Bronze Member Username: Jgelp7Post Number: 42 Registered: Dec-06 | It says that the amp isn't 1ohm stable. Would I be able to use it at 1ohm? |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveNj US Post Number: 3458 Registered: Jun-06 | I was suprised at FI's $$$ for their 18" Gives me ideas. You know that Kicker amp is refurbished, well of course you do. Not bad for the $$ overall. Good luck man. |

|
Bronze Member Username: Jgelp7Post Number: 43 Registered: Dec-06 | So get the dual 1ohm, wire it to 2ohm, and then if I ever upgraded amps I could wire it to 1ohm? |

Gold Member Username: J_baby15Kentucky Post Number: 1241 Registered: Feb-06 | dual 1ohm can b wired to .5ohm or 2ohm. Dual 2ohm can b wired to 1ohm or 4ohm. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jgelp7Post Number: 44 Registered: Dec-06 | Oh, now I get it. So if i got the dual 2ohm, I wouldn't be able to wire it to 2ohm? So I'd have to use the amp at 4ohm. I think I see now. |

Bronze Member Username: Jgelp7Post Number: 45 Registered: Dec-06 | ctmike, is this amp kit the best one for me? Complete 4 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit Item #: KOL-AK4 Category: Amp Installation Kits Weight: 7.2 lbs Price: $42.99 In Stock: Yes So then I can just bring the Sub, Amp, Box, and amp kit to a place and have it installed? |

Bronze Member Username: Jgelp7Post Number: 46 Registered: Dec-06 | The system components ring up to be around $450-$475 + however much it costs to install. Is anyone here familiar with installation or had it done professionally and know what the prices are like? I have the money for the system, but installation is pushing my budget. |

Gold Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 1800 Registered: Jan-06 | do the install yourself. Installing is fairly easy, and you can save $$ that way. My first install I did on my own, with no help, because I had just paid for a HU install 3 months earlier and didn't want to have to spend more. The people on here will be more than happy to help you with any information you need on how to do it yourself. |
