amp???
hello!
just wondering if anyone can recommend a good amp/monobloc to power 2 kicker cv-r subs (CompVR | KICKER) i listen mostly to rnb and shit like that....im open to buying from jaycar/jb hi-fi (will be cheaper from jb as i can get mates rates) strathfield whatever!
however i dont really wanna blow the budget......
ive got a 4 gauge kicker wiring set sooo
let me no what u recommend as i have no idea!
cheers
Ooh Yeah.
What's the budget as you didn't specify one lol.
what voice coils?
those subs come in dual 2 or 4ohm coils
this will play a factor in what amps are suitable

i run my 2 kickers off a jl audio A1400 class d monoblock. costs about 500 from jb when i checked yesterday. runs em pretty well.
they've got 4 voice coils (2 postive 2 negative) as for the ohms i have no idea ( ima nooobie when it ocmes to things like this, my mate recommened the subs and soo i got them...granted they were at mates rates as hes cousin works for car audio at a jb hi fi)what voice coils?
those subs come in dual 2 or 4ohm coils
this will play a factor in what amps are suitable
but still is there anyway of telling how many ohms?
brother bought one yesterday as well as some jl audio sub thumps pretty hard!i run my 2 kickers off a jl audio A1400 class d monoblock. costs about 500 from jb when i checked yesterday. runs em pretty well.
should at least say it on the box
cant find the box.....the receipt doesnt even mention anythign about it either.

should say on the back of the sub what Ohm it is, or even the model number.Originally Posted by pac3y

One way to check what ohms the voice coils are is to get a multimeter and set it to ohms, put each probe on one set of terminals, it should read either 3.5-4.0 ohms or 1.5-2.0 ohms.
HAHA really should of noticed this before!should say on the back of the sub what Ohm it is, or even the model number
its 2ohms per sub!!!
any suggestions for an amp/monobloc?

I assume you mean 2Ohm voice coil model. Are they the 12"?HAHA really should of noticed this before!

If your powering two you can wire them up to an amp with a 2Ohm load, So you need an amp that makes ~800wrms@ 2Ohms..
If you want to stay kicker a ZX750.1 would suit your needs
yehh both 12"
how much are they roughly?

I think that kicker amp rrp is around 500 but can be picked up much cheaper.
Dont have to stay kicker though, This pioneer amp would also suit nicely

My suggestion is to do some shopping around. All you need is a mono amp 800wrms @ 2Ohm.
thankkks budddy!
seeing that you mentioned it i wouldnt mind keeping it all kicker...however will shop around check out a few places as well as ebay!
okay bought the kicker zx750.1 monoblock....now for the hard part. i dont no how to wire the subs let alone connecting it to the monoblock.
on the back of the subs it has 2 positive and 2 negative (on both of them) inputs for speaker cable.
ive managed to do everything else, run power cable remote wire and ground cables. i just have no diea to how wire the subs and connect them to the monoblock!
help would be greatly appreciated!

Use a combination of series and parallel wiring
Here is a diagram should make it easy
finally does anyone no where i can get one of those things that are always on the side of a sub box? the bit that the speaker cable goes into to tidy up/hide the speaker cable that run from the sub?

Jaycar, Dick smiths n strathfields definitely sell them, prob JB-Hifi and Ebay too.
koool koool!
thanks a heap.....will post back when everything is in!
