Kicker Compact 500W Mono Amplifier (42PXA5001)
The wonder amp
Yes, ladies and gents, the Kicker's 42PXA500.1 mono amplifier is a 500-watt powerhouse that's no bigger than a brick. That's right, it's astonishingly small, which means you can get creative and stash it in nearly any nook or cranny in your car. And at that size, we bet you could find a place for it on your ATV or boat too. Kicker designed this mono amp for you open-air easy riders, with a weather-resistant enclosure, no-rust mounting hardware, a single Molex plug for all wiring, noise-killing circuitry, and plenty of power to combat wind and road noise.
