12" kicked l5's are 600RMS EACH and if you want to get the 4 ohm modles you would need to wire it at 1 ohm

so you wouldnt need a 2000w amp just a 1200w rms at 1 ohm amp

so you want to hook it up to a stock car system? So your not putting in a head unit.

then you would need a line output converter

u can also get this at walmart for $18

for the line out converters does it matter what kind i get.

that will allow the subs to be better, cause one of my friend bought one for 100 and how would i end up installing that like where would it go?

 

[TMali 10+ year member]

you hook it up to one of your speaker, like your rear 6X9's

it sometimes matter what kind you get, goes off the rule, you get what you paid for.

I would never use one myself, but its a cheap what if you dont want to buy a head unit, mounting kit and wireing harness

They're just a plug-n-play device. Usually any Maxxsonics amplifiers are one of the best bang for the price. I, personally, would rather go the Autotek route and snag an MM1-1500 for about $200. But they're all still great starter amps.
