Kicker2500.1?

Bronze Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 28 Registered: Jan-06 | I recently bought a kicker 2500.1 amp rated 2500 watts rms at 2 ohms Iam going to use it to power 2 alpine 10" type X's dual 4's wired in series in a dual 10" ported box. I would get great bass with great SQ what u guys think. i was also wondering how good the 2500.1 amp is, is kicker underrated or overrated? |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 6914 Registered: Jul-05 | kicker amps r underrated u cannot set up both subs 2 run @ 1ohm cause that amp cannot do 1ohm load so ur only choice is 1250W x 1 @ 4 ohms retun that amp if u can - u should have ordered a orion 2500D which does 2500wrms @ 1ohm ... |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3365 Registered: Oct-05 | the birht certificate on kicker amps gives you how much rms it puts out at 14.4v. if you don't have the proper charging system you will never see that power. andy.....you bought the wrong amp for those subs. however i know this guy that did wire it to 1ohm and didn't have any problems. kickers make good amps so i think it can take it. |

Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 626 Registered: Jan-06 | All od my Kicker amps (sx series) are measured RMS @ 13.8V, it's in the back of the manual. My amps run a max temp of between 90-110 deg F, very cool and I have tried it at .5 ohm when it said 1ohm min and it didn't even flinch. Try it out the most that may happen is that it would go into protection and then you would know to get rid of it. Polo. |

Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 627 Registered: Jan-06 | Couldn't you wire the subs in a series/parallel setup? Wire one sub in series to get 8 ohm and wire the other in parallel to get 2 ohms, now wire the two parallel to get a total of 2 0hms? My math ain't the greatest, Polo..  Hmmmm, tow coils in series to give an 8ohm load not parallel wire a 4ohm to get 4 ohms now parallel wire another 4ohm to give you 2ohms? |

Silver Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 836 Registered: Oct-04 | polo how long did u run at .5 ohm? did it get hot? i wonder if the 2500.1 could run at 1 ohm. i had a kicker guy tell me that the 2500.1 is just two 1200.1's strapped internally and thats why its two ohm instead of one. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3371 Registered: Oct-05 | i used to have 2 dual 2ohm subs wired in parallel to my kicker kx1200.1 for like about a month and a half and i never experienced any problems. |

Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 629 Registered: Jan-06 | You will experience a higher current draw for sure just knock the gain down a lot. It actually does look like two 1250's inside, the only thing I can say is try t, they run ultra efficient and cool, mine is cold all the time and got a little warm at .5 ohm not much but I did notice a big increase in current draw so be sure to cut the gain.
