Hi! I need to know which amp to get to power my kicker L5's correctly. I have 3 of them all in the same box and they are bridged. They are 600 rms a piece, so 1800 total watts between the 3 subs.
I do not know if the subs are 2 or 4 ohms, all I know is that they are bridged. So, not knowing what ohms the subs are is making it hard for me to chose the right amp. I want to get an amp that can put out enough power for the subs, even if it has to be wired at 4 ohms. But to find an amp that puts out 1800 watts at 4 ohms is tough because they are so expensive. That would be like a 6,000 watt RMS rated or more amp. You know what I'm saying? I hope my subs can be wired at 2 or 1 ohm but wouldnt it matter what ohms the subs are themselves? Here are the specs of the amp I was lookin at
Type: Mono Block
1-Ohm Power Rating 1x2000
2-Ohm Power Rating 1x1300
4-Ohm Power Rating 1x650
So ,I have 2 possibilities with this amp- 2000 watts (Which would be perfect for my 3 kickers, but I dont know if I can have the amp wired to my 3 subs at one ohm? Can anyone answer this? Does it matter what ohms my subs are, or can I wire it at one ohm regardless, because that is what I would want to do. Or maybe it would be better to wire it at 2 ohms to have less strain on my electrical system (I am having 0 guage wire installed, but not a HO alternator and no extra battery at this time) I have a 92 lexus SC400. It says the amp puts out 1300 at 2 ohms. That would be PERFECT for me, I wouldnt care if the subs are a little underpowered. They are WAY underpowered right now on a 300 watt amp, so this Hifonics should be much better that what I have now. But my other question is...if i cant wire at 1 ohm, can I have it wired at 2 ohms? And since I dont know the ohms of my subs, can you tell me if it would work either way, meaning no matter if I have 2 or 4 ohm subs (sorry its hard for me to explain this and I know little about it, but I just need to know if I can wire this amp to my 3 subs at either 1 or 2 ohms...to make a long story short) I dont want to wire it to 4 ohms because then you see I only get 650 watts RMS (divided by 3 subs is only about 200 watts a piece. That is not much) So, please help me here and is this amp good choice for my situation? Thanks a million
