- Maximum Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 1800W x 1 @ 2 Ohms (This is the maximum load the speaker, subwoofer or amp can drive.)
- Amplifier Class: D (An amplifier's mode of operation, specifically the conditions in which its electrical current flows for the duration of an audio signal, determines its class. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to power efficiency, levels of crossover distortion, and overall sound quality.)
- Number Of Channels: 1
- Bass Boost: Variable (Circuitry that boosts the bass response of the amplifier, improving audio reproduction enhancing the sound of low frequencies. Fixed boost means the level of bass response is preset, whereas variable boost allows the user to make adjustments.)
- Bridgeable: false (Bridging an amplifier increases the power it supplies to the speaker(s).)
- Low-Pass Crossover: Variable (Devices with this function allow only audio frequencies below a chosen cut-off frequency to pass through to a speaker or sound system. A device may have a cut-off frequency predetermined by its manufacturer (fixed), multiple cut-off frequency options to choose from (selectable), or have the capability for the frequency to be configured by the user (variable).)
- High-Pass Crossover: None (Devices with this function allow only audio frequencies above a chosen cut-off frequency to pass through to a speaker or sound system. A device may have a cut-off frequency predetermined by its manufacturer (fixed), multiple cut-off frequency options to choose from (selectable), or have the capability for the frequency to be configured by the user (variable).)
- Speaker-Level Inputs: true (Also referred to as high-level inputs. Enables the amplifier to receive a sound signal from another device that does not have RCA, or low-level, inputs.)

- Audio
- Number Of Channels: 1
- Minimum Frequency Response: 25 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 200 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.15 percent (Measurement of the harmonic sound distortion. The lower the percentage, the cleaner the sound.)
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): 95 decibels (The ratio of the desired signal's strength to the level of background noise. A ratio higher than 1:1, which equates to greater than 0 decibels, indicates more signal than noise.)
- Bass Boost: Variable (Circuitry that boosts the bass response of the amplifier, improving audio reproduction enhancing the sound of low frequencies. Fixed boost means the level of bass response is preset, whereas variable boost allows the user to make adjustments.)

Q: This 1800 W kicker amp 1800 W RMS
A: These amps vary in RMS wattage the first one I bought had 1845 RMS. The 2nd one I bought had 1925 RMS. Kicker gives a certificate with each amp quoting the RMS rating for that amp. Each amp is tested individually and certified by kicker with nothing less than 1800 RMS wattage. The average is always above the 1800 RMS. Very good amp with a 3600 watt peak power.
Q: Can this amp push 2 kicker l7 q class 12” or 1
A: The short answer is yes, the Kicker 1800.1 can drive 2 L7 12’s. However the issues you would face are as follows: 1. How do you wire the 2 L7’s ? They are 2 ohms each which means wiring them in parallel would drop the resistance to 1 ohm. The 1800.1 is not listed as stable to 1 ohm . So you are wiring them in series which will keep the resistance at 2 ohms but now you maybe over driving the subs because he amp is rated at 1800 watts rms @ 2 ohms. A possible way around this maybe turning the gain way down to reduce the risk of blowing the subs. 2. Running an amp of the power the 1800.1 has you need to make sure your car’s electrical system can handle it. Maybe a larger alternator and possibly a second battery would keep the rest of the electrical components working smoothly while running that kind of power level from the amp. Again, the short answer is yes wired in series the 1800.1 can support running 2 L7’s but just wanted to give you a couple of areas to be mindful of. Good luck on your system.
Q: Can you run this amp with true 4 gauge wiring
A: no, you need 0 gauge
