Our take on the Kicker ZX750.1

If you love bass, you'll love Kicker's ZX mono amplifiers. These high-end amps set the standard for powerful sound, with a distinctive look that'll make your installation stand apart from the crowd.

The ZX750.1 mono subwoofer amp will drive your subs with up to 750 watts of power. No inflated "peak power" ratings here — you can trust that this amp's CEA-2006 compliant rating reflects a true measure of its capabilities. The efficient Class D design draws less current and produces less heat than traditional amps, for reliable operation that won't strain your car's electrical system.

The built-in variable low-pass filter adjusts the amp's output to get the most out of your subwoofer, while a subsonic filter removes the extreme low bass that hampers system efficiency. Use the bass boost control to dial in the exact amount of low-end bump you're looking for, then use the included wired bass level remote control to pump up the volume right from the driver's seat.

Features
Inputs and Outputs

Features

CEA 2006 Compliant: The ZX750.1's power ratings are measured according to the strict standards dictated by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards allow you to accurately compare the rated power output of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even if they come from different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging.

Kicker "Living Loud" Certified Power Certificate: The amplifier comes with a certificate that indicates the total maximum wattage of the particular amplifier, along with the model number, serial number, tested date, and whether the amplifier passed the total harmonic distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, and protection circuit tests.

Speaker-level Input: The high-level input connection is included to allow use with sources that do not have RCA preamp level outputs. Only one type of input signal (speaker-level or line-level) should be used with this amplifier.

Low-pass Filter: The internal low-pass filter can be adjusted from 50 to 200 Hz, and has a slope of 24 dB per octave.

Subsonic Filter: The subsonic filter allows the amplifier to block ultra-low frequencies that your subs can't reproduce, improving the efficiency of your speaker system. The filter is fixed at 25 Hz, and has a slope of 12 dB per octave.

KickEQ Bass Boost: The KickEQ bass boost circuit provides up to 18 dB signal boost at 40Hz.

Remote Bass Level Control: The Remote Bass Level Control lets you adjust the output level of the amplifier from anywhere in the vehicle. When attached to the mounting bracket, the Remote Bass Level Control has the following dimensions: W=2.204", H=1.171", D=2.253" (including the knob).

SORT (Short circuit, Over-voltage, Reverse polarity, Thermal) Protection Circuitry: The SORT protection circuitry guards against accidents and undesired operation. The Power LED on the left side of the amp glows green and the power indicator on top of the amp glows red when the amplifier is connected correctly and SORT has not been engaged. If the red Protection LED illuminates, SORT has been engaged and the amplifier is in protect mode until the problem is resolved.

Inputs and Outputs

Left Side of Amplifier:

  • +12V (power): gold-plated set screw terminal (accepts up to 2 gauge wire)
  • REM (remote turn-on): gold-plated set screw terminal (accepts up to 8 gauge wire)
  • GND (ground): gold-plated screw set terminal (accepts up to 2 gauge wire)
  • Fuse: two 40-amp fuses

Right Side of Amplifier:

  • Speaker Outputs: gold-plated set screw terminals (accepts up to 8 gauge wire)
  • High Level Input: Molex plug input for included harness
  • RCA Input: gold-plated RCA line input jacks
  • RCA Output: gold-plated RCA line input jacks
  • Remote: RJ14 jack for use with supplied Remote Bass Level Control

Awesome amp

Written By Trifone, San Antonio on Thursday, April 16, 2009
 
The amp goes down to 20Hz and the range of 50Hz to 200Hz is for the low pass filter. This is the best amp you can buy for the money and if you can still get it somewhere, DO NOT HESITATE!!!

Kicker ZX750.1

Written By Ced, Huntsville, AL on Thursday, August 14, 2008
 

5/5 for power
3.5/5 for not going below 50hz
3.5/5 for having fixed sub sonic frequency at 25hz
3.5/5 for power @ 4ohm load
5/5 for max current draw (two 40 amp fuses)

This is a very powerful amp. At 900 to 950 max watts it will almost certainly overpower the electrical system in your car. Getting a cap is not the best solution as that is just a band-aid that will soon prove inadequate. A better solution would be to do what is called the BIG 3 upgrade.
1. Run an additional 4ga or lower wire from your battery's (-) post to your car battery's ground location.

2. Run an additional 4ga. or lower wire form the (+) post on your battery to the (+) terminal on your alternator.

3. Run an additional 4ga. or lower wire from the (-) terminal of your alternator to it's original grounding point. This will allow more voltage and current to flow and it just looks cool under the hood. "Just my interpretation of Ohm's Law"

4. If that doesn't do it then it is time for a beefier alternator. Failing to do this in the long term will have an expensive and unnecessary impact on your cars battery, alternator, and Engine.

5. Do the Big 3 upgrade, get a second battery if you like listening while the engine is off, and don't waste money on caps.

Really good but a bad thing!!

Written By Dillon, Riverton, WY on Saturday, August 09, 2008
 
I got this amp today. There are many good things about it. I have it powering 2 infinity reference 1250w. (12''s). If you are after loud bass this is definatly for you. I listen to alot of rap. There is another review talkinga bout the 50-200hz response. Well. 50hz really is very very high. My old infinity 1600a amp was 20hz. Alot of the old notes im used to hearing are not there anymore and it isnt good. it sounds like the bass to songs is just noise, not an actual note.

So.. 5/5 for loudness.
3/5 for actual quality. This amp would be perfect if it had a low range of around 15-20hz instead of 50.

as the other person said DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS.

Superb Power

Written By roadtrip1098, Winslow, ME on Sunday, July 27, 2008
 
This amp is connected to 2 Boston Acoustics G510-44 subs run at 4 ohms total. The Kicker Birth Certificate rated this amplifier at 940 Watts RMS which makes it ideal to run both of the subs. I have the subs mounted in a ported box in the back of my WRX. Even with the seats down and the doors open, the amp was pushing the subs hard enough to flex the rear quarter panels of my car. I recommend running a second battery in any Kicker system or at least a capacitor as the amps are very sensitive to undervoltage. Simply put, if I was looking to do another system I would buy this amp. If I was recommending an amplifier to a friend, it would be this one. I am a relatively lazy person and for me to take the time to write a review should say plenty about it's quality. In order for me to write about something I already own, it has to be amazing.

This amp kicks

Written By Fletch, NC on Saturday, June 14, 2008
 
I have two of these amps actually. One in my 07 Nissan TITAN running 2 10" Infinity Kappa Perfect subs in a sealed box and One in my 06 Nissan Sentra running one 12" sub in a slot ported enclosure. I am not sure which one is louder, but they are both loud and clear. I would recomend this amp to anyone.
