[QUOTE="wesleysh, post: 27356, member: 542712"] Here's where your knowledge of Ohms pays off. If you get two 4 Ohm subs, than you'd need two KX1200.1's, or one Precision Power PCX1500:D . But if you get two 2 Ohm subs, then you could get away with just one KX1200.1. That is because the KX is stable down to 1 Ohm, and will put out 1200 watts at that impedence, which is PLENTY of power. But you couldn't get the PCX1500, because it is not stable at 1 Ohm. Unless you wanted to wire the subs in series, which would cut your power down to 600 watts, and why would you want to do that;) . Also look into getting the JBL 1200.1. I think too many people are using it to dismiss it when its time to look at sub amps. I'm running the PCX1500 on my two 10" Solo-Baric L7's. And that thing could run two 12's or 15's if I wanted it too. I have two 4 Ohm subs, wired in parallel, which makes the PPI push out 1000 watts. Since PPI underrates their amps, it can most likely push even more than that. Check for it here [URL="http://www.cbrstereo.com"]http://www.cbrstereo.com[/URL] or at one of the sites given at the main page at [URL="http://www.caraudio.com"]http://www.caraudio.com[/URL] . As far as space is concerned the Kicker is a bigger amp size wise than the PPI. But I like the looks of the Kicker better, PPI is mainly about quality and not eye appeal. [/QUOTE]
