Yes, they are efficient speakers and will sound good with as little as 50 watts. The main point was not to trash Jensen (although they are near the top of the list that deserves to be trashed) but to warn you to NOT hook up seperate amps to the dual voice coils!

I have definatly got a 15" kicker CVR coming and if I get a new amp I want it to be able to run both coils and no bigger than 800 watts total, Anyone know a good amp at a good price I could get thats dependable? Then later Im getting 2 15" kicker comps and that takes 500 watts each. Maybe someone could find me a good way of running them at a maximum of 2 amps hopefully, I could hook up 3.

What do you know about this amp: Kenwood KAC-7201

800 watt Total Output at 2 Ohm • Cast Aluminum Heat Sink w/Sandblast Finish • Copper EE-Core Power Transformer?

Kenwood amps are OK, much better than Jensen. How much do you want to spend on an amp?

By the way, the Kenwood KAC-7201 is rated at 150 watts RMS per channel. Into a bridged 4-ohm load, it is rated at 460 watts total.

I'm willing to spend up to $200 That Kenwood amp says its rated at 800 watts total at 2 ohm bridged

I also found this 1 to: Rockford Fosgate Punch 501S

500 watts RMS x 1 bridged • variable high-pass/low-pass crossover • wired remote control of Punch Bass Totals at 1000 watts, This one might be to much watts for my sub.. But if I did get it I would put levels way down This 1 costs 199.00 where I see it and it has 1 year warranty

Well, sorry but that Kenwood amp is NOT really rated at 800 watts, that is a "peak" number that they list and is largely meaningless. The only amplifier ratings that are useful are 12V RMS values. The KAC-7201 is rated at 460 watts bridged. Period. You also refer to "keeping the gain down" in order to limit amplifier power. This is wrong. Input sensitivity (aka "gain") is not a volume control and any amp can produce full rated power at any "gain" setting. You cannot limit power that way. For $200 you are pretty much limited to 500 watt amps or less (like the RF you list). Get one you like and be sure to set it up correctly.
