Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sound if you want to add more power to your stock head unit. It may be a little complicated to install but its worth it!

Checking this amp our for the first time, I was skeptical. It’s so light. It’s class D. It doesn’t require you to run 0 gauge welding cables from your battery. Frankly, it looked like something I would get from K-Mart. How wrong I was. This thing is musical. It’s powerful. It blows the doors off my truck while staying cool as a cucumber. Granted, you MUST run the DSP setup. Without it, it’s a nice amp. After running the DSP, which is trivial, this little gem will make you swoon. Buy it. Now.

I've never installed stereo equipment in a vehicle. This seemed to be what I needed to boost my aftermarket speakers in my 2020 Nissan Frontier. A 20-minute YouTube video and ordering the wiring harness off plugnplaykits.com and had it installed and calibrated in less than an hour. Fit right behind the stereo in the dash so you don't even see it. I thought the aftermarket speakers were nice before, but now it sounds phenomenal. I had thought about getting a sub, but this got all the bass I needed from the 6x9 and 6.5s. Highly recommend if you'd in the market.

This amp is awesome! I will admit, I was skeptical… my car had a 6 channel system and this amp is only 4 ohm stable so it took a little extra effort to separate the channels from the front stage of my Camry, but it was well worth it. The sound quality is amazing, when I first heard the amp pre- dsp I wasn’t that impressed. Take your time and follow the process and make sure you put the mic where you ears will be. It’s running two 6x9 3 way infinity kappas and two 6.5 midbass in the rear doors. If you’re on the fence, buy this amp! Highly impressed.

So far so good! The DSP sounds great and seems to have plenty of power. It was easy to set up and auto tune. I didn’t really like the small gauge twin power and ground but see no real issue with it. I paired this with the matching Key 500.1 My only negative is not even related to the amp but I purchased it open box “excellent” condition. Everything seemed to be as it should but there was some noticeable scratches on it. I probably would have still purchased I I known about them just to save a few$.

This amp is AMAZING! I originally upgraded my 2016 Tahoe factory speakers with JL Audio C1's and was happy with how it sounded but knew I still had the ability to improve if I added an amp. I searched for weeks and decided to buy this one because of the built-in DSP. The set up is very easy once it's installed, and the microphone that listens to the speakers during audio setup is like magic. My music is perfectly EQ'ed and has twice the volume. The setup takes less than 7 minutes and it's all done with a click of the microphone that comes with it. I'd recommend getting the Key 500W for your sub, if you have one. It also has built in DSP and will pair with your 200W amp for concert quality sound!

This is my seconded kicker key amp. I have one in both of my vehicles and have been very impressed with it. These are small enough that I was able to hide it in the dash behind the glovebox. It is easy to hook up and if you have any trouble Kicker support has been good to work with.

Amp provides more than enough power to my 6 speaker system on my Ram 1500. Upgraded factory speakers to Infinity. No need for a dsp. Bought harness from Net Audio that plugs under the driver seat that runs speaker and high level input to the amp. Need to run power to the battery and fuse.

This tiny little amp is pretty much a bargain for what you get. If you're trying to upgrade your factory system with aftermarket speakers, giving them more power than provided by the head unit makes all the difference. The 50W RMS provided by this amp is more than enough power for most component and co-axial speakers. Add in the automated DSP with one-touch setup, and the Kicker becomes a no-brainer. I used this in a 2008 MINI Cooper S, which has a very basic stock stereo. I upgraded the speakers with 6.5" JBL GTO components at the front, and 6x9 Infinity Reference in the rear (basically the same thing as GTOs, as they are made by the same company). The speakers were decent, but adding the amp made a world of difference to how they sound. The clarity is greatly improved, and it is seriously impressive the bass they can kick out now. The auto DSP is pretty simple to setup. The first try failed, but turning up the volume a bit more solved it and it completed happily on the second try. To be honest, I didn't notice a huge difference in the tone of the sound with the DSP activated, but I did notice a large difference in the front sound stage. The time delay definitely helps raise the stage up, and center it for the driver. I'm not sure there's a better or even really a comparable product at this price point. If you want a mini 4-channel amp, I'm not sure there's a good reason to pick anything other than this one.

This amplifier works reasonably well and is in a very small footprint, it was easy to find a place to install it.

Looks cam be deceiving! If you are looking to upgrade your sound start with this amp prior to upgrading your speakers. I have nothad any trouble with this amp since install. The instructions were clear and set up was pretty easy.

Tiny machine great power. Set up was easy. Love the ease of use

what can I say kicker is the best in the game no questions asked

Great amplifier. Sound quality is excellent and really good value.

Works great !! Even have an app you can download to get tuned perfectly!!

I bought this amp to power the front stage in my F150. I'd previously had subwoofers + amp and the door/pillar speakers replaced. The guys at the audio shop ensured me the head unit would be fine driving the door speakers even though I had reservations from many years of car audio. The head unit did work and it sounded pretty good but the door speakers couldn't keep up with the subs so I wasn't able to use any of it to it's potential. I installed the Key in bi-amp mode powering the front door speakers and pillar tweeters. I left the rear doors powered by the head unit. Wow, what a difference! The size of the amp defies it's performance even though I'd seen videos of people measuring it at 50W a channel. It's also very clean. I can turn it all the way up and the sound is clear, non-fatiguing, and doesn't sound as loud as it is. It also solved other problems with the F150 like the head unit output turn-on. Normally Fuse 23 is tapped as remote turn on but it only works when the ignition is in the ON position. It switches the remote turn on to powered output to use as remote turn on which I did to turn on the sub amplifier.

I bought this Kicker amp to replace a blown amp in my car. I bought it over 2 years ago and have never had a problem with it. I would gladly buy it again

Great sound, easy installation, perhaps not as potent as a full size amplifier but the DSP makes up for that. Great mini amp if you don’t have room for a full size amp.

Works great easy to use dsp the amp clearly out performs its rated specs

Very nice. Small, easy to tuck away yet it gives the punch needed to the speakers. 100% recommend!!!
