Hey guys!
There is one Kicker kx800.2 amp for sale on ebay. What do you guyz think.
Is it worth bidding for?
Looks impressive to me. Planning to power 2 Kicker subs with it.
Any idea how much its available for in the market?
From what I heard the KX800.2 is made in USA and the new KX850.2 is made in Asia and assembled in USA.
Correct me if I am wrong!

Looks good. What is the price?

kpzen · 1st February 2006, 14:33

The kicker is for 16K + extra charges.....
Navin ji...
Can u please tell me the cost of Jbl CS 60.2 & cs 60.4

navin · 1st February 2006, 14:56

Sam knows JBL products better.

16K for 200W x 2 hmmmm....
Q: what do you need with 200W x 2!

Can make a good subwoofer amp if one got a couple of good 12-15" woofers to use it with. At 16K it is running into competition from amps like the the JBL 300.1.

CS

60.2 - Rs 5990/-
60.4 - Rs 8990/-
300.1 - Rs 9990/-

2 x 300.1 = 20K and 2 x 60.2 = 12K the Kicker fits right in between. Would be a god value if it is new.

The CS 60.2 ...its pumps out 160W in bridged mode right ? Fxaudio site shows it as 2x160? well?

navin · 2nd February 2006, 09:57

if it does dump 160W rms x 2 0.1% dist 20-20k at 4 ohms it is a good option as a sub amp.
