Q: What is the signal-to-noise ratio of this amplifier?
A: This amplifier boasts a 95dB signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring clear and crisp audio output.
Q: What is the total power output of this KICKER amplifier?
A: This KICKER CX-Series Mono amplifier has a total power output of 400 watts RMS.
Q: Does this amplifier use Class D circuitry?
A: Yes, this amplifier utilizes Class D circuitry for efficient and reliable power handling.
A: I wouldn't recommend it. At 4ohm this amp is only pushing 150 watts. I actually had the same set up. I upgraded to a 1ohm set up and it makes a world of difference. Personally, I would recommend the Kicker CX 800.1 amp because, at 4ohms, you will be able to get the full 300watts that your speaker is rated for.
Q: Will this amp power a Kicker 12 inch Pro Comp R wired parallel running 1 ohm
A: I currently have this running a DVC Kicker comp VR 10” as a 1ohm load and per the specs on the amp is 1ohm stable making it safe to run a 1ohm load. The VR has 2 2ohm voice coils so it works well and is a great pairing.

Reliable and dependable
I purchased this unit to go along with a 10” Kicker subwoofer. It works great! Setup is always a challenge for car audio, but in this case the clear instructions helped make it a straightforward process. The amp is easy to adjust with its frequency and loudness adjustments. I have had this unit installed in my 1979 Toyota Corolla a while now and it has never let me down. It provides plenty of power to the subwoofer and allows me to feel the thump of the bass as I drive - even over a loud exhaust system.

Kicker amp and sub
I had this amp installed the other day with the 12’ down firing sub from Kicker. It sounds amazing and delivers great bass. The amp was installed under my front passenger seat and you can’t even notice it’s there. There is a big difference from hearing the demo audio system in the store than from hearing it in my car. I 100% recommend
