I was wondering if a kicker zx300.1 amp would power a kicker compvr cvr12 (dual 4ohm) efficiently? I know its 400 rms but will it be ok? How will it sound in a ported or a sealed box?

ps- trying not to put so much strain on my weak @$$ alternator.

sub - http://www.cardomain.com/item/KIC05CVR124

thanks all...! (=

you wont be puttin alot of strain on ur alt if you gave it the full 400 watts.

that would be great to push it. get a DVC 2 ohm sub and it says it does 430 watts or around there @ 2 ohms.

but yes, the zx will power it properly and will give it prolly more than 400 watts

hey bassman... on the kicker website. i looked at the manual for the cvr12 and it says if im going ported (1.75^3 box).. it says to give it 300 watts rms...=\ .. so im not sure which one i should get... since im gettin a ported box. i dont wanna over power and blow the sub.. and also my previous system would dim my battery soo much... thats why im looking for a small system that wont dim or do ne thing to my lights, and alternator .. :D thanks man

its fine. if you got that amp, you wouldnt blow ur sub. and u wouldn't dim anything. not wit 400-500 watts. definently port the box, and when it says 300 rms for a ported box, that shouldnt be listened to... port it and give it the rec. rms
