or where space is limited. I can't say enough good things about the entire CX line of amps

@@turbro7185 you shouldn't have any issues, are the coils dual 2 or dual 4 ohm?
@@wadehensley5005 *I'm only asking because these are the specs Skar Audio SDR-12 D2 - 12" Dual 2 Ohm Subwoofer*
Peak Power: 1,200 Watts
RMS Power: 600 Watts
This amp recommends kicker pk8, will that wiring kit be able to handle the 1ohm power load
You're close. The CXA400 in the manual (see the included link) recommended the 8 awg wire. A 4 awg kit is recommended for the CXA800. www.kicker.com/app/manuals/amplifiers/cx/2019_CXA_Mono_Amps.pdf
@@KICKER-AUDIO pk8 which is the 8 awg wire is rated for how many RMS?
This is a good idea to show these. With so many overrated "flea market" amps out there it's good to let people know why some equipment cost a little more.
What would ne the recommended kicker speakers for this amp?
Anything around 200-400
I think the smaller amps should make their power at 2 ohms. It makes more sense for people that already own a 2ohm sub which is the majority. Having to wire subs down to 1ohm to make 450 watts isn't that practical
how much does gain increase watts by? or how does it work, i have a 12 inch 600 watt rms kicker with this 400 watt amp 2 ohms
Here's the physics of it: twice the power = 3 additional dB, which is (technically speaking) twice the volume. The thing is, humans don't perceive 3db as twice the volume. We usually consider 10-12dB increases as double volume, but it's subjective.
Just purchased this amp, what power connectors/ spades do you suggest?
The CK8 kits will work well. They come with terminations: www.kicker.com/CK8
how many volts were u guys using again? i missed it the first ten fucking times you said it
I'm curious as to whether you have any dyno results for my kicker amp I bought over a year ago. I have a CX 600.1. I'm wondering if it meets or exceeds it's rated power.
We bought the amp dyno after the CX600 was discontinued, but yes the amp will make at least rated power at the CEA specs (the industry standard), if not more. In this case, that means at least 600 watts at 2 ohms with 14.4 volts of battery power.
@@KICKER-AUDIO I'm running it with 2 JBL 4 ohm subs seems to drive them OK, but I had doubts about 600 watts.
I also measured my battery/ alternator output with the engine running, and it is between 13.6, and 13.8.
@@ericvillano5729 The dyno has a calibration process built into it to measure THD and clipping, plus you are measuring a single burst at (I believe) 40 hz with that test.
A simpler test would be to grab a volt meter and use ohms law to calculate it on oyur amp. Just be sure to use a test tone. It wont be as accurate, but you can get a ballpark.
You have to realize that in your application, you aren't maintaining proper voltage, not to mention you are using a reactive load (subwoofers) along with music (most likely). It's quite unlikely you are going to see 600RMS. However, that is NOT to say your amp isn't capable of rated power. I'd be more than willing to bet that it is underrated like most Kicker amps and if voltage were able to be maintained, the load was a resistive 2 ohm, and a test time used, it'd easily surpass it's rated output.
As for measuring your amp's output as Kicker recommended, you'd need to be sure your DMM can accurately measure the frequency used and that the output being measured isn't clipping. If not, then the measurement was pointless.
Also, you'd need/want a load on the amp, but playing test tones at moderate to high volume levels is VERY HARSH on the equipment and could cause damage.
Oh, and even if you were to just play a 40Hz test time with the system wired up and measure the output, you won't know what impedance the amp is seeing without using a clamp meter, O-scope, or similar tool to check.
In the end, you either have faith in the companies track record for solid amplifiers or go out and get the needed equipment to properly test the amp, but if doing the later, well, you just as well buy a "better" amp and save yourself the trouble of testing only to find out that A, the amp is capable of rated power under proper conditions and B, in real world usage, you aren't likely to see rated output but once in a blue moon.
Ion know but I got 2 ds 18 on this amp and it sound hell of good !!!!
Could I run a 3rd speaker with this amp
*I have a question I have the same exact amp would it be able to power a Skar Audio Single 12 SDR subwoofer????*
lol your running a pair of 18s on a 400.1 rating to 500 watts what's the minimum watt per 18 🤔
Can you run the cxa 400.1 at 1 ohm safely with no issues?
Yes. The CXA400 is 1 ohm stable. That is also where it produces the most power.
Can I hook up a kicker 500.1 mono amp to a kicker 400.1 amp and if so how many watts it'll put out with both amps together
It is not safe to connect two amplifiers to each other unless they are strappable, which none of the current Kicker amps are. Is that what you wanted to know?
@@KICKER-AUDIO I have a 1200 watt max sub in my truck single cab I had a car and sold it but kept my audio equipment I was wondering instead of getting anouther amp to push the 1200 what sub when I already have 2 amps to make that sub work good until I get the new pair of kicker solo baric 10s X if kicker would ever make them available to where I can have a pair of them 😁
@@johngray2526 First question is what is the RMS of the sub. The max rating is often just a momentary amount of power (think fractions of a second). You cant run a sub on max power all the time without running a very real risk of destroying it.
@@johngray2526 The 10" Solo X will have a 2,000 watt RMS, just FYI. We are anticipating release in the 3rd quarter.
awe bruh it's pose to b 2nd quarter now it's 3rd geez I'm not getting any younger at 55 lol and cool 2000 RMS starting to look like selling off what I have to up grade unless I can bridge my amps together 🤔
Wonder if my old first gen solo baric S10d's would handle being powered by one of these at 1ohm
Can u run the peek power that I see on them cheep amps?
Peak power is technically double RMS. That's all it ever was. RMS is a lot more important of a number to pay attention to. Those huge numbers you see are (if they are even real) under perfect circumstances, and they are made for just a moment. This is what products like the "amp dyno" are designed to do: give you the max power an amp can make - it is measured for just a few tenths of a second. You don't play your system for a few tenths of a second. You play it for hours at a time. Kicker tests their gear for DAYS at a time, under real world conditions. Our gear always makes promised power or more and its arguably the most flexible, reliable product in the industry. That's what we care about.
Anybody know how many amps the fuses are rated at??
50 Amp fuse
I was looking at new Kicker amps. Because I already have a Kicker system with amps, and speakers. But I wanted a bigger amp. And I ran across this on your site. But it says it's only a 1 channel amp. So why does this amp have 2 sets of speaker terminals. I mean it's setup like a 2 channel amp to me. And if it is able to be used as a 2 channel amp. What is the RMS, and peak power when using this amp at 1ohm, 2ohm, and 4ohm while running it 2 channel.
We put in 2 sets of speaker terminals to make wiring easier. Both positive and both negative terminals go to the same place.
@@KICKER-AUDIO Don't see the point. How does having 2 positive, and 2 negative hookups make running anything easier? Regardless, people will only be connecting their sub to one set. And the other two will not be used. That design would only confuse people into thinking they can run more than one sub from the terminal. without running them in series. But thinks for the quick reply. Guess I'll go with the KXA400.2
@@alenwarren9252 you can run more than one sub on one channel... Do some research before you spout off. LMAO
@@Mr_Ruhl apparently my conversation went over your head. I know you can run more than one sub, off a mono amp. But you wire then in in either series or parallel. Which both only require one positive, and one negative terminals. You can't wire 2 or more subs direct to a mono amp. So there is no need for 2 sets of negative, and positive terminals on a mono load amp.
@@alenwarren9252 No, it didn't go over my head. It gives more options for different installs. If you hook up each voice coil to each -\+ on the amp you'll be wiring the coils in parallel with each other.
Say you have woofers on either side of the car, much easier to run the wires to the amplifier instead of all the way across the car to get the two on the same channel.
If people are "confused"about something this simple they probably should be having it installed by a professional.
Can you guys please dyno you 5 channel amps
Can it connect too 2 10s and the 4 door speakers?
No but for a small amp at 1 ohm stable it really pushes one good 12" sub
I got this amp pushing one 12in K9 Rockville and it sound stupid loud for such a little amp and I added a cheap Blaupunkt bass enhancer for my Mexican music and it gets low ..
Thanks 🙏🏽
Can you please do the KXA1200.1 and the KXA2400.1? I am currently running the newest KXA1200.1 @ 1 ohm on an EMF Banhammer 15" and it's impressive for 1200 watts. Will be upgrading next spring to the 2400.1 so would be awesome to see what they are really putting out.
Just FYI, every Kicker amplifier comes with a birthsheet showing what that exact amplifier you're holding in your hands benched. It's real and it's not just some random number they stamp on every paper. Every Kicker amplifier outputs rated power, plus a lil bit.
And does Steve Meade know your using his equipment
Hope so. We bought it.
Steve Meade is a fine legend
is this a class d
With those numbers, the amp can pretty much still make rated power below 14.4v. Of course!
I have that amp. Manual recommends 8awg not 4. I quess that's why it keeps going into protect mode. Smh
12v ?
Fyi, I stopped suggesting your amps till you guys acknowledge that you messed up and raised the input threshold needed to attain the numbers you're claiming the new amps put out. Low level inputs are almost completely useless atm on the new models. I've had several installs where I had to hook up high level inputs in order to get any kind of sound out of your amps. And this applies to all the models up to the new 800.1. Shame too, I sold upwards of 50+ of your amps from my location alone last year. Now I'm having to resort to selling other brands I have in stock until you guys correct this. You just can't hit those numbers with a 4v or 5v low level input signal while running a 4 or 2 ohm load. The low level input + 1ohm load output was decent, but still below last year's models.
Lazaro Rubio what day you kicker?
Shouldn’t that 592 be closer to the 800 watt max advertised on the box
Max numbers don't matter RMS is what matters that's the mistake kicker makes by putting max power on their boxes
That's why my comp R is distorting my shits rated at 514 watts rms
What size Comp R do you have, and what ohm load is it?
Alpahard audio amps are way more impressive and don't break the bank the machette 1600.1 is rated at 1600 rms at 1 ohm at 14 volt only cost ya 250 for the amp.
Power is one factor in amps, but not the only one. How well can it integrate into a system? How clean is the sound quality? How reliable is it? Does it deliver the promised power? How good is the company's customer service? Can it work with start/stop? What features does it have? If it breaks, how long does it take to get fixed?
Watch this full tour of Kicker, then ask one question: how do the other guys stack up? th-cam.com/video/u4MJfPUKVfo/w-d-xo.html
Many people don't want 1600 watts of power, I bought this amp for the 1 ohm factor to run a single Rockford Fosgate T1 S1 12 inch subwoofer, the sub is rated for 600 watts RMS and this amp does a perfect job for what I'm using it for. I would have to upgrade my vans electrical system to run 1600 watts. I very happy with what the amp does and it never lets me down. It has a very small foot print and slip's right under my passenger seat and is bolted to my floor. Great job Kicker.
mine is rated at 512
most vehicles don't have a 14.4 volt system. run it with a voltage that vehicles will actually see like 13.1-13.6
That's the CEA Standard, so that's what we test at. But we can test at other voltages in another video.
Come on man they arent gonna do that... how embarrassing would it be when it made a whopping 140W rms @4 ohm with 13.5V LOL
Seriously Kicker how many people are running a small amp like this at 1ohm?? not many. I was considering buying a cxa 600.1 but after watching this weak sauce demo instead ill get a 500W Alpine amp that makes 350W rms at 4ohm and 550W at 2ohm UNDER 14V for the same price.
@@ROB-kd4nk I have this Amp and a Kicker Comp R10 in a ported box running in a 1 OHM impedance and let me tell you that thing knocks, you can hear me coming down the street and I have this Amp running just under 21volts on the gain. I Have it tuned to just about 80 hertz on the lpf. Good stuff kicker.
@@ROB-kd4nk I was thinking about doing just this thing and kicker is one of the few that can do this on a smaller amp. Run a Dayton Audio Ultimax 10 that has dual VC, each at 2 ohm. Run parallel thats a 1 ohm load. Thanks Kicker for giving us this kind of flexibility!
At idle they run 14.4
Second lol
First... LoL
