I dont think that will be enough power at all, I went to Cartoys to have them test my sub when I bought it, since it was preowned, and they put a 500/1 on it, and it wasnt enough power, and im sure that 500/2 is under rated, im guessing it lets around 600 watts at least, but, it wasnt enough, So im sure 937 isbt gonna do much for 2 of em.

the KX2500.1 is rated to run at 1 ohm so you will be fine if that is what you already have

Jeff, These are the only specs I can pull up, one of straight from Kicker, and it says 2500.1 @ 2ohms. Are you sure thats its rated at 1 ohm? Ive seen alot of your input on other posts, and I'd say you know your stuff, but on this one, I cant find anything about 1 ohm stability..

wow my bad!     I could have swore the KX2500 was a 1 ohm stable amp.
I would meter your coils when you have them all connected, I am still going to say your going to be fine.
The last W7 I hooked up was between 1.6-1.7ohm per coil...I have seen a few right on at 1.5 and a few at 1.4 per coil, but most have been 1.6 per coil.   Either way I have ran the KX and ZX amps at 1 ohm or slightly below without issues (with very very strong electrial)
so 1.6 will be fine, but with that amp it is power hungry reguardless of 2 ohm or 1.6 and you are going to have to provide the current that amp wants which will be in the range of 300+ amps of draw!

Yea, Ive checked one with my multi meter when i bought it and it was fluctuating between 1.6 - 1.7 the other is at 1.6 -1.8 on a field piece meter.I guess they both average at about 1.7 on all 4 coils. Is that good for my setup? By the way, no problem about the mistake, after you said that, I searched and searched because I didnt wanna say I though you were wrong and then you actually be correct. You know more about this stuff then I do.

We all have are moments where we forget things, I havent ran kicker amps in my vehicle since 2007 season.   I will have some of thier amps in my next project vehicle but all the amps will be 10 years old by then!
