That's why they're after. The voice coil configuration will determine how you will wire your sub to the amp. The amp you choose has to be compatible with the sub in that regard. So basically, without that info, they can't truly guide you in the right direction. JL and RF both make quality amps. Just expensive, but I understand you're limited where you are. Kicker amps are also pretty good. With a Dual 2 ohm sub, you'll want to find an amp that does 400watts rms at 1 ohm.

Why is it that i would need to find an amp at 400rms 1 ohm? If my sub is 400rms at 2 ohm? Thank you for all your help again guys and gals!

If it is, in fact, dual 2 ohm. You'll want to wire like this:

or like this:

Either will work. You can use an amp that does 400@1 or 4 ohms. Typically, it's less expensive to find power at a lower ohm load.

Now if you sub is dual 4 ohm, then yes, you'll want your power at two ohms.

Op, is all your electrical stock? ( no extra

Batts, big 3 not done...)

my electrics are stock yes. Can u explain what you mean about stock electrics? Because ive bought the sub, jist waiting for amp before i get it all wired up. Is the kx400 a good amp then?

Also my matee has got a rockford fosgate t1 and is getting a focal amp. Is that a good combination?

If your sub dual 4 ohm, then yes. That kicker amp will do just fine.

Focal makes more than one amp. T1's come in more than one voice coil configuration. We'd need more details before being able to comment on his setup.

I have a BOSS Rev Series 2-channel amplifier I'll sell you really cheap, & it's brand new in box. It does around 450w rms bridged.

ok... I am aware that the sub is dual 2 ohm. What does this mean? What amps are good for this sub?

Can someone list a few please so i can research them and find out more. Thanks
