Warhorse – Ten Kilowatts from Kicker!

Seen for the first time in Las Vegas last January but one, the awesome Kicker Warhorse amplifier is shipping to Europe and Armour have them on their price list at a cool five grand. But when you learn what it can do and how well it works, you could even call it good value for money versus ten kilowatts of other makers’ kit in terms of price and most importantly efficient power consumption&;.here’s what Kicker have to say about it&;.
Unless you’re serious about your car audio – like really serious then don’t bother reading any further!!
Simply put, its like nothing that’s ever been seen before in mobile audio. Kicker engineers have spent years in the electronics lab labouring to create the ultimate competition piece. What they emerged with was the future in high-end amplification, an undeniable breakthrough in car audio technology that will leave the mobile electronics industry in awe. Code named Warhorse, the WX10000.1 signal-modulated subwoofer amplifier is a massive marvel – more than 10,000 true watts surging to dual voice coil subwoofers with the highest power handling capabilities. The biggest breakthrough since class D technology. Recommended for use with SoloX subs, the Warhorse easily summons enough juice to be dangerous! This results in efficiency ratings unheard of in mobile audio – 90 percent efficiency at 2 ohm load at full power. Warhorse’s features are groundbreaking:
Its Patent pending, signal modulated power supply allows ultra-efficient amplification.
Planar transformer design to operate reliably at full RMS for high power applications.
Texas instruments industrial grade DSP to manage signal processing and protection circuitry.
Insulated metal substrate cooling for optimum heat transfer to improve performance.
Heavy duty, solid copper bus bars to maximise current capabilities.
Super thick PCB assures the circuit board transfers the current needed.
Oversized, gold plated power connectors are custom designed to carry max current to the power supply.
Industrial grade speaker connectors provide safety from high voltage signals.
Nothing was overlooked during its 4 year design process.

Also available is the WXRC Warhorse control module, which allows the user to access the full range of operational possibilities available on the amplifier and all from a remote location.
