which amp to use ?

i am going to be running a single alpine type s dual 4 ohm sub which amp would be better they are the same price..kicker dx350 or california profile ca600m>>>>>the kicker is 350x1@2ohms and the profile is 420x1@2ohms..please help i want to order this tomarrow......the louder the better !!!!!!

can you feel it ?????

Which amp has the larger fuse, the one with the larger fuse usually will have a higher output, regardless of what is pasted all over the heatsinks. Warranty may also be something to consider as well.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

the profile has three 20 amp fuses in it not sure about the kicker...the louder the better !!!!!!

can you feel it ?????

for the same price actually the kicker is $5 more but is factory refurbished wich would you recommend......the louder the better !!!!!!

Refurbished scares me as a dealer, especially Kicker and Rockford right now. Sometimes refurbs work great, other times they can come back to haunt you. Have a look around for other options. Consider a Concept cc500m ($399.00 CDN) (they are on sale right now and have a 3 year warranty) and I'm sure you'll get a whole pile more recommendations as well.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

the sub is rated 200 rms and 600 peak is the profile being rated at 420 x 1 rms going to be too much for this sub and should i use an external x-over as well i have a alpine cda-7893 wich has a subwoofer output on it..thanks for the advice guys rob (forbidden) you really know your $hit......the louder the better !!!!!!

You should only need about a 200 watt amp for this sub. The Profile amp's power rating is probobly over rated but it would still be giving that sub to much. The thing that kind of sux though is that there are no mono amps that ouput 200 watts at 2 ohms that i have found. Most will put out at least 300 watts RMS. Should've bought the single voice coil version of this sub. Also the fuse rating is just a rough peak power rating of an amp ,so I wouldnt use it to compare amps.

Concept makes a decent small 250w mono sub amp that is designed to operate at 2 ohm mono. Have a look also at a Rockford 200m. Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

i ordered the profile i will see what happens i have two of these subs so if i blow one i will figure something out when i put the second one in i guess..thanks again rob...the louder the better !!!!!!
