the collosus is older and uses more current but you will get more power out of it with a proper electrical system. the kicker is a nice piece but the collosus is just built better its really a toss up. the only other thing is you will have more wiring options with the collosus since its a dual monoblock.

edit: about the collosus protection. the protection circuts are there to PROTECT you! there not there to hurt your preformance or anything else like that retarded people tell you. the collosus will play and wont protect on anything it states but if you try to run it at .5 what do you expect u know? everybody these days in the comp scene expect amps to play down at .5 and lower!

yeah i tried it just to see what would happen most good amps should protect out when they get a bad load like that. They do what is stated that they will do, dont expect more than that from them, that show stuff gets broken.

hey extrmndor3, what ohm load are you going to present to the amplifiers?? The kicker is only rated down to a 2ohm load and the collusus is only rated at a 2ohm load when bridged, but each monoblock can run at 1ohm. Both of these amps can run at a lower load, but i wouldn't reccommend it and either company doesnt reccommend it.
