[QUOTE="ngsm13, post: 1784169, member: 544830"] That amp WILL NOT give you 175rms @4ohms. Kicker rates their amps for full output @2ohms per channel... or 4ohms bridged. Therefore your amps ratings: 425rms x 2 @4ohm bridge 212.5rms x 4 @2ohms 106.25rms x 4 @4ohms Kicker amps are a little underrated, so you could prolly go with 110-115rms @4ohms per channel.
