the subs are rated at 800RMS a piece, amp does 500W x 1 @4ohm, 900W x 1 @2ohm.Budget, goal, power?
ya not too much leeway, im worried about the amp overheating when running it at 1ohm. got the amp from my buddy who was leaving base, its only 4 months old. plan on getting a better one, but for now ill have to work with ityou don't have a lot of leeway then with your amp, eh?
What's your job? I just stopped over in Mildenhall not to long ago. Oh, I see now... lolthe subs are rated at 800RMS a piece, amp does 500W x 1 @4ohm, 900W x 1 @2ohm.
Budget isnt too big of a issue, just my location at my base in germany restricts me on getting a custom box built and sent over here. My goal is to get the most out of these subs with this amp, just looking for anyones opinion on it.
Kenwood's tend to run hot, yes. Just make sure it's not shoved under a seat, and make sure you have airflow around and especially under it.ya not too much leeway, im worried about the amp overheating when running it at 1ohm. got the amp from my buddy who was leaving base, its only 4 months old. plan on getting a better one, but for now ill have to work with it

haha, no problem. And your amp should be fine at 1 ohm, just make sure your electrical can support it.Thanks for the tip, sounds like ill be mounting it somewhere else then!

do you suggest upgrading to 0gauge from my battery to amp?haha, no problem. And your amp should be fine at 1 ohm, just make sure your electrical can support it.
big three isnt an option for me, seeing as though i leave this base in 6 months. dont rlly see the point if im selling it that soon. will be definitely doing it on my next car in the statesWouldn't hurt, also the big three in 0/1g.
If you're only running that one amp on 4 gauge wire right now, there's no need to upgrade to 0 gauge. The 4 gauge will do fine. Unless you add another amp that's about the same as the one you have now, the most you could do is the big 3. But if you don't want any hassle or worry, just leave your amp on 4 gauge.do you suggest upgrading to 0gauge from my battery to amp?
