AMP for x2 12" CVR's

[SocialStealth]

Buying 2 12'' kicker cvr subs for $100 on craigslist //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif (Not sure if they're 4 or 2 ohm dual coil)

What amp do you guys think I should get for them?

Looking to spend about $200-$250 on the amp. Less $ is more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

We need to know the coils before we help u choose an amp FYI.. It will let us know what final ohm load will be.

how can i tell what ohm coils they have if the person i'm buying them from doesn't know?

look on the back of the sub it will say 2 ohm or 4 ohm.

If you can wait a week or two, I will be selling my Viper 1200.1 for only $180+ shipping. It would power those CVR's with plenty of headroom.

The back of each sub says 4 ohms.

So what amp?

One that puts out between 800 and 1200 watts at 1 ohm would be ideal.

I've used it for about two years. I bought it as a refurb. It was never abused and its still in great condition. The only reason I'm getting rid of it is because I want more power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Specs at 14.4v

450 wRMS @4 ohms

900 wRMS @2 ohms

1200 wRMS @1 ohm

I've seen people bench these amps as high as 1350 wRMS on good electrical. It's an underrated, very solidly built amp.

I really need something thats very efficient with electricity. I have a mazda and they're almost impossible to get alternators for. (as i hear).

Do you think the Sundown Audio SAE-1200D for about $170 new would be the best bang for my buck?
