    Quality of kicker zx amplifiers

    For those who have experience with Kicker ZX amplifiers, what is your take on the quality, reliability and most of all the sound from their amplifiers? Are they built well and sound good and produce non-colored sound.

    Re: Quality of kicker zx amplifiers

    Best thing that has ever been shipped to my front door (zx2500.1) 2011 model!
    Love the looks and was a big jump in quality and price tag from my hifonics brz amp!

    But that's just my take

    Have owned a little zx400.1 a while back and still one of my favorite amps to date. Very solid.

    I liked the mono blocks I didn't care for the zx in the multi channel amplifiers for full range , there well built I just thought they colored the sound too much for my taste

    I'm running the kx2500 if they're anything alike (Which i think they are similar)than they are great amps. Powerful, sound great and this thing takes a beating and never ever even gets warm.

    They don't hold a candle to the old KX/SX series amps, but still quality amps that put out great amounts of un-distorted power.

    How do they differ from the KX/SX series? I know the KX/SX series have fans on them.

    I haven't got to hear the new one's so i won't know but mine is impressive i was pleasantly surprised. I hammer on it and won't even get warm and the sound is great.

    Good info! I've been debating a new amp lately and never knew how the kickers really are. I like underrated clean power.
