Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 1770 Registered: Dec-06 | You're right and all we can do at this point is guess what impedance they are but the only ones that will work with that amp are the 2 and 8 ohm models. |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 1775 Registered: Dec-06 | Like I said above you're not going to be able to bridge that amp with the single 4 ohm vc woofers. The best you can do with what you have is to run one channel to each sub which will give you around 125 RMS to each although that Kicker is underrated so realistically you are looking at around 150-175 RMS to each. |
