Car subwoofer and amplifier. HELP?

Question

Hi,

Im thinking of getting a KICKER S18X4 18" SOLO X 10000 WATT SUBWOOFER

and i cant find a perfect amplifier for it.

Impedance (OHMS): 4 Ohm Dual Voice Coil

Max Rec Amplifier Power (WATTS PEAK/RMS): 10000/5000

So i need an amp that is mono 5000 rms at 4 Ohm.

can anyone tell me what amp i should get? should i get 2 amps? what models? thanx

Answer 1

you dont need an amp that is 5000 rms @ 4 ohms you need an amp that is 5000 rms @ 2 ohm. the sud is a dual voice coil sub so its two 4 ohm voice coils on it. that will give you a 2 ohm load at the amp.

Answer 2

get 2 sony EXPLOD 1000 watt 1 channel amps. and wire them in series to your dual coils on your sub.
