big props to you.

i was looking at the Kenwood 8152D, it says RMS Power: 300W x 1 @ 4 ohms

is that enough? i LOVE the price tho.

If you need lots of power into 4ohms with the possibility of adding a second sub in the future without replacing the amp go for the Kenwood 9152 (about 185 bucks).

CEA ratings of the 9152D

500 Watts x 1 max (4 ohms) RMS

900 Watts x 1 (2 ohms) RMS

900 Watts x 1 (1 ohms) RMS

Can be strapped to a seperate 9152 to make over 1700watts rms.
