Will all of this go together?

[leo34 10+ year member]

OK I want to know if all of this stuff will go together and work properly. My system is going to be two Kicker CVR10's (2 ohm versions), 2 channel Power Acoustik TS1440-2 amplifier, and wiring kit with 8 gauge wire. Will all of this stuff work together? How should the amp be wired to the subs for 2 ohm's? Thanks.

What is your RMS at 2 ohms from your amp? Your amp puts out more power at 2 ohms so check that along with your speaker RMS rating. You will want your amp to have somwhat of a higher output than your subs so you can adjust the gains accordingly.

At 2 ohms it is 370X2 which is right on the money, because my subs handle 300 each. So I can just lower the gain on the amp.

are they the 2 ohm dual voice coil version? if so you can run em in series and bridge that amp for more power.

Yeah they are. But what does all that mean (I'm somewhat of a n00b)?

Can a 2 ohm sub be wired for 4 ohm's?

ok a DVC 2 ohm sub can be wired down to either 1 ohm or 4 ohm. With a pair you can wire them differently into one channel on your amp giving you more power. There is a website that has many different sub wiring configs.

What do you guys recommend?

If the sub isn't 2 ohm stable mono (it probably isn't) and the subs are 2 ohm DVC, then you only have one wiring option: wire the coils in series and wire one sub to each channel. You will get whatever the 4 ohm power per channel is to each sub. No other way to do it with that sub and amp combo.

Alright, but will that be OK it would be at 300X2 RMS which is what the subs are rated at.
