design, look, the happiness of seeing the birth sheet saying it puts out more than advertised(always a bonus) and the name to back up the product. you say kicker and everone knows what you are talking about.

wish it was 2 ohm stable in mono

I bought this amp after my old Logic Soundlab amp blew up pushing my 2 Audiobahn ALUM12's. I bought this on open box special at american and i have it running at 3 ohms a channel in stereo and this amp is beatin' loud. Still turning heads and it never over heats. i drove from milwaukee to la crosse about a 3 and a half hour drive pounding the whole time, and it was just warm. not hot, just warm. this is by far not the first amp i have used or heard, but definately one of the better ones. i suggest this amp to anyone that is looking for some beats at a decent price.

Everything. Runs cool and hard.

I wish you could drop it down to 2 ohm mono like the old ZRs. But those didn't have near the features so... Oh and lately my lights have been dimming at idle. That's new though so I think its my battery or alternator.

Well this is a great amp no matter what anyone says. I've been into audio for a good long while now - mostly home audio until now - but earlier this year I bought this amp and 2 CompVR 12s. In my SUV, it shakes everything including myself. I can have the gain all the way up and the bass boost at 12dB and the volume over half on my headunit and its distortion free... although I'm my ears are going to start distorting. This amp never gets hot. It never even gets warm and I've got it way in the back where there is never any AC. And for the price I paid (from an authorized dealer), there is nothing better. (Except maybe for the Kicker XS50 I'm fixing to replace it with.) My birth sheet says 456 watts at 4 ohm mono which is a little low from what I hear but it's more than I was promised. My advice: Go for it.

Well let me just start out by saying that I have had alot of experience in car audio, I installed an 8 track tape player in my first car a 1970 monte carlo and since then I havent looked back. I have always wondered what those car stereos that boom the rap music would sound like with some rock n roll playing. I stopped a young man outside of my house who was playing his car stereo very loud . He seemed to think i wanted him to turn it down . On the contrary I said turn it up, He gave ne a confused look and then when i explained my interest in the eqipment he was happy to oblige . He opened his trunk and showed me this kicker amp the 400.2 and I was very impressed . Then he gave me the bad news the closest dealer was over 200 miles away but luckily he gave me the website where I got the catalog and the guys at stillwater designs were more than happy enopugh to answer all of my questions . I am runnig this amp bridged with 400 watts going to a infinity kappa perfect sub and it sounds awesome . Very impressive.

very futuristic styling

Huge..almost too huge

This is a very nice amplifier for the price it really pushes my square L5 12 incher very well. I can get the rear veiw mirror shaking beyond beleif and the sound is just pure and clean. Birth certificate that came with this amp says 494 watts into a single 4 ohm load . That must be true because the 300 watt amp that this one replaced couldnt make that L5 do half the damage its doing now. Great amp

well it could have been a little smaller

Hello, This product is a very fine peice of equipment. The styling is first rate since I have to mount it to the back seat of my jeep the way it looks is important.enough about the way it looks lets talk about the way it sounds this amp can kick your butt with a nice sub I have it in the jeep and it just sounds awesome the bass never breaks up or becomes all one blurry note just be sure that you dont increase the bass boost too high I have founs about 6db of bass boost is about as high as you can go before things start to sound a bit unnatural. WOnderful job steering me to this wonderful product.

Thanks to the wonderful reviews on this product on this site(and others). I am th eproud owner of this superb amp. As soon as I told my local car dealer what I was interested in, he pointed me right to the kickers. I have used this bad boy for about three months now and have yet to have it overheat and its in the trunk of a black car. I am running to comp vr 15s with it in bridged mode and it slams like a mofo.

very powerful and stable in bridged mode. fan cooling and killer looks. excellent price.

no weaknesses noticed

This amplifier is a wonderful addition to my system. I had a memphis studio 200 that I had to return, due to excessive overheating after only minutes of operation. This amp runs nice and cool and has plenty of power it drives the hell out of my single JL Audio 12w3d4. I have the amp in bridged mode to deliver 400 watts to the sub..and it pounds something wonderful. This is a very powerful amp that sounds deep and clean at very loud levels. It seems to enjoy being punished and is very cool in operation, not getting hot quick at all and since this amp is fan cooled its alot harder to make it shut off due to excessive heat build up. I love this amp and you will too.

Even though this is teh first amp I have ever used, I feel that went the right way by goign with Kicker. I think it is a great amp for the price. Plus I got a deal on it, so in my mind, I got the best of both worlds; a great amp for good price.
