i'd dis-agree with "deez283" The KX series are a good looking amp imo, and with the metal shrouds to hide the wiring, u can color code them to anything too, but they did two different series of kx amps (full shrouds and side shrouds) and yeah thats ^ two kx series amps, with the shrouds cut and joined

I still say ugly as Balls.... You can't say the looks of kicker amps didn't go downhill after the SS,XS,ZR lines...

KX amp

SX amp another ugly as sin amp imo..

Then when they looked like real amps and built like tanks..

I agree those old Kickers were beautiful.

I think the trapezoid RF amps from the late 90's were hideous. Odd shaped, pale gray heat sink with goldish colored endcaps that looked like they were off some other amplifier. Hideous.
