My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp?

You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.

Power for your complete system

Leave it to Kicker to come up with a smart way to power up your entire system with one compact amp that'll fit in some tight places. The CX600.5 5-channel amplifier sends 40 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers, plus up to 300 watts RMS to your subwoofer. And they don't cut any corners building this amp, using oversized transistors, special transformers, and a heavy-duty heat sink to bring you reliable power that won't fade when you push your system hard.

Plenty of control

High- and low-pass filters sculpt the sound so your speakers and subs can sound their best, while a variable bass boost allows you to add some strong kick to the mix. A fixed subsonic filter protects your sub from inaudible, power-devouring frequencies, and you can use an optional wired remote bass level controller to crank the bass up or down from the front seat. Got some nice component speakers up front? You can bridge the front and rear channels into 2-channel mode to drive them with 150 watts each, and still have 300 watts RMS left for your sub.

Includes hardware for vertical mounting

Hooks in almost anywhere in almost any position

Kicker uses their Fail-Safe Integration Technology (FIT™) to keep this amp's input free from noise or interference, so you'll get a clean signal from almost any system, even a factory radio. Rugged metal end panels provide even more shielding from radiated interference. The CX600.5 also comes with hardware that lets you you mount it vertically, so you can put it in a location that takes up very little floor space and looks ultra-cool.
