Is the Kicker kx800.4 a clean amp.

Yea I'm planning on buying Hertz mlk 165 speakers but just wondering if this amp has clean enough power for it. The specs seem pretty good but still want your guys opinions.

These are the specs for the amp.

You will be happy with the 800.4. I guarantee it, clean and powerful.

One pair? Go ahead and bridge the amplifier, however you should certainly place the settings accordingly.

Those amps are kinda old and I remember them well. Sometimes you'd have one DOA and if you banged on the case hard enough it would light up. Ya, real quality pieces...

They're huge, don't sound particularly good, the processing is terrible, and they cannot take anywhere near the amount of abuse as the old Kicker amps could. If the amp is free - sure, go for it. But I would not pay money for a newer Kicker product of any sort. I have nothing but bad memories from that line of amplifiers and the L5 subs.

I've ran a few of the kx series and never had any problems. I loved my kx400 mono, had that amp a few years and it took alot of abuse for a smaller amp But like anything else, you're always going to have some electronic equipment pop up with having problems. Definitely a nice amp to get for free!

I ran 2 of the 800.2's on 4 12" Premier impp's back in the day. One let out the magic smoke right out of the box, the original and the replacement worked get for year's after that.

I'd think the amp will sound fine. Imho it's prob focused more on being a high power 4ch vs a ho sq 4ch.

Yea I was thinking the same thing but this should do for a while I save for a zed amp or something.
