i recently bought a kicker dcvr124 comp vr dual 12's that come in the kicker box and everything. both subs are dual voice coiled and the max watts is 1600 with a rms of 800 watts and 4 ohm's. ive have asked around on the net and pretty much gotten a different answer everytime. i think im fianlly starting to understand the ohm's stuff. some people said i could wire it up so it showed a amp a 2 ohm load and others said that wouldnt be possible and said go with a 1 ohm load and then others said that wouldnt be safe. can anyone help me out here with a right answer so i dont mess up my brand new subs |

if the subs are DUAL 4ohm then you can wire it to a final load of either 4ohms or 1ohm
however,
if the subs are DUAL 2ohm, then a final load of 2ohms will be your only option.
so which do you have? and whats your budget for an amp? |

Looking to install a new stereo system into my new camaro. I ordered two 12' 800w subwoofers. Here are the specks:
800 Watts Peak Power
400 Watts RMS power
Non-Press Paper Cone
Specially Treated Foam
Edge Suspension
2.0" High Temperature Dual Voice Coil
80 Oz Magnet Weight
Dual 4 Ohms Impendence
Fs (Hz): 30 -1KHz
Qms : 4.0
Qes : 0.75
Qts : 0.65
SPL(dB) : 86
Vas (cuft): 4.7
Lug Lock Terminals
5.25" Mouthing Depth Hole
2 Ohm or 8 Ohm Operation
Silver Plated Terminal
Chrome Finished Basket With Vent For High Performance
Now, what amplifer wattage will I need to power these subwoofers? I have a Sony XPlod 600w amp, but my friends say my subs will fry it. Also I bought a new Kenwood deck that pushes 50x4 watts into my 4 speakers. What speakers (watts) should I buy for superior quaility? Any suggestions? E-mail me at:

Really appreciate.

the subs are 4 ohm. so i can only wire it 4 or down to 1 right. thats kind of a down fall because i dont think i have found a amp that will run 800 watts rms at 4 or 1 ohm. anybody kno of one? |
