Re: Audio - Kicker

whats the RMS on the amp and speakers??

also make sure when you hook them up, you do it in a way that doesnt go below the amps impedance ie..1ohm

It's really not recommended, the amp will probably go into protection and turn itself off. If it doesn't actually turn off, it will heat up and may eventually cause it to burn out.

Ok .. the real ? is.....

If your amp says that it is 2 ohm stable you should be able to pound on it at 2 ohms for as long as you want. As with any amp if it is in a confined area and doesn't have fresh air then it will get hot and shut down. Running it at 2 ohms will cause it to heat up quicker but if you have good air to the amp you will have no problem. Now the fun part is going to be wiring them so your amp will see 2 ohms. You will need to run your each sub in series and them parrallel them at the amp. This will essentially give you two 4 ohm subs that when connected to your amp will parrallel down to 2 ohms. If you not certain how to do that then let me know and I will sketch something out to e-mail you.

Even better...

Here is a link on how to wire your subs. You want to use option #2.
