if you had to choose, which one would you pick? kicker KX 2500.1 or ZX 2500.1?

I m thinking about picking one up on ebay but I am not sure about which one to get..

Is there any difference between those two?

I suppose KX line is a bit older than the ZX line? so I am assuming I would have a better luck with ZX2500.1?

If so then how does a refurbished ZX2500.1 sounds? I am looking at this amp on ebay..

It is refurbished by Kicker and this seller is an authorized Kicker retailer so?

But I am not sure if I should shell out 550 bucks for a refurbished unit or just wait for a good deal around here that will save me about 100?

Any input would be appreciated, thanks

I'd go for the kx myself......... they've got grills that hide your wiring. either both sides or the whole grill like in the pic

I have to agree KX series looks much better than ZX series, but I am not too worried since I am planning on hiding the amp so it wont be shown or exposed..

So looks does not matter, I want the one with better performance and whatever

He bought a Kicker amp of ebay and bad stuff happened. Not sure if it was a refurb, but it didn't do rated power.

I would not pay that much for a refurb.

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

So am I going to be better off buying an used one from a member around here for a better deal?

I disagree. An amp refurbed from the factory with their warranty is golden.

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

hmm.. but for $550 shipped? and maybe king ranch bought an amp from unauthorized dealer?

if you get a warranty with the refurb then you can get that for 550 and not worry about a sketchy person on here stealing your money but on the other hand if you find someone on here with good rep and lives close to you, you can go and pick it up. Either way the kx I think are still more exspensive then the zx and people argue that it's worth it cause it's 1 ohm stable and does 2500 watts at 1 ohm but if you have the electrical to support the zx then you can run it at 1 ohm and do prolly 3000 watts although it is only rated for 2500 watts at 2 ohms. So I would go with the zx personally. I have one and I love it.
