Kicker 750.1 To much?

Hey guys, just got a single cab Ford Ranger and i plan on puttinng something more pricey in this one. My neighbor has a Kicker 750.1 hes willing to part with for $150. Ive had my eye on a 12" Rockford Fosgate P3 shallow mount and a 1.8cu/ft box. The RFs P3 is rated for 800max/400rms. Would this be a good combo? or am i going about this the wrong way?

The kicker does at least 800, maybe 850 rms...The p3 is 400rms. I would advise not doing this unless you are aware how to properly set a gain...and if you are unsure, you can always get a dual2 and wire in series for 4ohm. Sub would get its rms and the amp wouldnt break a sweat...with a properly built box, this would get fairly loud in a truck(relatively speaking)

Yeah im still debateing on the amp to get, but i have my heart set on the RF P3S, i wouldnt mind haveing a overpowered amp b/c i plan on eventually getting a larger vehicle. I saw a Sony ZR Dclass amp that runs at a good price. Anyone have any thoughts on it? For that price and haveing a somewhat tight budget it seems like room to spare.

The ZX750.1 is a nice amp. As was pointed out before, you could wire to 4ohm and be runnin around the RMS of the sub. Gives you a little headroom if you ever decide to upgrade also. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
