Help with Amp/Sub Combination

[bl0ckd 10+ year member]

Sub:

12" Kicker L5

Dual Voice Coils

600w RMS @ 4-ohms

1200w max

Would either of the following amps work for the L5?

1.

2 x 200 watts @ 4 Ohms

2 x 350 watts @ 2 Ohms

1 x 700 watts @ 4 Ohms Bridged

2.

500 Watts x 2 Output @ 4 Ohms.

1000 Watts x 1 Bridged Output @ 4 Ohms

you need 500-700 rms @ 2 ohm from one channel.

Why 2 ohm?

A guy at the local car audio store recommended the following:

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?Source=googlebase&ProductID=19340

Crunch P1100.2

RMS Power Range : 225-550 Watts

Number Of Channels: 2

Maximum Power: 1100 Watts

RMS Power @ 4 Ohm: 1100W x 1

RMS Power @ 2 Ohm: 550W x 2

RMS Power @ 4 Ohm: 225W x 2

no

your subwoofer is a dual 4

that means you an run it at 2 or 8 ohm.

trying to get 600 rms @ 8 ohm would be a waste of $

but 600 @ 2 ohm will be easy, and cheap

So would this amp work, or no? Sorry, I've always sucked at matching amps and subs.

that amp would be good if you had 2 MOOFERS.

but you only has 1

Would 900w RMS @ 2 ohm be too much?

If it WASN'T KENWOOD, would 900w RMS be too much? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

mhm

just go by this

500-700 RMS

2 ohm stable amp (to save you $)

fuse rating should be between 50 or higher or it ain;t pushing no 500 rms.

RMS power = Fuse rating + voltage (12.6-14.4)
