Which amp

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

I received back the other day the Kicker800.4. At the current time I have the Kicker550.2 in my Honda driving the CDT's in the front and the Focal's in the rear. Doing the math I think that is 140W going to each.

I am getting closer now to getting my Z-71 truck ready for the install and don't know which amp to use in it The amp for the truck will just be driving a DLS Iridium 6.2 component set. I was thinking the 550.2 would maybe be a better match for that and give them like 150W each which would mean take it out of the Honda and put the 800.4 in the car. That should give all four channels in the Honda 200W each if it is bridged. Is this correct? Would this be the best setups for each if I go that route??

Had to go down to two words for the board to take it... but here it is!

I agree, use the 550.2

Can someone that knows how to figure out amp power when doing splits help me figure out how much I am sending to each?

The Iridiums are 4 Ohm so that means they will be getting 205 Watts per side? Is that safe for those components?

So how would I get 200 Watts for all four out of this? Will I have to run it at 2 Ohm since my CDT's are 4 Ohm? What is involved to do this? Is that safe?

yes, you'll get 205 watts a side at 4 ohm...

I need 200W to all 4 out of the 800.4. Is their a way or do I need to pick up my fifth Kicker amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
