today i bought and i was lookin' for some decent sub!!

amplifier Kenwood KAC-7201:

150 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms

230 watts x 2 at 2 ohms

460 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms

stereo or bridged mono output

4-ohm stable in bridged mode

Tri-Way capable

MOSFET power supply

requires 4-gauge power and ground leads — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier

variable low-pass crossover (50-200 Hz at 18 dB per octave)

selectable high-pass crossover (150 Hz at 12 dB per octave)

selectable bass boost (12 dB at 90 Hz)

preamp- and speaker-level inputs

preamp outputs

cooling fan

13-5/8"W x 2-5/16"H x 11-1/4"D

since I cant get the Kicker CompVR 12-2ohm version because the local shop has run out of them, and they wont be available very soon!!

i thought i will get Kicker CompVR 12-4ohms

what do you think?!will it work ok?!how many wats will i be able to get from this kicker woofer??

can I take Kicker CompVR CVR12-4 12" instead!!

subwoofer:

mica-filled polymineral cone

Santoprene rubber surround

dual 4-ohm voice coils for wiring flexibility

frequency response 25-500 Hz

power range 50-400 watts RMS (200 watts RMS per coil)

peak power handling 800 watts

sensitivity 86.4 dB SPL

top-mount depth 5-13/16"

sealed box volume 1.0-4.6 cubic feet

ported box volume 1.75-2.25 cubic feet

if this does not work..the only alternative that i have is to buy Infinity Kappa subwoofer with 350RMS!!

is it possible to wire each channel and wire it to a voice coil so each coil sees 150 watts or 300 to the driver??? so that I could use at least 300wats from the kicker sub

I listen mostly to hip hop, and peaople say that Infinity subs are more SQ type of subs, however kicker tend to be more SPL.

Which one would you recommend?! or there is only one possibility--1.the current kicker sub is not compatible and i shall take the infinity sub??

well, if u take the dual 4 ohm kicker, u can either wire it to 2 ohm, or 8 ohm. at 8 ohms u wont get much power to that thing at all. at 2 ohms, u can get 230 watts to it. thats not much at all seeing as how it has a 400w rms. I'd just keep looking around for something else man. u'd be much better off.

thapimpfromchi - but can I take each channel and wire it to a voice coil so each coil sees 150 watts or 300 to the driver (run those 2 channels in mono )??? then I will have 300w right??

yea, thats risky business there. i mean, if u want to, go right ahead, but be prepared to spend some money on a new sub, if anything goes wrong. for the time being, i'd just play it safe, wire it to 2 ohms, and give it 230 watts. then when u get your next amp, get something that can give it the power it needs. :) good luck man

I would reccomend taking this amp back and getting something different. If anyone in your local area sells Rockford Fosgate I would get their Punch P3001 and get the Infinity 4 ohm dvc sub. This way you could wire the sub into 2 ohms and get the maximum power out of this amp. If your local dealer dosnt sell Rockford then tell us what other brands they sell so we can reccomend a good product.

You are going to need one hell of a good amp to push those two Comp VRs. I would suggest looking on line for a good Punch Power, like a Punch 601s, or 801s. You can find those fairly cheap online, just run a search. I was going to get those comps but I could not aford the new speakers/box, and a new Amp. So I went to Audiopipe and got a hell of a setup.

Infinity is better then Kicker. The Infinity subs go lower and are just plain better.
