[QUOTE="NSTALN, post: 8667342, member: 588169"] The short answer to your question is yes, that amp will work...but it may not be the best choice. The Kicker box seems to present a final 2ohm load to the amp. If the amp does 2k at 1ohm then intheory it should do about 1k on a 2ohm load. that being said Rockville isn't a very established name in car audio. i've been in the industry/hobby for over 20 years and I've never actually seen or met anyone who used that brand. What i would reccomend is rather than spending X dollars on an amp that is optimized for 1ohm and only using half the power...i would look for a 2ohm optimized amp that puts out 1000-1500rms. Kicker makes some good mono amps, as does Alpine. There is quite a push on this forum to run 'less mainstream' brands, which is fine if the product is good, but getting an off-brand just for the sake of being different doesn't make sense to me. I would ignore the negative folks on here...it seems like everyone is an expert...in there own mind. When I started my car audio career back in the 90's i asked a lot of 'stupid' questions...that's how you learn. That never really ends...there's always something new to learn. Fell free to reach out to me with any questions you may have regarding audio/installation. Glance at my build logs and you'll see i do have a fair bit of know-how when it comes to this stuff. Good luck and don't be disheartened by the negativity. [/QUOTE]
