Enough power

[Zero_Signal 10+ year member]

I have two kicker compvr 10" subs that are 2 ohm, with a rms rating of 300w.

I was looking at the kicker kx600.1 amp and was going to wire the subs together to give 300w rms to each of them, I was also wondering, to save some money, if I should just get the kx400.1 and send 200w to each sub.

I was just wondering if the kx400.1 would be good enough?

Are the kx series amps 1ohm nominal amps?

No, I was going to wire them at 2 ohm.

unless you just want to stay with kicker, there are alot cheaper amplifier companies out there that you could get more bang for the buck.

The Kx400.1 will do the work

Ok, thanks, but what are some other brands that are good. Also, would I have to worry about clipping if I went with the kx400.1.

They are only 2 ohm stable, so he would not get best results from these amps.

Unless they are dvc subs, you cannot do so.

get a 600.1 if those are d2's...you won't be dissapointed.

They are dual voice coil, and thanks for the advice.
