Check this link out http://www.kicker.com/ShowPage.cfm?filename=sxstereo.html&menu=SXAMPS

Here are some specs of these amps. Look at all of these features. Can U believe it, an onboard DSP with a menu feature display? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Fully adjustable digital low-pass crossover with variable slope and crossover frequency.

•Fully adjustable digital high pass crossover with variable slope and crossover frequency.

•Fully adjustable KickEQ™ single-band digital parametric equalizer with variable Q (bandwidth), variable center frequency and variable boost or cut

•Adjustable channel output phase; left and right channels can be linked or independently adjusted.

•UltraMatch Gain Structure™; left and right channels input gain control can be linked or adjusted independently.

•SickBay™ and On-Board Diagnostics tools to troubleshoot installation issues and check amp status.

•Kompressor™ - Four-setting, user-selectable bass compressor to fatten up your sub bass and adjust to compensate for speaker size, speaker location, vehicle size or listening style.

•Low Impedance Operation

•SORT™ Protection Circuitry (Short circuit, Over-voltage, Reverse polarity, Thermal) protects amplifier from accidents and out of spec operation.

•MOSFET Power Supply for high efficiency operation.

•PAST™ (Pre Amp Signal Transfer) RCA output jacks to pass the incoming signal to another amplifier or component.

•SAMS™ (Stereo And Mono Simultaneously) lets you into a bridged mono load and a stereo load at the same time. (Not available on mono amps)

•BLAST Port™ (Bass Level And Signal Transfer) gives you Remote Bass Level Control and control of signal transfer between multiple SX amplifiers.

•Amp Strapping lets you combine two mono amps into a single unit with double the power.

Can't wait to try these out. Not sure when they ship. When they do, I will let everyone know. Or, let me know if someone finds out before me.

that is perhaps the sexiest series of amps i have ever seen in my life. i hope they perform as good as they look, but knowing kicker it will be awesome. one thing i dont like is the fact that i know i wont be able to afford one, not with my budget.

What do you mean the don't deliver more than 1000 watts? The KX1200.1 pushed out more than 1500 watts. My guess is that the SX1250.1 will be around 1550-1600 watts @ 1-ohm and of course doubled @ 2-ohm when strapped. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I might have to look into these to give them a try. As far as the price goes, I am clueless. I would have to guess that it would be a little more than the KX1200.1 because of it being new and it's features. The KX1200.1 was $799.95 retail, so I am hoping that the SX1250.1 will be no more than an extra $100. If so, then I will be down for 2 of them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I meant the amps listed on that page...not the 1200.1.

well I just talked to Polecat, at kicker, and the features are nice, the controls are preety sweet, and they are designed as a step up from the KX series, and the KX series has been a major hit so far, I am looking forward to seeing them

Yeah, I want to get 2 SX1250.1's. I would like to swap out my 12L7s and put 4 10L7s in their. Not sure on what size of ported box I could fit, but I would like to do it by the end of this year. Regardless, I will definitely give these new SX line a try. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What about bandpass filter?
I've been having a heck of a time finding a 4 channel amp with a bandpass filter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
