As the best-designed and best-sounding amplifiers KICKER makes, IX-Series Amplifiers are guaranteed to deliver dependable, high-efficiency Class-D power to any mobile audio system. The ground-breaking design results in the smallest chassis ever developed by KICKER engineers. Despite having a heat sink of less than 10 inches long, IX-Series monoblock amplifiers provide plenty of power to a system's subwoofer.

Now with five models – a pair of Class-D subwoofer options, a full-range, Class-D four-channel, a full-range, Class-D hybrid with subwoofer channel and a full-range, Class-D stereo model – they give the user a slew of features any music lover will certainly appreciate, such as a super-small footprint, lesser weight and a stackable design for more fuel efficiency and increased cargo space. IX Amps also utilize FIT™ (Fail-Safe Integration Technology) for significant noise reduction and compatibility with any factory radio, three choices of automatic turn-on modes (remote, DC offset, or signal sense) and the high power efficiency of Class-D technology.

The IX.1 Mono Subwoofer Amplifiers (1000w and 500w respectively, 2 Ohm at 14.4V) use energy-saving Class-D power to create hammering bass in the most sophisticated installations. IX Sub Amps offer a 24dB/octave low-pass electronic crossover and a 24dB/octave, high-pass subsonic filter fixed at 25 hertz. They each have up to +18 decibels of KICKEQ™ bass boost centered at 40 hertz and a mountable remote bass dial for controlling from the dash. Installers and DIY'ers will appreciate the simplicity of all connections located on one end of its small footprint and all user controls at the opposite end.

IX monoblock amps use a boost-converter power supply for the highest sound quality and efficiency. Boost-converter technology allows IX.1 amps to achieve a typical efficiency of more than 90 percent, way more than standard amp power supplies. That, along with the its adaptability to use fewer internal parts, allows for a smaller bass-amp size, the coolest operation, optimum reliability and overall excellent performance.

A new high-power, hybrid IX-Series Multi-Channel Amplifier gives the listener flexibility for system choices. The IX1000.5 Five-Channel Amp with subwoofer section (125 x 4/500 x 1, 2 Ohm at 14.4V) provides full-range, Class-D power from a compact chassis less than a foot wide and can power an entire system. A remote bass control puts the amount of bass at the user's fingertips.

The IX.2 Stereo Amplifier offers energy-saving, full-range Class-D power as well, with up to +18 decibels of boost from a chassis just under 10 inches.

While KICKER amps are always covered by a two-year factory warranty, KICKER will provide an additional one-year extended warranty with the purchase of any KICKER installation kit at the time of the amplifier purchase. Consumers should contact any Authorized KICKER Dealer or log onto www.kicker.com for more information.
