Palm Sized Power? Kicker PX200.1 200 watt Monoblock Amp Dyno Test


Recommended Posts

Need decent power in a tiny package? Check out this tiny amp by Kicker, the PX200.1 (recently replaced by PXA200.1). Currently the PX200.1 is on closeout at most dealers, so you can pick up one really cheap...exactly what I did! Sized for hiding in almost any small space, housed in a 5" x 3.5" x 2" chassis and rated to deliver 200 watts at 1/2 ohm.

The PX200.1 offers a weather resistant design and has a low-pass crossover select-able either 100 or 250Hz. It also has bass boost, high/low level inputs, auto turn-on and adjustable gain. A single harness provides all connections from power/ground, turn-on, speaker and RCA.

Let's try this mini amp on the Dyno, then build a mini wall of subwoofers to see if it can power them!

So kind of a cool amp, but the .5 ohm part bugs me... what can you wire to it to get at .5 final load that 100 or 160 would actually push. Anything that low powered isn't going to be available in a dual 1 configuration you know? Hell you had 5 subs hooked to it and only got to .8 lol

 

Thanks for testing it! And good call on the 12v test! Way to go!

Thanks bro. Kicker makes 1 ohm DVC 6.5 and 8 in subs, seems to match well with this amp. Otherwise, yeah, it don't make sense

damn.  No matter how much shit people talk about Kicker, i always remember them as a good brand.   Falling 40 watts short on a 2,000 watt amp is a lot more forgivable than it happening on a "200 watt" amp. That is an almost 25% exaggeration. SMH

Oh hell yea, I didn't know they did make those. Haven't looked much at kicker in the past 10 years lol. It all makes sense now. 

 

Keep up the excellent work. Love seeing all the dynos and the commentary is great too!

I was honestly shocked...did not expect Kicker to fall short of rated. They have always been one of the "underrated" brands since WAY back in the day. Seems this issue with overrating amps is becoming commonplace and that's a shame. Well, we have a tool now to keep them in check! Do rated power or be prepared to be called out!!
