What's up,

I have 3 subs, 2 Kicker VR 8's and 1Kicker VR 12. I want to be able to switch between the pair of 8's and the single 12 on one amp. The amp is a Kicker ZR 360.

Thanx

you'll have to put each configuration on switches, so you can turn them on and off as you please. just put the switch in the speaker wires of each config.

Is the final impedence the same for the two configurations? The 8's are at a 83 sensitivity and the 12 is at a 86.4 sensitivity. If I'm not mistaken, the 8's would need about twice the power as the 12. If your going to leave the amp gain at one setting during switches, then it should be set for the 12.
