What amp for my subs?

[awall9891]

I have two Kicker Comp 10C12 12" subs. Peak power 300W RMS Continuous is 150W. What kind of amp should I get? I was thinking about a 1250W Power Acoustik OVN2-1250 2-Channel. It's rated at 220WX2chanl at @ 4ohm and 280WX2chanl @ 2ohm Would this be too much power, too little, just right? Anybody have any ideas?

JL Audio 250.1 slash serious would do ya just fine

I'm guessing that's a 250W Mono Channel? That wouldn't be too little power?

Two Kicker comps can handle 500 watts RMS together, any more than that you might run into problems.

However I poured **** near 900 watts RMS into one Kicker Comp 12(the 2003 model) and it pounded for about a minute before it died.

all of these would be better choices then the power acoustic, your subs are single 4 ohm correct

Hey what up all? My name is Alex and I just signed up because I want to get back into the car audio scene and and back to being a noob. I figured I could get the best help here. I have an 04' F-150 and I am going to buy one 12'' JL Audio W7 mounted in the power wedge box here in a couple of weeks and more than likely going to buy a pair of components later on down the road. I have no idea what kind of amp to buy, how many channels it should have for the W7 and components, or how many watts I need to feed the W7 and components. I also have a Jensen VM9411 flip out in my dash. Would I need a line driver between the flip out and amp? My last system had a Memphis 9V line driver between my eclipse deck and Memphis Big Bell. If you could hit me up with a response to my email alexbaltimore@gmail.com that would be a huge help it goes straight to my phone. I hardly have any time to get on the computer. Thanks you guys
