capacitor.... no. Get orion 2500d. Try getting an HO alt if you can and get the wires from knukonceptz

orion 2500 wouldnt work. b/c u have the DVC 2 ohm subs. the orion is 2500 @ 1 ohm. if you had 2 DVC 4 ohm woofers than it would work - also, the rockford 2000 watt one will work too (if u had the 4 ohm woofers)

ur best bet is to get 2 amps and hook a sub to each amp. you could get 2 MB quart raa1000 and wire each sub to a 1 ohm load.

or jl 1000/1 (2 of them)

wires are at www.knukonceptz.com

bassman, those subs are 750 rms right? orion 2500d puts 1700 at 2 ohm, so 750x2= 1500w rms at 2 ohms, so the amp will work man jeje

my bad. lol. i was thinkin 1000. i was just helpin someone that had 2 15" l7's, lol.

in that case, i still wouldnt get the orion 2500d... too much power

get the new kicker zx1500.1. puts out 1500 + @ 2 ohms. you will be happy with that!!!!!

"Can someone tell me what wire i Need! what awg for the battery to amp, headunit to amp, amp to subs, ground!"

for the zx1500.1 you would be best with 1/0 gauge wiring, but 4 gauge will work, use at least 4 gauge to ground it, and you just need a small 18 gauge wire to go to the headunit. You need rca cables as well. Just buy a complete package it will have everything you need. You need a fuse holder, a fuse, crimp rings, and you need diferent amounts of each wire, its easier to get the entire kit

"for the zx1500.1 you would be best with 1/0 gauge wiring, but 4 gauge will work, use at least 4 gauge to ground it"

ur power and ground wire should be the same size

also, there is no such thing as the kx1500. there is a zx1500 -but if you get this you need to keep ur DVC 2 ohm subs!!!!

Power (watts): 750W x 1 @ 4-Ohms
