    This thing packs a punch and it super small to be mounted almost anywhere! Came rated at 878 RMS @ 1 Ohm but I’m Running it with a single 12” L7T 2 ohm hopefully pushing around 600RMS Barley turned over halfway on the amp and paired with the bass knob my system hits perfectly.

    Small terminal areas for insertion of cables

    It works as it should. It’s very simple. It’s basic and bare bones, but gets the job done. This amp fits my needs. I give it 3/5 stars due to the higher price with less features, but mainly: The terminals for the 12v and ground cables are too small for spade and ring terminals. I bought many different spade and ring terminals, and none of them fit in the amplifier’s small, rounded terminals. I ended up having to twist the copper wires into a round shape in order for them to fit in the terminals, which isn’t aesthetically pleasing nor as reliable as spade terminals. 4 gauge cables fit snugly into the amp without spade (crimped) terminals. Basically, there is no extra room for spade or ring terminals.

    Super efficient, compact amp with plenty of power for smaller subs. I have this amp pushing the Kicker 12" low profile down firing sub enclosure, and it is doing a fantastic job giving the sub all the power it needs to sound its best. I love the tiny footprint of Kicker amps compared to their power output. Not many other amps with this much power are even close to this size. It makes it super easy to find an amp that will fit your system and hide away nicely in your car. I also love that this amp comes with two different sets of brackets so you can choose to mount it horizontally or vertically. I chose to mount it vertically to the storage bin flooring behind the seat of my jeep gladiator. This works well to give it air space on the front and back of the amp for a little better heat dissipation. Even after pushing this amp really hard for about an hour, it does not get hot. Warm, but not hot. I do wish that it came with Kicker's usual remote bass knob like they all used to, but that is something that can always be purchased and added later if desired. I spent about 30 minutes trying to fine tune the gain in a sweet spot where I could just use the bass eq settings on my dash to add or remove bass as desired from the sub. My only complaint with that is this also changes the bass profile of the rest of the sound system, which can cause it to get muddy in some spots. I will get the remote later so I don't have to worry about that.

    I got my kicker comp c 10inch sub from junk car (incredibly good condition for where it was found) I looked up which amp would pair perfectly and this was a no brainer. 300 watts at 4 ohms is exactly what my speaker needed. I didnt want a skull shaking system and this pair was just what i wanted, i can finally listen to my favorite somgs in all the dynamic ranges without having to max out my stock speakers. The size of this amp was perfect for my compact car, with the options to install it under the seats or behind the rear seats this was easily concealable with the option for a bass remote this amp was great

    Kicking it with Kicker

    I upgraded to this 800W Kicker amp after there was a mix-up with a 600W Kicker amp that I had purchased and using for 2 years without any issues. The mix-up was related to the sub the 600W amp was paired with. The staff at the Champaign, IL Best Buy for super gracious in resolving the problem by letting me upgrade the 600W Kicker amp to this 800W version at no charge to me. The 600W Kicker amp worked like a champ for 2 years without any problems whatsoever. This newer 800W Kicker amp is significantly more powerful in regards to its total power AND the fact that that it's power rating at 1 ohm is actually stable. All that and the size isn't that much bigger than the original 600W Kicker amp that I had before. This amp kept blowing the Kicker Comp R 12 that we had paired with it, so that's a testament to the legitimate power this thing is putting out. It's actually proof that it's likely putting out even more power than what it says it is. I've now got it properly paired with a more fitting match in the Kicker Comp VX 12. The amp and the sub make beautiful music together-figuratively and literally. Can't go wrong with Kicker, and they continue to innovate and make really great products even greater. Matthew 7:12

    This amp is fantastic. Plenty of power to push 2 kicker comp vr 12's. Amp is small so minimal room required. Sounds fantastic. Bass knob has to be purchased separately. Cant go wrong with this purchase

    Great amplifier at a great price. Compact and efficient amp. I’m using this amp to push two 12” Kicker Solobaric L7S rated at 600 Watts RMS each. The amp’s birth sheet had it rated at 940 RMS, each sub is getting around 470 watts RMS, they hit HARD, for the small setup and amp. Highly recommend.

    Extremely impressed with this little engine that could. It’s definitely worth the $300. I’m using it in my ‘21 Toyota 4Runner with a single Rockford Fosgate P3 12” sub 2ohm dual coil wired to get 1ohm sitting in a Sealed box. This small setup hits hard! Any kind of music from Hiphop Hard Rock or Corridos Perrones. I’ve also seen a review on YT powering 4 Solobaric subs. Like I said. Very impressed. And it fits perfectly under the passenger seat.

    I purchased this unit with a downfiring Kicker box, both being from Best Buy (box was not a right fit for me, but I but that's a story for another time). I decided, however, I to jump to a 1200 watt L7 sub box and has been an exceptional pair. Even when I tuned it wrong, the sub hit with no problems due to the "Wonder Amp" that I purchased. Although my eyebrows were raised, I still didn't feel quite whole so I decided to ADD Another L7 to the ensemble. All I can say is GET THIS AMP! It's handling both sub boxes with roughly 2/3 gain controlled by a remote (for adjustment) and set at around 70 Hertz with NO boost. Only got slightly warm when playing heavy bass tracks. Thought I needed a 1200 watt amp, but the amp is holding it's own and showing out at the same time.

    Replaced an older kicker zx750.1 amp with this. It delivers all the power I need to run my dual dvc kicker cvr 10s and then some. It's about half the size of my last amp and still brings the bass to forefront. I'd highly recommend this product
