Pretty cool that Kicker has their manuals all the way to back then still on the site. In the mean time some companies can't even get specs published for their current products. Guess they have to wait for the cookie cutter to report back... 🍪👨‍🍳

@@MurderousMindstate right.. If i "made" a amp from China.. They told me 50 watts rms.. I'd send it to someone.. If it put 30watts rms.. I'd call it 20 watts rma.. Even if it's rolling of a assembly line they all are not all the same.

Showing how some old school gear runs today is awesome. I was a teenager in 96 and just getting into car audio. I always swore that the older stuff sounded way better and louder than stuff available today. Maybe it's just euphoric recall. If you can get your hands on some Soundstream stuff from the 90's when it was made in Folsom Ca. would be really cool. The Soundstream SPL series subwoofers were always my favorite. Keep up the cool content Big D.

I’m gonna say you’ll hit about 140.3db. Great video! Made me reminisce about my first amps in the early 90’s. I had a couple of Acoustic 380’s with 4 Acoustic 10’s. Wasn’t the greatest but sure beat the brakes if my 6x9’s I had before that. I’m in my 50’s now and still play it loud my 11 yr. old Kenwood 1800 watt amp on my Alpine 12” sub. “If it’s too loud, your too old” and I still can’t visualize when I’ll reach an age where that’s true. Keep it up 👍.

Man takes me back. I remember seeing these and wishing I could buy one. And yeah, the low efficiency of these early class-B's. I remember having a JBL that I was running below its rated impedance in bridged mode. Made a shitload of power but man was it inefficient. The headlights would almost go out on bass hits. Made the car look like a disco going down the road. After I got done using it I opened it up and it looked like Chernobyl inside. Just hot melty plastic in the bottom from the transformer bobbin and lots of black resistors and board traces. Amazingly it still worked despite being grilled into oblivion.

I worked for Rolling Thunder here in Vegas and we were the #1 Kicker dealer in the country so they sent us 2 X100's and 2 X50's to do real world testing on them and that's is where my X100 came from. I had it on 6 Kicker C15's and was tearing up the 0-150 class up and down the west coast. Heck I even have a few Kicker XS 100's in my closet that I was using in the 250-500 watt class back in the day.

Termlab will do around 135 on the windshield, 137 in the kick. 140ish on the Audiocontrol at the windshield 144 in the kick. B&K will be around 132 on the windshield? 134 in the kick.

138.8 db. subs facing up, port toward rear @ 47 hz. Back in 97' did a 129.0 with orion hcca225 and pair of cerwin vega xl12D's in a 91 Grand Prix

I predict 138 Db, that was my best in 1987. A Rockford 50x4 amp driving a Boston Acoustics three way component set and a PP 200 driving four 10" Pyle's in a Chevy van. My first big installation. Good times!

Hey- thanks again for your content. Awesome stuff! I got a lot of those magazines from back then- I saved them to keep an q&a article I was featured in, as a teen, asking questions about band pass boxes. If you want to get some stuff to borrow for your show- let me know. Cheers

I used to have a kicker xs100 in 99' runnin 3 jl 12w3s. That amp was the most amazing things I ever ran. If you can get a hold of one I'd love to see a dyno test on it.

Definitely ol skool was were it was at. I couldn't afford to drive to ISAC comps but A few little local shops got USAC to come do a event. My first amp was a road gear cheapo from Walmart. I loved kicker but don't hate MTX XTANT was my choice. BIG D`s Quad Spl will be 110db depending on how he puts the box in the sequoia. Gj with the vid as always.

Looks like the wires go out the bottom. For example if you had the amp mounted on a false floor you can have an access hole right under that portion of the amp. Looks like you would have to use right angle adapters for the RCA's

Love your content! My first system was 2 12" and 2 15" Mohawks, on a 400w Audiovox amp. sounded qmazing. And got pretty loud. My best was a 151.4. If I had to guess I'd say you are gonna pull the same 151.4.

Looking forward to the XS50 test. I'm guessing it will do a lot more power. I'm going to guess 140.3 dB with the X50S on the quad box

I loved these amps. I had (I think) a zr500 running 4 comp 12s and it was amazing. I currently have a kicker 1000.1 running 2 compR 12s and it sounds great. But something about that old kicker stuff just rubs me the right way.

In the sequoia, 121 db. Lowballing but thinking of cabin gain. My first system was a pioneer 25w x4, 50w x2 bridged at 4 ohms, pushing two audiobahn dub 700 watt 12s... that old pioneer amp blew those subs. No surprise though, audiobahn was all show. Leaned my lesson later, pushing 1200 watts into an immortal awis 12j (rated 2000 rms, quad 2ohm coils) that went up in sweet sweet voice coil smoke
