Kicker ZR360 or KX400
Which is a better amp? The Kicker ZR360 or the KX400? Also, what is the difference between the KX400.1 and KX400.2? BTW, this amp will be pushing a 12 inch Kicker Solobaric L7. Thanks for the help. Also, are the speakers in my door 5 1/4 or 6 1/2?

OK. You asked a lot there... The ZR360 is a much older amp than the KX400. I'm not familiar with thei specs so you can check those for yourself at www.kicker.com. As for which one to use, you need to make sure the sub has the correct DVC configuration that will get the max power from the amp. In other words, if you have a dual 2 ohm sub, then you want the amp to max power at either 4 ohms or 1 ohms. If the sub is a dual 4 ohm L7, then you want the amp to max power at 2 ohms.
As for the front speakers, I'm assuming you have a 96-00 Civic based on your pic in the sig. The stock size is 6.5", but aftermarket 6.5" speakers usually have much larger magnets and will need a little modification for it to fit.

The Kicker ZR360 will do about 575 watts @ 4 ohms MOno and about 700 watts @ 2 Ohms Mono...I should know as I have 2 of them!
Very nice amps, just make sure you get a subwoofer crossover module or have a SUB out from your head unit!

Hmm... Since this thread is back up top, I'll have to give me opinion about Kicker amps, atleast he ZR ones.
They're too big and too heavy compared to other mid-range quality amps. They get very hot as well. I used to have a couple ZR240's and a ZX460. I didn't like them at all for the reasons I stated above.

However, the amplifier is TOP NOTCH when it comes to POWER and DURABILITY + you get customizable Modules for your application which negates the use of an outboard crossover.
Just a thought!

What are some good quality amps that you would recommend that aren't as big or heavy as the Kicker amps?
