Question

Amp for 2 Kicker Comp 10's?

Answer 1

It's going to depend on your voice coil configuration.  Do you have single or dual voice coils?  Are they 2 or 4 ohm?  And definitely stay away from pyramid.

Answer 2

i agree dont go with pyramid, i have tried the cheap way out like buying a sony or buying one from a pawn shop, for those two speakers try the alpine 300 or 500 watt amp. they will be pushed to the limit and you will never need an amp ever again

Answer 3

a cheap one for like 100 will be a pyramid 3ooowatts at ebay look for it  even thought they are cheap they hit hard or a kicker z2500 for like 200-400 at ebay :] make sure to get at least 4 gauge wire!

Answer 4

it depends on if they are the 4ohm or the 8ohm version

they can handle 150watts RMS each so you need an amp with about 300watts RMS at the correct impedance (ohms)

two 4ohm SVC subs can give you impedances of 2 or 8ohms at the amp depending on how they are wired, and two 8ohm SVC subs will give you a 4ohm load at the amp

this link will help you with your sub wiring http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer...

-the lower the final impedance (ohms) at the amp the easier/cheaper it is to power but the lower the sound quality

also the amp needs to be from a CEA-compliant brand which means that is has been tested and produces or exceeds the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion (the main cause of sub damage is distortion)

here are the CEA-compliant brands

Alpine

Bazooka

Blaupunkt

Clarion

Eclipse

Infinity

JBL

JL Audio

JVC

Kenwood

Kicker

MTX

Pioneer
