More about the product
The Kicker 46CXA8001 is a monoblock amplifier designed to deliver strong, clean bass for subwoofer systems. Compact and efficient, this amplifier is ideal for those who want reliable low-frequency performance without taking up too much space in the vehicle.
The 46CXA8001 provides up to 800 watts RMS at 1 ohm, making it suitable for powering a single high-performance subwoofer or a pair of smaller subs. Its Class D design ensures efficient power delivery while keeping heat levels low, which helps maintain consistent output during extended listening sessions. This efficiency also reduces strain on the vehicle’s electrical system.
The amplifier includes a variable low-pass crossover for precise tuning of bass frequencies, allowing users to match the output to their subwoofer and system configuration. A built-in 24dB subsonic filter protects the subwoofer from damaging ultra-low frequencies, while KickEQ™ variable bass boost adds up to 6dB of extra punch when needed. These features provide flexibility for different music styles and listening preferences.
Connectivity is straightforward with high-level and low-level inputs, making the amplifier compatible with both factory and aftermarket head units. It also supports Kicker’s optional CXARC remote bass control, which allows easy adjustment of bass levels from the front seat.
The compact chassis features a sleek black finish with Kicker branding and a clean layout for simple installation. All connections are located on one side for a neat and organised setup. Advanced protection circuits guard against thermal overload, short circuits, and other potential issues, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
While the 46CXA8001 offers strong bass performance, it is designed exclusively for subwoofer applications and does not power full-range speakers. It suits mid-level builds where clean, controlled bass is the goal. Compared to smaller monoblock amplifiers, it provides more headroom and flexibility, but it requires proper wiring and a capable electrical system for best results.
