you should first make sure your charging system will be able to power all of those amps

you will only need 1 more amp b/c your total sub rms is 1200 watts, and 3 more of those amps is agrand total of 3400 watts rms, thats overkill, and you will blow your subs, unless or course you have them wired at 4 ohms:-)

rms watts are the amps "continous watts"
the rms watts on a sub is what the sub can handle continously,w/o damaging the sub
the max watts on a sub is what it can handle during a tone burst, which is about 2 seconds

cool so when looking for anp for subs go by rms not max watts make sence glad i did not spend all that money. but 2 ohms too 4 ohms what would be louder for comp 2 amps for 2 ohms or 4 amps for 4 ohms or would it be the same i know ohms is resitants so i would say the same is that right or should i read more

your amp puts out 425 watts rms x 2channels at 2 ohms and 850 watts rms bridged at 4 ohms, so either way you are still getting 850 watts

the lower the ohm load on your amp, the more heat your amp will produce, but if your amp is 2ohm or 1ohm stable, then it is ok to run it like that.

Rigger,

Are your subs dual 4 ohm VCs?

If they are, then you just need one more of those KX850.2 amps. That amp is rated at 425w X 2 RMS at 2 ohms. You can run one of those for each pair at 2 ohms and the RMS wattage would be perfect.
