Hi. I am going to run 4 infinity kappas and a 12" Kicker.
Would it be better to buy one amp for the speakers and one for the sub, or buy one 5 channel amp for everything? |

Get one multi chnl amp for the kappas.
&+
Get on mono amp for the kicker.
For the kicker make sure you get a custom box.. will sound so much better. |

ok well thank you so much. its nice to finally get a response from someone lol.
My Kappas are 75w RMS so Im going to get a Alpine MRP-f300 for those.
And for my sub which is a 12" Kicker that runs at 400 RMS at 2 ohm I am either getting the Alpine MRP-m500 or a Kicker zx400.1. I am leaning towards the Kicker because it has a bass control remote.
What do you think? |

iv got 4 Infinity Kappa speakers and 1 Kicker sub
Which amp is better for the 400w RMS Kicker sub. It will be ran at 2 ohm. Should i get the zx400.1 (400 x1) or a Alpine mrp-m500 (500 x 1)? |

well i can get either one for around 150 new.
i have another question if you dont mind...
if my speakers and sub are both made to be ran at 2 ohm (the speakers and amp dont even have a power rating for 4 ohm), do i have to wire them a certain way or just hook everything up and it will automaticly be running at 2 ohm? |
