Thread: OMG! Kicker Warhorse!

If you're looking for the biggest, baddest-ass mofo car stereo amplifier you can get, you might want to consider this 10,000-watt Warhorse from Kicker. The WX 10000.1 weighs a hefty 67 pounds, and that 10kW power stream is enough to slam-dunk you and your subwoofers with its highly refined power. You're not going to be able to install this in just any car, though, because it requires eight 12-volt batteries to get the thing going, and you'll also need two 200-amp alternators.

Sheesh. It'll not only break the windows in your car, but maybe every window within 50 feet of where were you're driving as well as the sanity of all those within earshot. Not only will you be first required to drop serious bucks on a car audio system worthy of such power, one of these amps will cost you a buck a watt—$10,000 total. Look at the monster specs of this beast:

yeah thats nice ,,, but you said the biggest baddest mofo amp,, well .. hate to break it to you but here it is... oh but don't take it wrong,, that Kicker is some mad power but they have fallen short on the baddest out there! LOL again.... the Rockford may be a higher price tag but if you really research both amps you'll see the difference ... I've watched them both throw rocks and stones at each other for years now competing back and forth slinging there best around and in the end Rockford has always been able to say they came ,,they saw ,,they kicked butt

**** that 10,000 watts, 15,000 watts, 1000 watts is more then enough for my ears.

stratton.

ya know STRATTON,, your so right .. I removed my ear pounder because it was causing severe hearing promblems (duh).... I for one learned the hard way!!! so far I've been bass free for 1 yr,,



Anyway that much power is insane but I love going to SpringBreak Nationals,, those guys are serious..

OMG! That is crazy!

Well its not really the hard pounding of the bass that hurts ears, its the high pitched tweets that mostly destroys hearing, that and distortion.


But anything that makes your ears ring will do it, just keep it so you can hear it, thats what I do most of the time, these big Mega watts amps just don't get it for me, rather spend money else where.

so true!
