New member Username: Rkjones84Post Number: 10 Registered: Aug-05 | can i use a 2 channel amp that is 2 ohm stereo stable or 2 ohm stable the speakers are Kicker CompVr CVR10 dual 2 ohm voice coils could i get some suggestion on what amp to use to push two of them they can handle 300w rms. everywhere i have seen on the net says i have to get a mono amp but i don't know what wattage to get. Or maybe if i could get a 2 channel what wattage would i need. |

Bronze Member Username: Rkjones84Post Number: 11 Registered: Aug-05 | they make them in both..so let me get this straight to use that amp i would have to hook each speaker in series which would make it 4 ohms and hook each to each channel on the amp right? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rkjones84Post Number: 13 Registered: Aug-05 | example maybe i didnt make that clear, ok take one of the subs each have 2 negatives and 2 positives so i would connect one negative and one positive together on the sub and then connect the remaining positive and negative to one channel on the amp, and repeat that for the next sub. |

|
Bronze Member Username: Rkjones84Post Number: 14 Registered: Aug-05 | yep |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rkjones84Post Number: 15 Registered: Aug-05 | because that would just be putting a four ohm load on each channel of the amp and i believe that amp can handle a 4 ohm load on each of the 2 channels right? |

Post Number: 1084 Registered: Jul-05 | Eddie's gonna say i'm getting on his case - but he & caraudio r the only 2 ppl i know of on this forum who will rec anything from Lanzar cause they both each own products from them . If thats what u guys wanna use then fine , no problemo but IMO the lowest brand i'd ever buy is Hifonics & those 2 models i chose above would suit u fine + its in the same price range ..............  |

Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 284 Registered: Jul-05 | You have two DVC 2 ohm Comp VR subs, correct? Kicker KX600.1. It does the 600w RMS at 2 ohms....just what you need. Wire in series/parallel. Should be pretty darn cheap on eBay. |

Silver Member Username: LanzarchampBakersfield, California United States Post Number: 105 Registered: Sep-05 | yup kicker amp is good, the only reason i like lanzar Rovin is because the products i use from them and there are only few that i use, work just as good as some of the high quality stuff out there, the setup i use, has loud @$$ bass and sounds clear, but i admit some lanzar products out there suck, but ive found the ones that do work and are rated exactly to the specs. i had the time to do this because my uncle owned a car audio shop and sold lanzar. i went there everyday after school and tried to find the best setup, everything you can think of, and the products i have sound like and your gonna hate me but they sound like i have 2 12" XXX, now i know this is crazy to you but mine are louder, i dont know why, everyhting i have just goes really well together and pounds. so Yes i like lanzar but only certain products by them. |

Bronze Member Username: Rkjones84Post Number: 16 Registered: Aug-05 | what about the visonik v317sx can that it says 2 ohms but does that mean it can handle a 2 ohm mono load? |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1262 Registered: Jul-05 | somehow i don't trust that Vis amp ...... why don't u search ebay 4 this http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14803 |

Bronze Member Username: Rkjones84Post Number: 17 Registered: Aug-05 | yeah man that is a cool amp but a little much for me...anyway is that vis 2 ohm mono stable |
