Re: what amp do I need to power two 12 inch kicker subs and two 10 inch mtx subs?
Are you asking to power two 12" kickers AND two 10" MTX's? Cause you should NEVER mix brands and sizes...It sounds like crap. If you run two different sizes and two different brands your going to get two different sound qualities and two different power ratings. I wouldnt even recommend mixing sizes even if they are the same brand. Trust me I've tried it.
But if your asking to power one or the other, it will depend on what type of Kicker or MTX subs they are. What kind of vehicle are they going in? What kind of head unit and speakers do you have? How much are you willing to spend on an amp? Are you going with a sealed or a ported box?

generally, mixing different sub types and sizes is a bad idea. you may not have enough experience at listening to SQ systems to know how bad it sounds when you do that.

Wow someone asked for some input and we give them some advice to keep them from making a catastrophe of there system.
Most people that do the different size subs thing, do it for show. And if you know anything about SQ then you would know it doesnt work.

what's done for "install show" is mostly just looks ...... those types of vehicles normally score rather poorly at SQ contests. They are normally shops just showing off their install skills at shows.
