Kicker CX Series CXA800.1 Monoblock Subwoofer Power Amplifier (46CXA8001)
Deliver serious, continuous low-frequency power to your vehicle's subwoofer stage with the Kicker CX Series CXA800.1 Monoblock Subwoofer Power Amplifier (46CXA8001 / CXA800.1). Engineered with a dedicated high-efficiency Class-D digital switching topology, this monoblock amplifier delivers high current output with low heat generation and minimal current draw from your vehicle's electrical charging system.
Built with an optimized, low-profile extruded aluminum heatsink, the CXA800.1 fits under seats, behind bakkie benches, or in compact boot compartments. It features 1-Ohm load stability, Kicker's advanced FIT2™ (Fail-Safe Integration Technology), an adjustable 24dB/octave subsonic filter, and variable KickEQ™ bass boost to easily integrate into factory OEM systems and aftermarket setups.
Key Features & Benefits:
- High-Efficiency Class-D Digital Circuitry: Operates at high electrical efficiency to convert incoming DC battery current directly into dynamic bass energy with minimal heat dissipation.
- 1-Ohm Impedance Stability: Safely drives 1-Ohm nominal loads, allowing versatile wiring configurations including dual 4-Ohm DVC woofers wired in parallel down to 1 Ohm, or multiple single voice coil subwoofers.
- True Continuous RMS Output: Delivers up to 800 Watts RMS into 1 Ohm (600W RMS @ 2Ω / 300W RMS @ 4Ω) at 14.4V, backed by an individualized Kicker certified birth certificate verifying certified power output exceeding rated specifications.
- FIT2™ (Fail-Safe Integration Technology): Employs differential-balanced inputs to reject electrical alternator whine and ground loop hum, accepting high-level speaker inputs up to 40 volts directly from factory radios without requiring an outboard line output converter (LOC).
- Selectable Automatic Turn-On Modes: Offers three turn-on options—standard +12V remote lead, DC offset, or audio signal sensing—for clean integration into modern factory infotainment systems lacking an aftermarket accessory wire.
- 24dB/Octave Variable Subsonic Filter (10Hz – 40Hz): Steep high-pass filter cuts out power-robbing, sub-audible low frequencies that cause damaging cone over-excursion, which is critical for protecting woofers in vented/ported enclosures.
- KickEQ™ Variable Bass Boost: Provides up to +6dB of centered low-frequency boost at 40Hz to dial in targeted punch and depth for your subwoofer enclosure.
- Remote Bass Level Controller Ready: Compatible with the optional Kicker CXARC wired remote bass knob (sold separately) to allow on-the-fly subwoofer output adjustments from the driver's seat.
- Vertical Mounting Versatility: Can be mounted flat or positioned vertically along an interior panel or trunk wall using Kicker's included vertical mounting hardware brackets to save cargo space.
Ideal Applications:
- Dedicated High-Output Subwoofer Stages: The ideal power unit for driving high-performance subwoofers such as Kicker CompR, CompRT, CompVX, or CompQ series loaded enclosures.
- Dual-Woofer Systems: Effortlessly powers a pair of 10-inch or 12-inch 4-Ohm DVC or 2-Ohm SVC subwoofers wired to a final 1-Ohm load.
- Space-Restricted Bakkies & Hatches: Compact physical footprint allows installation under driver/passenger seats or behind single- and double-cab rear benches.
