Default Anybody got a Kicker 700.5?

I was looking at the specs on this amp and though it might be a nice "do everything amp". I have some questions about the specs though and wanted to see if anybody was running it.

Lars, 4 years ago, Kicker amps were really good. I have used them last year and the sound quality is not there.
It's just my 0.02$

That is pretty much the response I got on the SoundDomain forum. You can bridge the front 4 channels of this amp to get 125 watts per channel and still have 400 watts to the sub. However, when you bridge the front channels, the THD goes to .4%. :eek: That is simply unacceptable.

I won't be recommending kicker amps anytime soon. I am still very impressed with my L5 subs though. As long as you cross them at 80Hz and below, they sound very very good. Anything above that and they get way too boomy.

I'm back to 3 subs for daily drives. I use my steathbox for when I go on trips for more room in the trunk.



:D
