Whats a good size amp for 1 15" kicker comp to get the most power?

Question

i have a 15" kicker comp and a p.o.s konaki 800 watt amp right now i want something more but that will make it hit hardest..i was told a rockford fosgate 1500 watt??

Answer 1

it depends if it is the 4ohm version or the 8ohm version

whatever one it is you will need an amp with about 250watts RMS @ the correct impedance (4 or 8ohms) and is also CEA-compliant like the subs

CEA-compliant means that the amp makes or exceeds its advertised wattage with minimum distortion and the subs can handle the advertised RMS wattage

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

(stay away from the no name brands because they are very over rated and you don't know their real wattage, you could be over or under powering your sub)

Answer 2

a sluger 3400 that 1 will bump

Answer 3

Personally I would get an amp that would run just a small amount RMS about the speakers RMS so that it wouldnt overheat as much and for clearer music from the sub a capacitor would help

Answer 4

the rockford would work well. Also look into the kicker 1200.1x and the hifonics bxi1608d amps.  they will make that 15" bang
