ok the sub comes in two versions.
what you'll want, for a single sub is the dual 4 ohm coil version.
this will gie you a 2 ohm load to a mono amp when its all wired up.
then you want a mono amp that puts out around 600 wats RMS x 1 @ 2 ohms.
the Kicker KX600.1 is a good choice
If you plan to add a second S12L5 later, then get the Kicker KX1200.1
that will give you 600 watts to one sub, or 600 each to two of them.
the sub comes in dual 2 ohm and dual 4 ohm coil versions.
again, you want the dual 4 ohm version.
that's two coils, 4 ohms each, for each sub.

i just looked at the kicker kx600.1 and its like 350.00 and i only have like 200 to spend on an amp so is there any other kind that may be cheaper to power one like a different name brand besides kicker or something? |
