Amp To Power My System

[xChuckie420 10+ year member]

I want to find a good decent AMP to power up 2 Kicker CVR-122 12". I have a AVIC-u310bt as my unit and alpine type-S speakers all around. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You in advance

Budget? Check out the MB Quart Q1.1500 or ONX 1.1500 Hard to beat on a budget. Want to spend a little more? Cadence ZRS-C65 or Kenwood Excelon X1200M ?

I have a budget of like 200... As i was doing research right now i saw that there is two version of the cvr-12 which is the 124 and the 122 the one i purchased today is a 124 which is the 4ohms version and the other i have might be the 2ohms version.... is there anything bad about that??? should both of them be the same or there is no problem??

From my understanding your buying one amp so yes they will need to both be either need to be the same ohms.

Shouldn't it be the same ohms though after the same wiring to both??

Yeah, that's an issue if they aren't matching subs.

No, you have to have subs that are the same impedance (Ohms).

Clearly you also don't know how to wire one or more subwoofers to an amp, judging by your statement. You can't simple just run a cable to red and black of each sub to the amp. Has to be wired specifically how you plan to run it.

Not that familiar with car systems just now getting into it. Tomorrow i will look to see and hope to have the same ohms to both subs if not im going to have to change it for it to be the same

Yeah, come back when you know what you got. Can't really go forward with trying to find an amp until then.

So today i checked my subs and lucky they were both Dual 4-ohm Voice Coil Component Sub-woofers..... So any suggestions in the 200 $ area?

Okay so you need something that does 800-1000W at 4 or 1 ohms. Much easier to find at 1ohm. Either of the ones I recommended in my first post will be fine.

i wouldn't get that amp. i doubt it puts out the power it says it does, and even if it is, its most likely dirty power (aka clipped signals which can kill your subs from overheating them)

The only thing on the amp is that it requires a 2 gauge to run and i only have a 4 gauge...

:facepalm:

4 gauge will still work

it means that it will accept anything up to 2 gauge. 4 gauge will be plenty of 1,000w

junk. stay away from power acoustik, sony, kenwood, legacy, pyramid, pyle, crunch, autotek. the only exceptions to that list would be old school sony XM amps, crunch ground pounder series and the autotek mean machine series.
