im not sure you can really get a amp that can truly give 450 rms for 150 bucks. this amp would work perfectly with a L5 but you need to pony up about 299.99 for it. in my experience with kicker products the best way to go is match kicker amps to kicker subs for best performance. they make a amp for almost every sub they have

why would you use that big of an amp, you have to find an amp at 500 watts @ 2 ohms, kicker makes one kicker zx500.1

umm its not that "big of an amp" the 4 ohm sub wired parallel down to 2 ohms. just cus that kicker 750.1 says 750.1 rms @ 2 ohms. trust me its full of sh*t keep ure gaines adjusted it will work perfectly .from personal experience with the 750.1 and every kicker solo sub the 750.1 will work with that sub.

If you ask 100 experienced people on this forum 99% will agree that Kicker underrates their amps.

Kicker does underrate the amps which most people know. But, you also have to factor in impedance rise so the 750.1 would be alot better match then say the 400.1. I personally would go with the 750.1 if you have the money but if you want a good budget amp you can look at profile amps. They are great bang for the buck amps and can be had new on their website for a cheap price. You could also buy used on this forum. You can normally find alot of good deal's on this site.
