Kicker at SEMA 2026: New CXA Amps, an L7T Box for 2019+ Silverado and Bronco, and 26 Hz Dual Enclosures

Kicker’s SEMA 2026 product guide is mostly about bass: a refreshed CXA amplifier range from 500 to 2,000 W RMS, a waterproof mono amp for powersports, two new vehicle-specific L7T subwoofer boxes and a pair of dual 12-inch enclosures tuned unusually low. One of those boxes fills the biggest gap in our Silverado guide: a Kicker L7T system for 2019 and newer crew cabs.

The short version

  • CXA mono amps: CXA500.1, CXA900.1, CXA1500.1 and CXA2000.1 (500 to 2,000 W RMS at 1 Ω).
  • CXA850.5: 4 × 100 W plus a 450 W sub channel in one amp.
  • PXA1250.1: 1,250 W RMS at 1 Ω, rated IP66/IP67.
  • 51KGM2DL7T: dual 12-inch L7T box, 1,200 W RMS, for 2019–2027 Silverado and Sierra Crew Cabs.
  • 51KBRL7T: single 12-inch L7T, 600 W RMS, for 2021–2026 Bronco. No prices or dates yet.

A 26 Hz tuning is lower than most prefab boxes (Skar’s SK2X12V, for example, is tuned to 32 Hz), which should favor deep, sustained bass over maximum punch. Kicker hasn’t published volumes or dimensions on its SEMA page.

What it means for you

  • 2019+ Silverado or Sierra owners: a Kicker L7T option is coming. Until it ships, our Silverado guide covers the boxes you can buy now.
  • Bronco owners: a 600 W L7T box joins the vehicle-specific options; pair it with a mono amp making about 600 W at its rated load.
  • Choosing a CXA amp: the new range runs from 500 to 2,000 W RMS at 1 Ω. Use our amp matcher to see which size your subs need.

Our take

The 2019+ Silverado/Sierra box is the headline for us, because Kicker’s existing GM box, the 51KGMDL7T122, only covers 2008–2018 1500 trucks (and HD to 2020). The 26 Hz dual enclosures are interesting too, but they will need plenty of power and clean wiring; see our sealed vs ported guide before choosing a low-tuned box. We’ll add prices and dates when Kicker publishes them.
