Whether you're adding a bass knob to an existing KICKER amplifier or completing a new subwoofer installation, the CXARC gives you quick, convenient control over your bass system.
Why Add a KICKER CXARC Bass Knob?

Pro Audio Center Expert Recommendation
The KICKER CXARC is a worthwhile addition to a compatible KICKER subwoofer amplifier, especially if you regularly listen to different music genres or want quick control over your bass level.
For customers purchasing a compatible KICKER CXA mono amplifier, we recommend adding the CXARC during the initial installation so the controller and cable can be mounted and routed at the same time.
