What kind of amp do i need for 2 12 inch kicker subs?
info needed to PROPERLY match amps and subs the subs voice coil setup (DVC or SVC) the subs impedance (ohms) the final impedance at the amp (how the subs are wired) the number of subs the subs RMS (continuous) wattage or the model numbers
Which amp do you need for 2 15 inch Kickers?
Since size of speakers doesn't exactly tell you how much power they need, you'd need to know the wattage (amount of power needed) of each in order to fully know what amp would work best with your Kickers. If you use an incorrect amp it may technically work, but you run a risk of damaging either your amp or subs which you've already invested time and money into!Check out Xplosive Audio online, you'll find loads of tools to help you solve any further questions. www.xplosiveaudiosa.com
I have 2 12inch kicker cvx06 subs and need help choosing an amp to power (subs are 4 ohm)?
Sure, there are plenty out there, but I'll help you narrow it down with a couple of excellent choices. Since you'll prob- ably driving both on one amp, which would mean that your amp would be driving them in mono at 2 Ohms, con- sider one of these... - PHOENIX GOLD OCTANE-R R5.0:1 - Rockford Fosgate Punch P3001 - MTX Thunder421D - Audiobahn A12005DN - MA AUDIO M1889i - Profile HA700M Search on the internet for the best price. Here, I'll give you one site to use to get you started browsing. You may also browse uBid (completely safe shopping), or eBay as well. The minimum power you want to consider is 300 watts into 2 Ohms. Oh, and make sure, when you have it installed, you use the correct gauge for the power wire (i.e. 4-8 gauge). H a p p y L i s t e n i n g ! ___ __ _
I need help wiring my Kicker cx1200.1 amplifier to 2 12" Kicker CompR 2 ohm DVC subs.?
I need help wiring my Kicker cx1200.1 amplifier to 2 12" Kicker CompR 2 ohm DVC subs. I currently have both subs set at 2 ohms each and each wired To each channel of the amp and it sounds great. Is this correct?
What size amp do i need to push 4 12 inch kicker subs?
you need a charging system upgrade to run 4 12" sub woofers,and the RMS rating is how you match a sub woofer to a class d amplifier the amp is set up for running sub woofers.the RMS rating is the continuous power a class d amplifier can put out and a sub woofer can handle and a match is what your looking for from amp to subs and if you have 4 you have to add the RMS rating of all 4 of them and match this figure to a class d amplifier,this is what your looking for for best results at the ohms load you except to wire them for.a bridgeable 4 channel amp in a low pass mode can run subs but is not the way to go.just 0 gauge wiring if your talking (the big 3 upgrade) gives you about 12 to 14 amps more power from your stock alternator.and i do not think its enough to run 4 12s.good luck with your system,and use the site the other answer gives you to wire them right.its the (rockford fosgate woofer wiring wizard) this will take you to the same wiring chart.never use peak or max ratings to match any subs or speakers to an amplifier.its the continuous power or pioneer calls it the normal power rating.good luck.
What amp should I get for my dual 15 inch Kicker CVR subs?
Since they are dual 2 ohms, if you want to use both subs your final impedance load to the amp would have to be either 2 or 4 ohms. Its much easier to get power from a lower impedance. Each sub is rated for 500 watts rms, for a total of 1,000 watts which you want to get at 2 ohms. (It is also possible to wire your subs to .5 ohms but I would not recommend this, even high end amplifiers burn out much easier at this low of an impedance). Its going to be more expensive to get that much power at a higher impedance. (Most try to get their subs to a load of 1 ohm and find a good 1 ohm stable amp to get the most power for your dollar) (Least expensive to most) (ignore peak/max and only go by rms) Hifonics BRX1100.1D 800 watts rms@2ohms Audioque Q1-1200D 870 watts rms@2ohms Audioque Q1-2200D 1050 watts rms@2ohms Yes you should use one amp for both subs, here is a wiring guide: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wo... And as for the enclosure, you could have one or two, but 15" subs need about 4 cubic feet of airspace each for a ported box. So you would need around 7-9 cubic feet for a ported box for both of the subs. As for port area it depends on the tuning of the box but I would shoot for about 82 square inches of port if you were to make one box for both subs. A tuning of 33 or 34Hz would be good for most people. A sealed enclosure could be smaller and would only need 2 cubic feet per 15" sub for a total of 4 cuft (and you wouldn't need to worry about tuning and port area).
What kind of amp should i run with my kicker comp.?
MULTI-CHANNELMARINE AMPLIFIER with a CLASS-DSUBWOOFERCHANNEL MX700.5 http://www.kicker.com/06/kicker_home.html This one will work great, but you must know that service technicians must install it !
How many Watt Amp would I need to push 3 12 inch subs?
i had like a 100watt amp set up with two mtx 12" subs, and my friend gave me another 12" alpine, and a different amp which i think is still just 100w because mine wasnt a 2 channel, if i hookup both subs they arent getting enough power, whats a good amp to push these 3 subs?
If I have two 400 watt RMS subwoofers what size amp do I need? How can you tell?
Probably 800 watts at half the rated ohms of one speaker. Your amp must be able to push 800 watts at, say, 2 ohms if these are 4 ohm speakers or 800 watts at 4 ohms if these are 8 ohm speakers.It will say on the speakers what the impedance in ohms is.Get an amp that is specified with 800 watts or over, at an ohm rating that is SAME or UNDER…half the ohm rating of one of those speakers.That's the answer here's a short ramble:Almost inevitably you will be running the two speakers in parallel. Whether you have two outputs on your power amplifier; or if you go into one speaker then go out from that speaker to the next; the connection you don't see inside the speaker with in and out or inside the amp is a parallel connection. Parallel connections divide the impedance (ohms.) It takes a bigger amp to handle lower impedance, because lower impedance is lower AC resistance. Lower resistance means more amps flowing for the same output voltage. More amps requires a beefier output section. The actual equation for total speaker ohms of speakers wired in parallel is:Total ohms = 1/((1/ohms#1)+(1/ohms#2))…If you put in a third speaker there would be another similar term in the denominator, (1/ohms of speaker #3). More speakers, lower ohms…The amp will say what the watts and ohms are on the back, or at least in the manual it will tell you what it can handle. Be at or below the ohms, and above the watts.
