What amp should I get?

[SerratedStar13]

I have two subwoofers in a box; both Kicker Comp R's. They are 500 Watt RMS at 4 ohms. I'm not sure what amp(s) I should get and how it should be wired. My max budget is preferably $150 or less. Thank you in advance!

150 bucks is gonna be tight. @bigblank69 has a collection of tested amps I'm sure he may have something for ya.

Those Kickers in a factory enclosure?

They are not in the factory enclosure

Would this amp be a good option or is the watts too high?

u don't want a 4 channel u want a mono amp.. are the subs d4? if so u need amp that's 1 ohm stable if they are svc4 ohm u need amp that does all it's power at 2ohm..

is box sealed or ported? ported is louder but u loose some of amps power due to "box rise" bigger the box more power u loose., so if ported u need more than rated power for the subs..

I have a couple of amps that would work for him.

I have a Hifonics Cyclops that's really a nice 1500W amp at 1 ohm I can do $150 shipped on

Also have a Dual DA8001 amp that does 1500W+ Rms Korean made and I can do for $95 Shipped

Both are in New condition

Also have a new condition Kicker KXM1200.1 amp I can do for $190 shipped that does over 1200W @ 2ohms

Also have a Rockville DB16... That's $200 though

All amps are Dyno tested for true power.

I have a couple more amps coming as well.

It's on my YouTube page //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif but I think it was around 650 at 4 ohms.... I would have to go look.

Here's some links to pictures of my sub so you can better figure this out. I don't know really anything about this.

no real way to know what ohm load is without seeing back of subs.. if thats the box u have just make sure u get amp with ss filter cause it's tuned about 45 hz play many tracks below 40hz can kill the subs thats lot of reason they have 500,000 of them refurbished on ebay for cheap.. my guess is they 4 ohm subs wired to 2 ohm final load., if so big blanks kicker 1200 amp he has for $190 is a great deal for u (if he sells it)..

It is 4 ohm. I got a cheap Bose M1100 Monoblock (I think that's the name) to use until I can afford a Kicker to properly power it

A kicker to properly power it?.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif.. once you find out what impedance you've got the options may be better. A 600-1000 watt 1 ohm stable amp nowadays is VERY affordable... are you stuck with a 4 ohm load?.. I'm curious are those subs single coils or what?.. 4 ohm final load in series, paralleled or series/paralleled? Have you seen the back of these subs yet?
