Amateur need help!

[MasterMatt209]

I have some subs 4 to be exact I just need some help figuring out what a good amp would be, which sub would be worth installing they are all boxed, and how many watt amp I should get. I have 2 12" kicker comps, 1 12" legacy and a 12" pyramid hyper pro.(I got the last 2 subs for free so if they are crappy subs dont freak out i didnt pay a penny) I hope I can get some help

Ugh.... what are the ohm's of each sub? You really want to run 3 different type of subs?

 

[MasterMatt209]

No i want to run one sub I'm wondering which sub would be the best one to choose I own all 4 though and I'll have to check the ohms

Out of those run the kickers. Amp depends on what it's running. Need ohm load to know the amp

 

[MasterMatt209]

the kicker is the comp 12's pretty sure they're 4 ohm but not positive

If they are 4 ohm just get 1 kicker 250.1 or 300.1 should be able to find one on Craigslist pretty easy. Any amp that is 300 at 2 ohms. Or a 150x2 4 channel.

I will most likely only use one sub but for one sub you would recommend 150 watts?

 

[garychoffmann 10+ year member]

If it is a kicker c12. They are rated at 150

If you are gonna do any try and push the 2 kickers if you have the space.

Running a single kicker at 2ohms will not give much bass. 2 kickers at 1 ohm will give some decent bass.

Also for the amp if you do end up doing the 2 kickers you then can find a very very small monoblock amp that can do atleast 3-500 watts.
