Will this sub work with my amp.

[JL-KA]

I won't bother with the details of why I'm switching subs.

Right to the point. I have a Kicker ZX400.1 Amp and I need to know if the Pioneer TS-SW2501S2 will be a good match for it.

I tried to quote the specs of them but for some reason it said "post denied" when I did that.

www [dot] kicker.com/ZX_Amplifiers (click 400.1)

I know the amp is 400w and the sub is 300w but my music taste is 90% Country and 10% 70's & 80's rock.

I do listen to it loud but I don't think it's as taxing on a sub as hip hop is.

If that's wrong please let me know. It's cheaper to buy a new amp than it is to buy a 2nd sub and an appropriate amp if the first one get's ruined. But if I can get away with what I have I would obviously prefer that.

Thanks in advance,

JML

Set the gain properly on the amp & it should be fine. If it seems lkike the sub is over heating dial the gain back a bit.
