Question

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3867_Kicker+DCVR122.html

R these subs 600 rms watts a piece or r they 600 watts for both of them together? and how many rms watts amp would i need?

Answer 1

Give the subs at least 350 watts for both but no more than 700-800rms. Kickers CVR tensil leads are quite prone to seperating from the cone under overexcursion. And in a ported box, subsonic  frequencies can send your sub into an excursion frenzy.

Answer 2

the site has the wrong specs for the subs

both subs can handle 400watts RMS for a total of 800watts RMS @ 2ohms

so the amp needed will have about 800watts RMS @ 2ohms and is also CEA-compliant (which means that it produces or exceeds the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion)

here are the top CEA-compliant brands

Alpine  

Bazooka  

Blaupunkt  

Clarion  

Eclipse  

Infinity  

JBL

JL Audio  

Kenwood

Kicker  

MTX  

Pioneer

Polk Audio

Rockford Fosgate  

Sony

Answer 3

tthey are 600w rms together. get an 800w rms amp.
