CT Sounds CT-2000.1D Monoblock Amp vs Kicker CXA400.1T

Buy the CT-2000.1D if you need big subwoofer power: it is 1-ohm stable and rated at 2000W RMS at 1 ohm, 1200W at 2 ohm and 650W at 4 ohm, with LPF, subsonic filter and bass boost. The Kicker CXA400.1T is a smaller 400W RMS monoblock with preamp outputs and a compact, vertically mountable chassis. CT Sounds owners report it hits hard and meets its CEA ratings, but a few amps arrived damaged in shipping. The Kicker is the safer, simpler match for a single moderate sub.

• Choose the CT-2000.1D if you are running one or more subwoofers that want serious power and you can wire to 1 or 2 ohms.
• Choose the Kicker CXA400.1T if you have a single sub in the 300 to 400W range and want a small amp with preamp outputs for daisy-chaining.
