Kicker Amp

Post by Mercedesbends69 »

I got my 800.2 a few days back and gave it right to a friend to use for now since he has no amp and I put my car away for the winter. When I opened the box it had a post-it note in it that said 1050 on it. I thought it was some kind of inspection number since it came right from Kicker as a refurb. I went back and read the auction I bought it from again and it said that the post-it note inside is from Kicker, and is watt rating. I didn't believe it at first, isn't that a little high?

im assuming that the 800.2 you have is 800 watts rms bridged mono? if so, the amp i believe is rated at 12.5 volts and they tested the amp at what cars actually charge at...between 13.6 and 14.4 volts. the increase in voltage makes the amp more powerful. so it may be possible that the amp is that powerful.

Nice amp! Kicker usually under-rates their amps so its possible... I'm next on your friends list, so when your other friend is done, ship it to me! :D

He should be getting his JBL BP600.1 pretty soon so I'll get my amp back. It's going back in the box and just gonna sit for a while till the weather gets nice again.

lol My buddy got his amp from the auction he won and the kid sent him an 80.4. He had pictures of the 80.4 on there now that I look at it but it's described as a 600.1. He emailed the guy and hasn't heard back from him yet, then he reported it to ebay. He has the guys phone number so he's gonna call him tomorrow afternoon if he doesn't hear back.
