Kenwood sucks........ rockford fosgate t5001bd would be great that amp will do at least 800w, it's underrated. US Amps MD-1D JL Audio 1000/1 If budget is a problem you could get a hifonics 1206d. That amp is ok but nowhere near as good as the others. It's overrated and will do ~900w |

Gold Member Username: MixmastaspigCanada, Canada Canada Post Number: 1403 Registered: Sep-05 | I would give that sub no less then 1,000rms myself. Give Kevin a shout about the amps (I've bought from him/RD a few times so far) and what MS listed are good choices as well and if your budget is tight Hifonics is a failry good budget amp. Stay away from Kenwood, Sony, pyle, boss...etc |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5300 Registered: Jul-06 | Those amps that Kevin posted are also good and he has good prices so check those out. |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1440 Registered: Mar-04 | amps don't care what's connected to them as long as they're stable at that impedence. You could have a 50,000w sub - as long as it's no less than 1 ohm the amp "should" run fine. However, from what I've read most of those kenwood amps that are supposed to be stable at 2 ohms or 1 tend to struggle when operated at 1 ohm. That may be your problem |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5337 Registered: Jul-06 | Yeah, they kenwood amps that claim to be stable at 1 ohm are actually not, the are known to blow when run at 1 ohm. |
Bronze Member Username: Msand951Riverside, Ca Usa Post Number: 17 Registered: Mar-07 | are crunch any good do you think that the 1500 mono. http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/4998 can perform close to the kicker 750zx. i want to match it up to the one 12 sounstream sub enclosed box http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=16056 i heard that the 750 kicker is a great match but to expensive. and the crunch is 1 ohm stable. |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5395 Registered: Jul-06 | crunch = not good BTW thats a max rating, it doesn't actually do that power |
Bronze Member Username: Msand951Riverside, Ca Usa Post Number: 18 Registered: Mar-07 | thanks MS any recommendations other than hifonics thats close to the 750zx kicker. my little sis has one and damn its flawless. but expensive. or where can i find a refurb |
Bronze Member Username: Msand951Riverside, Ca Usa Post Number: 19 Registered: Mar-07 | just for kicks which is better . 750 kicker or the 1800 watt kenwood.http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17788 cause my bro in law has the kenwood and says his its better but his is pushing 2 infinity 12 reference and shes pushing 2 12 pioneers 450 max watts per speaker. but i was recommended for her to get the soundstream sub since she only wants 1 12inch. |
