Bronze Member Username: 20la20Franklin, TN U.S. Post Number: 47 Registered: Apr-06 | i got this amp running 3 10" Kicker CVRs...4 ohm dvc i think....well the amp is an 850.1 but im not sure its giving the subs enough power for their potential...is this amp big enough for these subs or am i underpowering them? also, my subs are really really loud inside my car...louder than most other systems...my friend has 3 10" JLs and mine is alot louder...but outside my car it doesn't travel but like 20 feet...just wondering if this amp is supplying these subs with enough power |

Try 2 on that amp or if you want the VX2200, I have one thats like Brand New for $300 Shipped if you want it. That will push them even at that load. 2.67ohm is what your at now most likely. The amp is like new and I am not using it right now. I have several of them. The vx1400 is about $250 shipped so its not worth getting over the 2200. Planet Audio Amps are awesome. that amp can blow two of those subs bc @ 1 ohm |

Silver Member Username: BradgmanGAlVeStoN, Tx Usa Post Number: 187 Registered: Jan-06 | Sell it. Yeah I will give you $100 for it. Thats what I get them for if you buy this one. I will not trade you an awesome amp for a crappie amp though for nothing. thanks |
Bronze Member Username: 20la20Franklin, TN U.S. Post Number: 52 Registered: Apr-06 | how about $200 for it...its only a couple of months old and has no signs of wear or tear...perfect condition...and i will only need the 1400...so ill arrange to send you $50 and my amp...deal? |
Silver Member Username: BradgmanGAlVeStoN, Tx Usa Post Number: 188 Registered: Jan-06 | sell it or return because I can get the 900 for like $100 new. You dont want the 1400, you want the 2200. The 1400 will not fully push them and the re-sale value is about $200 less. The Vx2200 is a $1000 amp. I have a link for that amp I will add on. Anyways Sell it or return it and make $200 and then it will only cost you $100 to upgrade to a $400 better re-sale value amp. you can sell it on ebay in two years and make money on it.

Bronze Member Username: 20la20Franklin, TN U.S. Post Number: 60 Registered: Apr-06 | yeah im not sure i trust their ratings either...im thinkin bout selling this amp and gettin a kicker to push my subs...i actually am tryin to sell my whole system and get a new one...know anyone lol? anyways, that 2200 is way too big..i only need 900 wrms and it gives 1200 at 2 ohms...so its too much |
Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 571 Registered: Dec-05 | it should push a good amount of power at 1 ohm that's clear, but that price, hmm? better get some hifonics man |
Silver Member Username: BradgmanGAlVeStoN, Tx Usa Post Number: 189 Registered: Jan-06 | Hifonics suck, its a lot more powerful than the kicker 1200/1 too. I have had both of them and the 1200/1 couldn't even blow the L7 15" but the planet audio was even @ 2ohms half way turned up. It was moving it a lot even on low power. Anyways, do what you want. Thanks |
