What amp do I need to power 2 Kicker CVR104 CompVR 10" Car Subwoofers

[churka 10+ year member]

I bought these subwoofers

I asked another ebay seller what kind of amp I would need and he/she said that I would need a 1ohm amp stable at least 800 watts rms. He/she recommended getting this amp

Im not too sure if Hifonics is a good brand and I think that is a little overpriced, but I dont know much about amp prices.

Can you guys please recommend some good, high quality amps but wont empty my wallet?

Thanks

You could run those subs at 1 ohm or 4 ohm.....

Hifonics is a little overpriced, Power Acoustik isn't a well liked brand on this forum....

Audiopipe amps are cheap and will fit the bill for what you need.....

But is audipipe a legit brand? Is it high quality and produces the watts it says?

I prefer sony, pioneer, kenwood and those brands. Could I find any of those in my price range?

Audiopipe amps do rated power, are cheaper and are better amps than all the brands you listed.....

Do research on the amps, they are current forum boner for cheap amps....

i hear good and bad about auqiopipe. some say its amazing and others say its junk.

 

[churka 10+ year member]

Can you please link me to a good audiopipe or name one for me? Please, I am busy now.

Audiopipe AP1500d.....1500 rms @ 1 ohm

Might be too much power for you but you could watch the gains...

Think they also have a 1000rms amp too....

 

[churka 10+ year member]

What do you mean by lowering the gains? I am a complete noob about this stuff.

And what is the name for the 1000 watt rms at 1ohm?

 

[KidThump 10+ year member]

Don't turn your gains wide open and be an idiot, just set them where your sub is handling the power...

I don't know......AP1000?

 

[churka 10+ year member]

But what do you mean by gains?? Like lowering the level of the bass? Btw, im gonna be hooking these up to a 05 accord sedan lx factory radio

And do i need to get a 2 channel amp?

Or would this one channel be good?

Gain is apart of the amp settings, do not use bass boost......

You do not need a 2 channel to run two subs, wire the subs together, that amp would be fine.....

You will need a line output converter to run a amp off of a stock headunit....

 

[churka 10+ year member]

That amp would be fine? Not great? Can it get better? The next step is 1500 watts rms at 1ohm

 

[KidThump 10+ year member]

That amp is about all of the power i would put to CVR 10's.....
