Would you recommend any kenwood sub?

Scratch the Kenwood amp and get something around 1500-2000wrms @ 1ohm mono. The local electronic express has one of these just sitting out for people to touch and feel and I personally think it looks and feels like a very well built subwoofer. I like it, never heard it though.

Hifonics has a 2000 watt amp the brutus series BXi 2006D. Is that a good amp? the sub is also dual 3 ohms. can an amp supply 3 ohms?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

you can run both of them in parallel and run the amp at 1.5 ohms, if you really want to try that woofer.

there's a review floating around somewhere, they said it wasn't that great.

mind if i ask what kind of a deal you can get these for?

if they're cheap, it may be worth a shot, but i wouldn't expect anything w7, d9, or type-x'esque from it

i got a pair of the xxv-04s kenwood 25th anniversary component speakers, which had an msrp of $999, and were supposedly kenwood's flagship speaker, and they were airy and clean, but didn't have much output. they're not my 1st choice for drivers.

i haven't found any offers except for refurbished subs. caraudiomag has a review out on this sub and it's supposed to be a positive one i hope to be able to find a factory sub for around $400. Although that is expensive
