High-powered audio isn’t limited to the street. KICKER introduced its new PXA1250.1 waterproof mono amplifier at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, delivering 1,250 watts RMS into a 1-ohm load for subwoofer applications in side-by-sides, UTVs, ATVs, motorcycles, and other off-road vehicles.
The PXA1250.1 features a sealed chassis designed to withstand exposure to water and demanding outdoor conditions. Rated IP66 and IP67, the amplifier is protected against powerful water jets and temporary immersion, making it suitable for installations where conventional automotive amplifiers may be exposed to the elements.
Unlike traditional amplifiers with exposed connection terminals, the PXA1250.1 uses wires extending directly from its chassis. KICKER employs gaskets to seal the housing, along with resin and adhesive applied to the back of the wires where they connect to the circuit board to prevent water from entering the amplifier.
With 1,250 watts RMS available at 1 ohm, the PXA1250.1 provides a high-output option for powering subwoofers in vehicles exposed to water and challenging outdoor conditions.
