Hey, has anyone ever owned this amp or does anyone know how good it is?? its rated at 600 wrms at 2 ohms. I know kicker is supposed to be pretty good quality stuff. and how about the Alpine MRD-M605, it has similar specs, but i hear that a kicker amp with similar specs would be way better than an alpine. Im thinkin about gettin one of these amps.

 

I ran one for a few months a year back in my old setup. For what I paid for it, I was very impressed. I think most of them bench at about 10% over rated power. What kind of sub are you planning to use?

 

Those 600.1's are nearly bulletproof. Most of the birth sheets I've seen are 730-750 RMS. Pretty clean running amps. You'd probably be happy with it.
The Alpine is also a nice amplifier, but I don't think you can strap them If you want to. That may not be an issue.

Im gonna be running 2 12" pioneer ts-w306 subs

 

Here's a suggestion, Use 2-ts w306 dvc(dual 4ohm voice coil subs) and for the price of the kicker amp, get 2- Pioneer GMD-510m class D mono amps. Each one is rated at 600 watts @ 2ohms rms( I've owned it and it is a great amp). Check it out.

 

I just bought an Alpine 1005 and it is a great amp,no experience with the Kicker though!

 

The KX600.1 is a very well built, reliable amplifier. Like Bootleg said, the birth certificates are usually @ the 730-750 wrms range. You can run them down to 1 ohm for a while (not recommended though) but as soon as you bump once or twice with the MRDM605 or MRDM1005 Alpine amps they shut down (they run all day at 2 ohm).

I find the dials on the KX600.1 very smooth and precise with very little play in them. They don't vibrate loose and with the removeable end caps it allows for a clean install with the opportunity of color matching the caps to your install theme.

PS. They are also strappable with only the need of a mini plug.

 

thanks a lot man, sounds like you really know your stuff

 

what's the going price of a KX600?
