I Have a 97 Honda Civic i went and got a system install i have 2 Kicker CVR 12's and a memphis Class D Power Reference 16-PR 1.500..I cant find wat the amp is pushing....Is it a 1500? And i wanna know is this good enough for my speakers.....thanks for any answers
 
Look at the fuse rating on the amp. Whatever it is, multiply it by 12 and thats what it pushes. The equation to figure watts is, Volts x Amps = Watts. So in car audio, your battery is 12 volts, so 12 x's your fuse rating will give your answer :)


Depending on what the impedance of your woofers are (ohms) the amp will do 150 x 1 @ 4ohm 300 x 1 @ 2ohm and 500 x 1 @ 1 ohm. Your woofers are probably 4 ohm, so if you wire them in parallel you can get 2 ohms out of your amp and feed them 300 watts which will not be enough. I just checked, the cvr 12 wants 400 rms, so you gonna need a much bigger amp. :/
