Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 146 Registered: May-06 | matt, why would u suggest the RF if 4 ohm and the Kicker if 2ohm, does it matter the ohm of the sub as to which amp to get? Arent they both 2 ohms stable? |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Georgia, DiRtY SoUtH ... 2 18 SX w/ ... Post Number: 204 Registered: Jan-06 | the kicker is 1000w @ 2ohm the RF is 1000w @ 1ohm "does it matter the ohm of the sub as to which amp to get?" yes because the impeadance(ohm)of the subs determines what impeadance(ohm) your amp will be run at, which determines how much power you will get "Arent they both 2 ohms stable?" yes they are both 2ohm stable, but the RF puts out its rated power at 1ohm, not 2 |

Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 150 Registered: May-06 | Yea right after I posted that, I looked it up instead of guessing and found out that it was 1 ohm stable, but didnt want to repost cuz my comp is slow =/ This info is for a friend whose deciding between amps, any information you have is useful. ThxX |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Georgia, DiRtY SoUtH ... 2 18 SX w/ ... Post Number: 208 Registered: Jan-06 | if his subs are dual 2 like you said earlier then go with the kicker.....kicker makes great products and their amps usually will put out more power than what they are rated at |

Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 156 Registered: May-06 | I want to get the biggest Kicker amp i can but still use my existing 4gauge wire. What amp will work for this? SX900.2? ZX/KX850.2? ZX750.1? |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Georgia, DiRtY SoUtH ... 2 18 SX w/ ... Post Number: 213 Registered: Jan-06 | out of the three amps you listed in your above post, only the ZX750.1 will work with the subs you have.....I think you should be able to get away with 4gauge on this amp |

Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 163 Registered: May-06 | Prior to my upgraded system, i was running 2 dual voice coil Kicker COmp VR's at 4ohms each on a zx450.2, which runs at 2 ohms stable i believe. If that ran ok, why wont the others run ok, like the sx900.2/zx850.2. It sounded good with that setup before, is there any danger to getting a 2ohm stable amp when a 1ohm stable amp is required? |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Georgia, DiRtY SoUtH ... 2 18 SX w/ ... Post Number: 215 Registered: Jan-06 | Your current pair of dual 2 subs can be wired to 8ohm, 2ohm, and .5ohm. The ZX750.1 makes its full power at 2ohm, that is why you want it. The sx900.2/zx850.2 make their full power at 4ohm, which you cannot get 4ohm with your subs. That is why those two amps are not desirable for your setup. "is there any danger to getting a 2ohm stable amp when a 1ohm stable amp is required?" no there is no danger in getting a 2ohm stable amp when a 1ohm stable is required, but you just cant run that2 ohm stable amp at 1ohm |

Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 165 Registered: May-06 | im referring to 4 ohm subs not 2 ohm, im switching subs on ya |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Georgia, DiRtY SoUtH ... 2 18 SX w/ ... Post Number: 216 Registered: Jan-06 | alright, if you have two dual 4ohm subs.....then you can wire the pair to 4ohm or 1ohm. The sx900.2/zx850.2 make their full power at 4ohm, so those are the two amps you would want. Do you understand now?? |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 166 Registered: May-06 | Somewhat, but the sx900.2 and the zx850.2 are 2 ohm stable, not 1. Should i just get the zx750.1? |

Silver Member Username: Mash4kashLafayette, LA Post Number: 209 Registered: Feb-06 | zx750.1 is 2 ohm stable too |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 169 Registered: May-06 | $h!T! What amp is 1 ohm stable that puts our about as much as the zx750, without going past the zx1000.1.. Matt, do you have a diagram that shows how to wire up an amp to a 4ohm load, instead of a 1 ohm load coming from 4ohm subs. Also, if its wired to 4ohm load, wouldnt this be less power than if wired to 1 ohm load? |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Georgia, DiRtY SoUtH ... 2 18 SX w/ ... Post Number: 217 Registered: Jan-06 | The sx900.2 and the zx850.2 are 2 ohm STEREO stable, which means they are also 4ohm mono stable. These amps will put out the most power at 4ohm mono. You can wire your pair of dual 4ohm subs to 4ohm by doing this: http://img453.imageshack.us/my.php?image=twodvc4subswiredto4ld9.jpg The zx750.1 is 2 ohm MONO stable. You cannot wire your pair of dual 4ohm subs to 2ohm mono. That is why this amp would not be a good choice. Do you understand now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
