KICKER CXA8001 Car Audio Class D Amplifier Mono 1600W Peak Sub Amplifier CXA800.1

This thing can take a beating. And for all the settings it’s a pretty cheap amp.

Muy buen amplificador para el tamaño, hace vibrar mis bajos como los gigantes, ampliamente recomendado

I have 3 vehicles with 3 different amp and sub set ups, 1 JL amp and 2 10 inch, 1 Alpine amp and 1 12 inch and finally i put this Kicker with the 12 L7T. Now this kicker amp and sub sound great as far as the quality goes but my Alpine 500watt amp and sub shake my mirrors. The JL has a 1000 watt with 2 10s and is even louder. I felt when the amp first showed up it was very small but came with a certificate that said it tested at 858 watts which should be louder than my Alpine but sadly it is not. It sounds great. No feedback, the sub is great and the sound is very high quality and all, i was just disappointed with the level. Honestly JL is first , Alpine very close second and kicker is third why i gave 3 stars. Good quality sound, deep bass, just don’t pound as loud as a basshead would want. I figured a 800 watt should out pound the Alpine 500 but…. It didn’t.

This amp is absolutely amazing. I bought this amp for my wife’s Nissan Sentra and I have it pushing 1 (2) ohm dvc harmony audio monolith 12” sub wired to 1 ohm in a ported box. I have the amp at its max and it doesn’t even generate that much heat and it pushes a clean 933 watts rms . This amp only draws 80 amps of current and didn’t require a big 3 upgrade I ran direct 4 gauge and have no issues. This amp is literally mountable in any location and any position with no issues. Kicker truly did a great job with this amp and well worth the money.

Excellent quality. Can’t believe how small this amp is yet how powerful. The sound quality is superb. I connected this same speaker with a different amp and it didn’t sound half as good. Just make sure you have a good signal coming in. I had bad signal from my rear speakers. In my convertible the rear speakers are tweeters and the factory amp takes all the bass away. As soon as I hooked up the sound from my door speaker it was night and day difference. Wow. What a difference. Great sound. Deep quality sound on every music I play. Easy to install and tweak. Very happy with this find. Powers this solobaric 12 inch 4ohm perfectly. I don’t want to talk on the phone when I’m the car. Just want to enjoy the wonderful music. Superb quality.
