Kicker Warhorse

[Wingman0121 10+ year member]

My buddy is finally coming around to finish his summer ride and he has four 12" Solo-Xs dual 4 ohms and enough money to blow on some serious equipment, I want to get him a Kicker Warhorse to run those subs to a single 2 ohm load, where can I buy that amp?

If your buddy had the money 2 months ago I would have sold him mine...mines going in this week though

Flebay is probably going to be your best bet now

Why not just get a cheaper amp that does the same, w/o the kicker name?

Doesn't Sonic Electronix have 'em for relatively cheap? Only problem is that they may not be an authorized dealer for Kicker. I know I got screwed when buying some Audiocontrol equipment from them, not knowing it wouldn't be covered with a warranty :-/

Well I want to keep it just one amp because there are limited trunkspace in a 98 Lincoln Continental and I still need space for a large 4 channel amp and a shittons of gel cell batteries, he also wants to keep his backseat in place. I don't think there are too many 7000+ watts amps that does their highest rated power at 2 ohms or .5 ohm. I may get him to buy that US Amps 100HC Ultra since it's back on eBay but I don't know if that amp can be bridged and run a .5 ohm mono load all day long as a daily setup. He wants everything Kicker if he can(this is the dude that had two 12" Solo-Xs running off of an US Amps USA-2000X and those subs took that amp like a champ). There is a Phoenix Gold The One at a local stereo shop but that amp does 12000 watts at 1 ohm and "only" 8000 watts at 2 ohms(those figures are at 16v, it really only does 5768 watts @ 1 ohm with 12.6v and 9419 watts @ 1 ohm with 16v) so frankly that is not enough(we're not running 16v), plus they want something stupid like $4000 for it.

If I really have to I would go with two 3000~4000 watt amps that can do 1 ohm mono loads and does good power @13.8v. He wants to win the local comps with a daily setup so my skills are on the line haha.

there?

I mean, aren't the Warhorses like $5,000+?

Also, after looking at Warhorse specs, I didn't realize how good they were. Like, actual 10kw at 2ohm. However, I would be wary of buying something that expensive that isn't 1ohm stable w/o warranty. But I suppose if you found one under $2,000 it wouldn't be too bad.

That amp is not listed as .5 ohm stable and it's rated to do good power at 1 ohm, I don't want to "try it out" because it isn't my money and frankly that amp is not enough to power four Solo-Xs IMO. I would rather get one new instead of from someone because it seems like all the used big amps for sale have seen some low voltage(11v is low to me) and I really don't like that.
