Are Kicker Amps Any Good?

Kicker amps are a good choice for your car. You may have heard that they are a very underrated amp, and that is true. Most people who buy Kicker amps enjoy the clean sound, excellent performance and are usually surprised about how much amp they end up with for the money.

Benefits

  • Kicker amps produce a clean sound with very little noise. Many people who own them say they have no problems with installation. The amps are able to put out a large amount of sound for extended periods of time. They have a modern look and an affordable price.

Features

  • Kicker amps are known for their power that surpasses the ratings and delivers performance. They can operate a 2 ohms without overheating, for many hours, and run the highest end stereo systems, producing a brilliant sound. Another advantage is their compact size; they can be installed in small cars, in tight spaces. They are also extremely versatile, and can be used in different systems.

Installation

  • Kicker also includes everything you need to install the amp. All the components come with the amp. The only thing you will need is custom parts and various kits for installations that are atypical. If desired, you can connect two Kicker amps and combine their power for really loud, pounding bass.

Speaker Powering

  • Kicker amps can power the best speakers and subs on the market, like Eclipse and others. In fact, a single Kicker has so much power, it can easily run several sub woofers at once without any problem. A single 600-watt kicker is often used to run three 800-watt subs (max 400 watts rms), and produces an excellent bump. This is because the power rating on the amp is actually a little understated. A Kicker amp is a good choice for sub woofers that demand a lot of power as well.

Function

  • Perhaps the best part about a Kicker is that it never gets hot. Some amps produce heat when they are run at 2 Ohms or higher, for a long time. Kicker can run like this and still keep cool, a big concern in a car. They also have a solid range, which means they can play hard bass for an extended period of time and still keep their cool.
