what amp to use for 2 12" kicker solo classics

[acesaines]

Hey guy I have 2 12" kicker solo classic's and I also have a 1000 watt RMS response mono amp but it's not powerful enough to run them as the subs are 1200 RMS together so I'm looking for an amp or 2 amps that will run the easily, any suggestions, I don't wanna break the bank either

Thanks guys

What final load are you gonna have? You didn't mention if they were s2 or d4 so people don't have enough information to be able to help you.

^^^What he said. The 1000 watt amp is plenty enough to run them. You're not going to hurt em' underpowering them. What voice coil configuration are the subs? Dual 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm? It's going to determine your final ohm load at the amp. Incidentally, what type of amp is it? Some amps are 1 ohm stable and some are 2.

4 ohms for subs but not sure about amp, what does final loan mean, sorry for lack of info guys I'm new to all this

Thanks guys

Load*

When you wire your subs, the final load is what the ohms are. If they are single four ohm, the amp will 'see' a final two ohm load. So you would want an amp stable in two ohms. Most amps are.
