Re: Need Advice Kicker Subs and Amp

what is the impedance and how many voice coils ? I would get 2 subs that are dual 4 ohm, then wire everything in parallel. That will be a 1 ohm load, so get an amp that puts out peak out at 1 ohm (this will be a class D amp).

If you're thinking about the kids that have nothing but boom, remember, that's not all an audio system can do, even theirs. They just make it that way 'cause they want it that way...

Re: Need Advice Kicker Subs and Amp

kicker always have and more 'n likely will always be about spl.
just look at their tagline, "LIVING LOUD" or better yet visit their site:
http://www.kicker.com/06/kicker_home.html

the thing about spl subs is that they're engineered to be more responsive than sq subs, but in a shallower freq. range...
what this means to you is that you're going to need some really good speakers that can keep up and pick-up the slack, (cover the holes)...
