I looked at the Crutchfield advisor but I am still unsure of what amp to use to power my setup. My buddy tells me I need a larger amp then I was going to buy. I was going to order the KX650.4 by Kicker to power 2 CompVR 10" Kicker subs. I would bridge it to 2 channel and get the 325 x 2 RMS. He is telling me I need more power than that because of the dual Voice coil. Could you please advise me on what I need. Thanks

 

Your friend is an idiot. Whether a sub is dvc or not has nothing to do with power.

From what I've researched on those subs 325rms is enough a piece, but why buy a 4 channel amp to do a sub amp's job?

 

that one bridged is 325 x 2 at 4 ohm. The other kicker amp is was looking at was 295 x 2 at 4ohm for the 2 channel amp. Just seemed I could get a little more power from the 4 channel if I bridged it

 

Are you looking at the same series amps and are you sure you have your numbers right?

Usually when you bridge a 4 channel amp you can ___x2@2ohms not 4ohms

 

As got_no_sol mentioned, why use a 4ch amp?
You would be better off with a mono sub amp. like a SX650.1 650W rms into 2 ohms, a SX1250.1 625W rms into 2 ohms, [1250W into 1 ohm], or the ZX750.1 750W rms into 2 ohms, that is of coarse if you have the CVR10 2ohm DVC. 94

 

the SX series amps are insanely priced, which KX series amp would you reccomend to power the 2 CVR10s, I could get the 2 ohms since I havnt ordered yet. I was looking at the KX850.2 also.

 

Sx amps ftw.

 

The older KX series amps I would recommend would be the KX600.1 or the KX1200.1 both are 600W rms into 2 ohms, so you would use the CVR10 DVC 2 ohm subs, the KX850.2 is 1 X 850W rms into 4 ohms, you would use the DVC 4 ohm subs. 94

 

so I broke down and went with the SX 600x2, that was the suggested amp from a couple dif sites. found it brand new for 400 shipped. didn't end up being that bad.

just ordered cvr10 4ohms, hopefully they hit hard with that way you described. Thanks alot for the info!!
