im thinking of getting the Hifonics bx1000d(1000watts rms @1ohms) for 2 kicker cvr(there dvc 4ohms)

i would run the amp at 1ohm and wire the subs to make a 1 ohm load(how do you do that for 2 dvc 4ohm subs)

i'll be overpowering it by 200watts but i expect this amp to be a bit overated plus the rms wattage are done at 14.4 volts

I hate to burst your bubble, but Hifonics is not a great amp. I'd go with MTX before that one.

Get an MTX 81000 and take it easy on the volume.

yea but i need somthing at 1ohm, because i have 2 dvc 4ohm subs and they can either make a 4ohm load or a 1ohm, any suggestions for a cheap(UNDER 200$)amp thats at least 800w rms@1ohm

The 81000 is stable at 1 ohm? It is like 1500 wrms though, but you can could easily make it work.

Mike, for under $200 that is probably gonna be one of your best choices when it comes to a mono amp that is 1 ohm stable. Usually amps that are stable @1 ohm are more spendy. Otherwise you could always wire your subs to a 4-ohm load and then get a 2-channel amp and bridge it. Just letting you know your options.

Yeah, I forgot you had a 200 dollar budget. You could try a MTX Thunder942. 700 wrms at 4 ohms at 12.5 volts, and 940 watts at 4 ohms at 14.4 volts. Should work perfect.

thanks for the help guys, if you don't mind what are your opinions on a panasonic cq-8301U for a head unit for 200$?

I'd look at something other than panasonic. A lower model Alpine would be great for 200 bucks.

If you can't order off the net and need to buy from a store, Alpine may be hard to find. You could look into Pioneer as well.
