Ok so i have one 2 ohm dvc kicker sub that is 600 rms what amp would you get a non cea compliant 600 rms mono amp or a non cea compliant 760 rms amp 2 channel

Either one will work, the 2ch has the advantage of more RMS power but the mono block makes a better sub amp. 94

 

Ok so do you think i should get the 2 channel amp since the rms advantage because its not cea compliant or will i be safe

 

How many watts would they be pushing in reality or is there another brand that i can buy thats cheap like this and is cea compliant

 

Like I said, either one will work, if your looking for something else, look for a mono block amp with 600W-750W RMS.

No matter what amp you get, as long as you do not drive the amp into constant clipping and the sub is in a proper enclosure, you will not hurt the sub.94

 

Yea thanks i just didnt know if i should get the 600 watt one since the rms for the sub is 600 or to get 760 but i thought the 760 would be too powerful or no?

 

It's better to be overpowered then it is to be underpowered.

Keep in mind that your sub is 600W continuous and 1200W peak, also remember music is dynamic, even when volume is cranked up it is very seldom amp will make it's RMS wattage, just on the loudest peaks of the music and then only for a sec. the rest of the time the amps output will be less then rated RMS output and the average RMS output will be less then 50% of rated RMS output.

Also keep in mind the amp has a gain control so you can adjust the amps output to match what your sub will handle, that will also depend on the cabinet the sub is in, and how well it is constructed, in fact I would be far more concerned with the sub box then the amp running the sub. 94

 

I built the box so its ok built to kicker specs

 

why run it at 4ohms? get an amp rated for 600 or so rms @ 1ohm. whatever you deside id go with class D not an a/b multi channel

 

Because at 4 ohms you will get much better SQ then a 1 ohm.

I do agree that a mono block sub amp would be better then a 2ch amp. 94

 

the ohms load has nothing to do with soundquality as long as your getting a clean signal...

 

LOL, look up "dampening factor" 94

 

lol dampening factor has nothing to do with SQ. id like you to listen to the same sub/same enclosure with an amp @ 1 then @ 4. same rms. bet you couldnt say wich is wich

 

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...KAC-9104D.html or that amp since its cea 2006 compliant but its 100 rms less than i need

 

Bet you a dollar I can.

I would still go with the first mono block... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1218012127692, just for the extra 100W. 94
