Noob needs help

[BumpInTheTrunk5 10+ year member]

hey guys please help me out here,

I don't know that much about car audio at all, I used to own 2 10'' type R's and sold them, now I am looking for a new system and need to know if this amp matches with my subwoofers to me it looks fine but I would like more opinions before I buy.

The subs I have are 2 12'' Infinity KAPPA PERFECT12DVQ's with the following specs:

Power Handling, RMS: 400 Watts

Power Handling, Peak: 1600 Watts

Frequency Response (±3dB): 25Hz - 400Hz

Mounting Depth: 7"

Impedance: 2 or 8 Ohms depending on wiring

Sensitivity: 92dB

And now here is the amp I'm looking at: the Orion 8002 with the following specs:

• 200W x 2 @ 4 Ohm Stereo

• 400W x 2 @ 2 Ohm Stereo

• 800W x 1 @ 4 Ohm Bridged Mono

• Intelli Bass variable bass equalization

• 2-way active selectable crossover

• Copy/Master feature

• Mono/stereo switchable

• Heavy gauge direct-wire high current satin finish power and speaker terminals

So does this amp work or is there another amp that would go better with the subs???

yes, u could hook them up at 4 ohm mono for the 800 watt x1

ok ty but what does 800x1 mean???

800 watts for one channel.

So you would be giving those speakers their rated RMS power. Orion makes some nice amplifiers, you should be happy with what you get.

Are they going to be in a sealed or ported enclosure?

It's gonna be ported probably, and that orion 8002 will I be able to get the fullpower and good quality sound from my subs with it?? or is there another amp u guys recommend?
