Amplifier for CVR12's.

[xDeth7 10+ year member]

I'm looking for an amp to completely power my two Kicker CVR 12's. I'll give you the stats.

Kicker CVR12

---

400 W. RMS (2-Ohm)

800 W. Peak

Here are the AMPs I've been comparing, help me choose:

Phoenix Digital 2000W - (135$)

---

375 x 2 W. RMS (2-OHM)

750 x 2 W. Peak

Rockford Fosgate P500.2 - (160$)

---

250 x 2 W. RMS (2-OHM)

500 x 2 W. Peak

Kenwood KAC-9152D - (150$)

---

450 x 1 W. RMS (1-OHM)

900 x 1 W. RMS

------

The Rockford sticks out to me to be honest, I've seen only good reviews from them but it seems to be rated a lot lower thant he other two. A lot of people tell me that they underrate their equipment. Out of these three, what would you guys go with? Feel free to reccomend others to me, just keep it under 160$.

You do know that's a MONO amp and running it in 1-OHM wiring will blow my two CVR's by a mile, right man?

You usually run sub's on mono amps... Keep the gain down and the subs will handle it.

are your subs single 4 voice coils or dual 4s

Dual 2

since they're dual 2ohm subs you'll need an amp that does around

800wrms@2ohm or 0.5ohm

I would get a Pg xenon 600.1 - it does around that power at any load between

1om and 4ohm.

Refurb Kicker KX600.1 or ZX750.1?

If you can spend a little more money, perhaps a new one of those^ or an MTX TC6001 or an Infinity 611A. There's actually lots of choices for a mono amp that runs it's full power into 2-ohms...

I'm liking the ZX750.1. Might have to gather up a little more money, but that's doable. Thanks.
