Hey, i have 2 Kicker CompVR 12" in a sealed box but i need help finding an amp to go good with them! I've found a couple and i'd like some input. or sugestions on where to find them the cheapest!!

The 1st is the Kicker ZX650.4

The 2nd would be 2 of the Kenwood KAC-8103D

kicker 750.1 would be a good choice. or just look for another that'll do the power you want at 2ohm.

that kicker 4 channel u posted will do the job well IF the subs are single 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm.

otherwise you need to get a mono or a 2 channel bridged at 4 ohm

ctmike is right the kicker zx750.1 will match up fine. I've seen 3 setups just like it and they sound good. Set the gain on your amp to the volts of your head unit and no worries of anything burning up.

LOL...thats soooooooooooooooooooooooooo not true....If you adjust all of your levels correct you can underpower a sub all day...and nothing will happen

Kenwood amps = crap



Yes it is ideal for the amplifier to have more power than you actually need. But you can use a smaller amp and it will work just fine, it just won't be as loud. Setting the gain correctly is the key. Most blown speakers happen because people crank up the gain on an amp thats too small and clip the subs.
