    Need KICKER amp recommendations!

    Thanks for your message. I'm actually going to go with the 650. I figure the more power the better, as long as the gains are proper.

    Need KICKER amp recommendations!

    NOT impressed with Kicker's tech support. Look at the email I sent/received. Did they even READ it? Are they thinking that 4ohm watts are simply HALF of 2 ohm watts? What a joke. I wrote them back tearing them apart. This is what THEY said...

    Need KICKER amp recommendations!

    Just got off the phone with a JL rep. Said I could go with either scenario...that they were all basically the same. He taught me that the gains aren't volume controls and that are only used to adjust sensitivity. He said 120w to the components per channel wasn't a problem at all. He said I...

    They are 70 watts coninuous. So you are saying I should put 70 into them each? Are you supposed to match them up exact, or go with more power? Simply because I heard it's not good to max out amps. So I thought if you get more power, then you can ease off gains maybe to have? So instead of...

    Need KICKER amp recommendations!

    Thanks guys, yeah even though the KX550.3 has a D class - big deal right? If it's only going to give the subs 105 watts each that may be too underpowered and my gains would be maxed? I guess the 650.4 would give me the best bang for the buck since there is plenty of power. But I keep hearing...

    Ah, IGNORE that last post. I had 2 amps before that need 8g wire, but the actual wire to the battery is a 4g so i'm ok. So once again, please help me choose the best option: 1. KX650.4 2. KX550.3 3. KX200.2 AND KX250.2 THANKS!

    CRAP! Now I just found out that the wiring kit already installed in my car is an 8g one. That means I have to stick with either: 1. 350.4 OR 2. 200.2 and 250.2 I'm assuming it's STUPID to use an 8g wire kit for 4g amp?

    How about the KX550.3? I'm thinking the 650.4 might be too much power. Or maybe a 200.2 for the comps and 250.2 for the subs? What would be best?

    Will amp make a big difference?

    First of all you said you are not a bass head and want to hear music the way it was intended, therefore you have to keep your sub. 30% of most music is bass, and I have a hard time believing your comps will provide you with enough bass. Find the cargo space...if it's only one 10 it shouldn't...

    Need KICKER amp recommendations!

    Also further to my last message, what do you think would be better? 1. go with the 650.4 2. go with the 200.2 and 400.1 3. go with the 200.2 and another 200.2 bridged for the subs. Man, everything works out about the same money wise. I maybe save $50 by going with the 4 channel. But I...

    Need KICKER amp recommendations!

    Thanks for the replies! However, I am still a little unsure...one of you said better to have too much and go with the 650. The other said the 350 will work out great. Ah well, I guess the 650 is not that much more cash and I guess I can turn down the gains. Where is it "optimum" to have the...

    Need KICKER amp recommendations!

    ok i'm actually now thinking about saving some money and going with a 4 channel and bridging 2 channels for the subs. What do you think of the 350.4 to do the work? Or would the 650.4 be alot better? I'm pretty sure i'm going to be going this route and leaning toward the 650 unless you think...

    FREQUENCY & Q-CURVE???

    I have a Clarion DZX545MP and under the bass and treble controls there are a few options that I have no idea what they mean, and when I adjust them I can't hear a difference. I have good speakers for highs and subs too. TREBLE: FREQ---->8kHz or 12kHZ? (factory default is 12) BASS...

    Need KICKER amp recommendations!

    Hey thanks for your reply and help! So you think the 200 and 400 will do ok eh? You don't think i'll have those amps maxed out cuz i heard that you shouldn't go more than 3/4 way on the gains on amps. Is this correct? It would definitely be good to save the money and i'm not caring about SPL...
