Can Performance Teknique Amp Power Kicker S15D Sub?

Can my amp power my sub? Amp: Performance Teknique ICBM772 Sub: Kicker Solobaric S15D

Not a good match at all, regardless of if your Solobaric is an L5 or L7. You're amp is not 2ohm Mono stable. And with only (1) 4ohm DVC you can only safely wire into a 2 or 8 ohm mono load. Solobaric S15L5 2 or 4 ohm DVC 750RMS 1500Peak Solobaric S15L7 2 of 4 ohm DVC 1000RMS 2000Peak Performance Teknique ICBM772 125 x 2 @ 4ohms 175 x 2 @ 2ohms 350 x 1 @ 4ohms mono/bridgedSquirrel

You'll never see the "Max Power" output. That rating is usually obtained with an ungodly amount of amperage, and it's only stable for a fraction of a second before the amp destroys itself. You always want to base recommendations/reviews on the RMS rating (constant power output rating) of an amp. Here's a link to your manual. Kicker still had some documentation on their discontinued D series solobarics. S15D 2, 4, or 8 ohm SVC Should be around 375RMS (wasn't listed, but the RMS is usually around half of the Peak rating) 750Peak With those specs and you saying you have the 4ohm model, then your amp will work. Bridge the sub and you'll get the 350 x 1 @ 4ohms mono/bridged rating. It's a small underpowering, but not so bad that it would cause any problems.Squirrel

Thanks for the help wvsquirrel. I've been reading other people's posts and it seems as if you're always helpful. Keep up the good work!

no prob, glad to be of help. If you stay on this forum long enough you'll start to notice more people changing too. When I first started posting here I had no clue how to wire a DVC, set a crossover, or how different manufacturer's had changed over the years (some for the better, some for the worse). For the last 12 years, I've always been a die-hard Rockford fan and stuck in my own little world/way of setting up car audio systems. But seeing the other opinions here have helped open my eyes to more than just what Rockford has offer. I'm always willing to pass on the knowledge I've aquired here, as are most of the others. Some people can fly off the handle at times, but everyone's entitled to a bad day every now and then!!! Again, glad to be of helpSquirrel
