Wire the voice coils of your subs in series and wire the subs in parallel for a 2.66667 ohm load. The Kicker puts out 1500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms. It is over 400$ tho...I couldnt find anything good under 400. The ZX1500.1 is $570. Or you can get a Rockford Fosgate T20001BD Power amp. It also puts out 1500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms..but if you are planning on upgrading in the future..the fosgate amp puts out 2000 watts RMS @ 1 ohm. The Fosgate costs $550 + shipping from www.sonicelectronix.com |

Silver Member Username: Vivi2000Lansing, Mi Post Number: 237 Registered: Aug-07 | with only 1100@ 2ohms you are looking at under 1000 at 2.6 ohms(what they would be run at). You are going to want about 1500-2000 at 2 ohms so that each one gets around 500wrms. I would go with the kicker, that should do around 1500 at 2.6 ohms so they will be properly powered. Another option is to just run 2 and find an amp that does 1000@1 ohm which would be a lot cheaper. |

Bronze Member Username: Rvpr4Ontario Canada Post Number: 21 Registered: Jun-09 | Soundstream is good , but the Kicker ZX1500.1 is rated at 1500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms. Kicker is underrated in my opinion...so I would go with that amp or get the Rockford T20001BD. If you get that...you wont have to worry about upgrading the amp in the future. |
