are KICKER amps reliable??

I'm trying to decide between kicker amps or alpine amps. I know alpine has a good rep and I remember kicker from 17 years ago and they were good back then but how about now?

I can tell you that they're highly popular across several forums I frequent and it is rare to see a "my Kicker let out the smoke" topic. As a matter of fact, I can't recall one.

That is saying something IMO.

People generally seem pretty willing to jump on the forums and bash a brand because of one isolated problem.

I'm pretty impressed with the ZX's...I've seen them abused far more than I'd put them through and they've done well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Kicker has always made some very solid amps. A little current hungry sometimes lol, but plenty of clean power.

I use a Kicker ZX300.1, and have never had problems with it. They are under-rated, and are built well. My amp has to weigh near 20 lbs., and it is only a 300x1 amp. Good quality, IMO.

Their subs/ amps can take some serious abuse.

Great Brand. Trusted and approved by ProjectPechkin

Kicker makes a nice amp. They are underrated too.

I had a 750.1 with a birth sheet of over 900.

the alpine amps a re good too. just a little pricey

I love my kicker amps. Since I installed my 1000.1; not once has it overheated. I've never even seen it hot to the touch, just warm. Can't say that about the cadence amp I had or the hifonics amps I used to use; they'd all play for about an hour before overheating when pushed. Yeah, they're a little pricey, but they were worth it.

Never used alpine amps so can't really comment on them.
