ok ill just give you guys an idea of what i got here and see if you can peice it all together..
Sub: Kicker Solobaric S10L5:
Speaker Type: Passive
Nominal (RMS) Output Power: 450 Watt
Max (RMS) Output Power: 900 Watt
Response Bandwidth: 24 - 100 Hz
Sensitivity: 86 dB
Additional Features: Dual voice coil

Amp: Planet Audio VX400D
CLASS D MonoBlock Power Amplifier

Max Power (2 Ohms) 600W X 1
RMS Power (2 Ohms) 350W X 1
RMS Power (4 Ohms) 200W X 1
Signal-to-Noise Ratio:100 db
Frequency Response: 25-250Hz

what do i all need as in an amp kit and will these 2 work together? i got a sub box that says 2ohm output on the back, so i have to make my sub a 2ohm will that work with the sub?

jordan, that amp will work with that sub, just wire it to a 2ohm load, but you will be underpowering that sub by about 100w.

ok thanks, also what do you think about setting all the gains on the amp? should i get someone to do it, or i was reading that if you set them all around 3/4 full it will be ok?

turn gains all the way down,Turn your Hu volume to the max position you would normal blair it at. slowly turn up the gain until it starts to distort, back it off a hair and your set. Do not exceed your max volume level once you set it. you could risk ruining your amp, subs or speakers due to clipping.

ok, what are the "gains" exactly, on the side of the amp it all says:
Input level: min-max
subsonic: lowest 15 highest 40
input sensitivity with 2 options:100mv-2v or 2-8V
bridged mode: slave or master
Phase: 0 or 180
low pas 50 lowest, 150 highest
bass boost 0-18db
also theres a remote level controller what should i do with that?
can someone point me in the right direction?
