@JasonWW2000 no i ordered dual 1 ohm to have a final load of 2 ohms as the 10k warhorse is not 1 ohm stable

@JasonWW2000 Ай бұрын

Ah, so each output is only 2 ohm rated. Gotcha. If you wire all the left coils in series that would be a 4 ohm load. Then all the right coils in series is 4 ohms. Is that the plan? Since it's 2 ohm stable you could get dual 2 ohm subs and wire the left coils in series parallel and get a 2 ohm load. That would get you more output if you wanted it. (This not taking into account impedance rise which is a whole other thing)

@MattyDaddy14 Ай бұрын

Ok. Just finished watching the power ratings and read some comments… here’s my initial take on this amp… it’s an “end game” car audio subwoofer amp that allows you to change/incorporate many different styles of subwoofers/box setups and also designed to be “end game” for “dummies” (not actual dummies, but for those of us who would rather install ONCE and forget). No clip light sucks, but again, if it’s designed for someone who has a nice newer ride and just wants a competent powerful and clean sounding amp that is probably never going to clip or under power whatever you throw at it, allows one to change out sub setups, and even allows for high level inputs, I think this is a really good solution! 🎉. Yes it’s expensive, but again, if I were selling this amp as a solution to a customer, I would recommend it to someone that just says, “gimme the best most powerful and reliable, cool clean amp for whatever subwoofers I want to add at any point, install it with all the power it needs, and from there on, I can just change out their speakers if they want more or less or whatever”. I’m sure the price will go down, and if so, at $600-$800, I think they could sell a lot of these amps! (Especially considering car audio is like 50% gp margins, lol) 🎉

More than likely the paperwork for each amplifier passes through a machine that stamps them. Another possibility is the passed stamp is pre-printed. Then the paperwork is matched up to the specific amplifier and only the serial number and power is printed on it. When you think about it, there's really no reason for a person to hand stamp each certificate.

In 2008 that kicker amp was 9999 that’s crazy never catch me wasting that much hard earn money on an amp they was smokin when they came out with that price tag

@JasonWW2000 Ай бұрын

It was a low production competition oriented amplifier. It did what it was made for, win SPL competitions.

Oh wow. Kicker has almost caught up to the reset of the Amps. No clip light. The hell.

Great suggestion and I will include in an update video I'm planning showing more tests and more details about the COMP mode

I'm also curious when they're going to release the Warhorse accessories. Wire, fuse blocks, etc...

The fuse blocks look cool, I was hoping they would come with the amp. Maybe by the 1000.4

Should have clipping indicator everyone wants a clip monitor since they have been out ..reason I don't buy certain amps no clip monitor ..you can clip from other things other than gain not set correct

Can you please do a dyno on the kicker cxa1200.1 amp. One kicker did on KZfaq is not doing the amp justice. Thanks

$10,000 for a car audio amp back in 2008 is Crazy! You could buy a Brand New Chevrolet Aveo, Nissan Versa or a Hyundai Accent for that back then.

Really? I kind of like that they're separate. I can put the indicator on the dash and the bass knob in center console.

@@JasonWW2000 just a personal preference. I'd rather have one cable to run than two , one box to mount than two. I'd be fine with it either way though.

why turn the voltage back up to unrealistic levels after you just turned it down?

For around the same price you can get a Sundown SIA 8000 Certified over 10,000 watts at 1 ohm

@wal Ай бұрын

Did you miss the part where the KICKER amps are tested 60 seconds at Full Output power? I don't think the SIA could do this, nor most other brands with an amplifier at this power output. You are paying more for the in house design with durability and reliability built in.

There's no lights on the bass knob. There's two screws and some printed dots to indicate low and high.

@BDauto86 Ай бұрын

Kicker has there entry level gear and they have high end quality products, this is no exception. I guarantee its great amp that will last along time with proper power. The only thing I don't like is the underating, its birth sheet says 4600 why not call it a 4600.

@JasonWW2000 Ай бұрын

The actual power output is going to vary from amp to amp so you have to give it a little headroom just to make sure it will do rated. 4,000-4,200 would probably be a safe bet. I can only speculate on why they chose 3,600. Maybe that's what it would typically do in the real world at slightly lower voltage?

I don't understand your comparison of the Sundown Salt3 in another comment. Compare the full bridge options for price and power.

Whether it's full Bridge or half Bridge it doesn't really affect the price.

@chrstofuchaos Ай бұрын

@@JasonWW2000 it absolutely does. Sundown full bridge 3k is far cheaper than the salt 3k. Theirs a reason full bridge amplifiers like Taramps, Banda, Stetsom, etc. are all less expensive than their Korean made amplifiers.

@JasonWW2000 Ай бұрын

@@chrstofuchaosYes, and I don't know if you understand why those brands are cheaper. I'll give you a hint, it's not because they are full bridge. Lol. And how exactly do you explain all of the very expensive full bridge amplifiers from companies like Alpine, JL Audio, Kicker, Digital Designs, etc...? Also, you're comparing Sundowns top of the line Salt series amplifiers to their entry level SFB. Their cheaper amps being full bridge is just a coincidence. It's actually not the reason it's cheaper.

@chrstofuchaos Ай бұрын

@@JasonWW2000 and if you look at the reference series or half bridge designs by those same brands they are even more expensive. If I remember right JL slash series is the only one in the lineup that uses full bridge technology. And of course they aren't all equal, those brands are using higher end components and larger power supply sections. But to say the SFB amps aren't comparable to the Kicker full bridge design is not accurate. They have very similar topology. It's also not a coincidence that they are cheaper because they are full bridge. The fact is the Korean board's on the Salt amps are older Zenon designs and have more components and are more expensive than the Chinese built SFB amps using an original Soundigital design.

@@chrstofuchaos Now you seem to understand. There's a lot more involved in the price besides whether or not it's full or half bridge. 👍
