kicker amps are good and keep in mind you could squeeze out more power at two ohm stereo out of that amp. hope your replacing that volfenhag amp with the kicker.

I was planning on just doing quick trolling this week as I am very busy, but I need to jump in here to say this.

There's absolutely zero good reason to run a interiors at two ohm stereo to "squeeze out more power."

Doubling of power gives 3db gain. Unless fastin's goal is to make his hearing nothing in the quickest amount of time, he will never ever appreciate the difference between 125x2 and 250x2 for interior speakers.

He has a greater chance of hearing the reduced control and increased distortion from this little "squeeze."

Buy a 4-channel amplifier so you can control the fade. There are plenty of 75x4 amplifiers out there. Run it at 4-ohms. It will be more than adequate. If you're going to throw the fade out the window and run that kicker at 2-ohms you may as well keep the Volfenhag.

Try again on the amplifier is my advice.
