yeah but the mmats does 1500 rms @ .5 ohms it does more though cuz its underated, but the kicker could do over 2500 wrms @ 2 ohms and i want more power, but any reasons why you recomend keeping the mmats?

I thought kx was 1 ohm stable and zx was 2 ohm stable

the mmats is cleaner sound and more efficient...a lot better quality

Yes, I have to agree that the mmats by far has the best efficiency out of all the amps i've owned, x2 on the sound quality too, but idk mmmmmhh that kicker is tempting ill see wat i do:crap:

I beg to differ. The KX 2500 is a very solid amp, also efficient. With proper electrical they can do 1 ohm.....mine has, although you wont see much more power out of it.

They will also do more than rated power.

you can't bridge a mono amp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Its awesome, very solid, great build quality, very efficient and puts out lots of power. I ran it at 1.4ohm for ~2 months and it did great. 220amp alt, y-top up front, deka in the rear.
