Most budget monoblocks stop being stable once you drop below 2 ohms — wire a single sub down to 1 ohm and they either shut down under thermal protection or distort long before they should. The Kicker 46CXA800.1 doesn’t have that ceiling. It’s rated and built for genuine 1-ohm operation, which opens up wiring configurations that would fry a lot of amps in its price range — including some that cost more, like the Alpine S-A60M. This Kicker 46CXA800.1 review gets into what that 1-ohm rating actually buys you, how the amp performs against independent owner dyno tests, and where it lands next to the Skar RP-1200.1D and other monoblocks worth cross-shopping.
