Kicker or Audiobahn

Woundering which amp to put on which setup?

I have a kicker 600 pushing 2 infinity kappa 10s and i have 1 10" eclipse (older) 4ohm coming in a sealed box.I just picked up an Audiobahn A18001DQ.

So should i leave the kicker on the infinity or put the Audiobahn on them? and then put the kicker on the eclipse?

audiobahn has gone to crap. i had one of their latest releases last year. i think a 600 or 800wt amp and it would overheat and shut off often. keep in mind gains and everything was set correctly. and alot of shops around houston refuse to sell audiobahn amps

Wait, just to be clear, are you saying that you'll be using the Kappa's AND the eclipse?

No the Kappa's are in my Titan,I'm putting the eclipse in my Armada.

The amp is an Audiobahn mono amplifier A18001DQ.

oh wait, sorry bro i didnt read your post correctly. you already have the amp. so are you saying you have all 3 subs in your car?

Ahh, okay, just making sure.

Honestly, I wouldn't use the Audiobahn on anything but if you have it and want to use it, throw it on the Kappas first, keep whichever sounds better on those and use the other for the Eclipse.

i go the 2 kappa in my Titan truck.

Going to put the eclipse in the armada.

Just woundering which amp i should put with which subs?The kicker is pushing the kappa very nice.

All depends on the RMS rating of the Eclipse those amps probably put out close to the same power so its mostly your call.

 

[dbolemiss 10+ year member]

The eclipse sub is around 200w rms

the infinitys are 350w rms a peice.

The armada is my wife's car and i'm just trying to give it a little more full sound.

 

[dbolemiss 10+ year member]

so its looking like it realy doesn't matter.I can put the either amp on either sub setup?

What is the Audiobahn amp Specs...?

I Think its Got a little too much power for Eclipse Sub...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

but remember, Audiobahn are often overrated //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Besides, a bit of headroom doesn't hurt

this is the whole point of this thread,i want to match the right amp with the best sub set up.

I'm never going to turn either one all the way up,just want a better sound.
