    Im using 1 Kicker 07CVR104. Im planning on a sealed box. The sub specs for a sealed box are a minimum of 0.8 and maximum of 3.0 cubic feet.

    which 10" alpine sub do I need for this amp?

    ok guys I understand now I was looking at the amp and noticed it was set to low pass crossover and the frequency knob was set to 80 hz. Should the freq be set to a lower number for the alpine sub?

    which 10" alpine sub do I need for this amp?

    obviously Im a newb to this. So my rockford sub has been running incorrectly for a few years now. Oh well. I couldnt tell the difference. So the 1023 it is. Care to explain why a 4ohm amp needs to be used on 2ohm sub? I dont understand
