Need a recommendation on what amp to purchase.?
All,
I am looking for some advice on what Amp I should get to drive the below configuration.
I have 2 kicker CRV 12s - DVC 4ohm in a sealed box (approx 1.15 cf each side) that will ride in the back of a Ford mini-van. The subs have been wired so that when connected in parallel to a mono-amp they will present a 4 ohm load.
I have been considering a Rockford prime 500.1 amp, but need the advice of someone who knows.. I have to remain in somewhat of a budget – I have 5 kids and a wife to keep happy – but I am willing to save for what is needed.
Note .. as I do have 5 kids .. we listen to all types of music, from gospel to rap.
Thanks for your time!
That amp only makes 320 watts @ 4 ohms... Thats 160 watts a sub. The kickers can handle much more.
The best match would be a an amp that makes 800 watts RMS. This can be a 2 channel amp that is bridged, or a 1 ohm stable mono amp.
You dont NEED to give them 800 watts, but that will maximize performance. Giving them 500 watts (250 a piece) is a pretty good tradeoff.
