STILLWATER, OK (02.09.23) – KICKER adds full waterproofing, big power and greater installation flexibility with its new line of PXA-Series Amplifiers. Designed for Powersports but perfect for the trickiest installs, PXA-Series Amps are available for purchase at Authorized KICKER Dealers in-store and online. Soon to be introduced to the world on the KICKER UnMASKED! Live™ streamed show, PXA Amplifiers will retail for $399.99-$999.99 and are also available for purchase online at www.kicker.com.
Completely re-engineered from KICKER’s original Powersports line, PXA-Series Amplifiers are built to withstand the outdoors, ideal for UTVs or other space-challenged, off-road vehicles, and even rod and custom. Sealed bulkhead grommeting, gasketed joints and a waterproof control door allow the entire PXA line to earn both IP661 and IP672 certifications. These independently verified standards ensure every PXA amplifier is totally submersible and impervious to power washes.
Engineered in-house to be the ideal powersports amplifier line, PXA amps are made to get loud on the trails with one-Ohm stable mono outputs (sub channels) and high-efficiency Class-D technology. Trail bosses can choose between 300 or 600 watts of mono power for bass (PXA300.1 and PXA600.1), and then a 400-watt, four-channel PXA for mids and highs (PXA400.4). PXA multi-channel amplifiers deliver the same power at two or four-ohm loads, offering wiring flexibility without sacrificing power. Finally, the PXA1000.5 full-system amplifier delivers up to 1,400 watts of dynamic power3 which includes a subwoofer channel. To control the sub output, an optional CXARC bass-level remote can be added (sold separately). The CXARC remote can also be used with any PXA.1 amplifier.
Perfect for any environment, PXA Amplifiers include no-rust, stainless-steel mounting hardware and a pair of shielded, in-line couplers for power and ground – no soldering or crimping needed. The amplifiers utilize high- or low-level preamp input, variable input gain adjustment and two auto turn-on modes (DC offset or 12-volt trigger).

Evo Series features “best in class” performance envelope, including up to 16.1 mm linear Xmax (Klippel verified) and includes fully CNC machined, extended, magnetic gap technology (twice that of typical shallow-mount subwoofers), and uses slimline, ‘SLX’ cast Aluminum frames, with unique, forced-air cooling vents, which act to exhaust heated-air thru the motor and heavy-duty cast baskets. Available in both single and dual and ‘4 ohm’ models, this array of improvements represents running-changes implemented to the Evo series platform, in Audiomobile’s continuing pursuit to deliver true, “no compromise” drivers.
Additional key features include Aluminum ‘Flux Stabilization Device’ (‘FSD’), “Shorting Ring,” which serves to both significantly lower inductance, reduces Intermodulation distortion and retards heat build-up, to minimize ‘thermal compression.” The composite benefits of this array of advanced driver features, translates to increased output and exceptional power-handling, which is increasingly important, in today’s “1Kw ‘monoblock’ world.”
Class-leading power-handling with exceptional linear-excursion envelope
Large diameter, solid-pole motor design, allows for minimal enclosure depth
Unique motor topology, allows for full-format performance, in “Slimline” design
In addition, the high-performance suspension features a premium 25mm premium SBR rubber surround, plus large diameter 8” flat-spider, with ‘in-line’ lead wires, to allow up to 2-inches of peak to peak excursion provided by this very unique motor topology. This performance is packaged in a very compact 3.95” (99mm) mounting-depth, making the Evo one of the longest excursion, low-profile subwoofers on the market. The MSRP on the Evo 2410 is $450.00 and the Evo 2408 is $350, with enhanced Evo 2.0 versions shipping later this month.
