Kicker CVT shallow 2 ohm or 4 ohm

It won't blow the subs if you don't turn it up just set the gains correctly, its called headroom, there's isn't a thing as "too much power" you just don't need to use all of it.

Why pay good money for an amp to run crap subs? besides your ears won't tell you any different at this price point. If you have the money then buy something better to begin with, otherwise just buy the cheap jaycar mono block, they are fine, i don't have any issues with the ones i've had. $300 is a very good price for them, wire up the 2 x svc 2 ohm subs and just be done with it. Your only going around in circles now.

Im getting a 4ohm kicker CVT and I am going to power it with a pioneer GM-D7500M amp

here is a link to the amp

GM-D7500M Mono Channel Class-D Car Amplifier (800W) - Pioneer Amplifier

This amp can be had for a very good price..

So 200Wrms at 4 ohm for one sub... Then 400Wrms at 2 ohm shared by two 4 ohm subs?

You're either really not getting things you're being told or you looked at the MAX power output of the amplifier.

it says 400 at 4oms and 800 at 2ohms

hey guys, in totally useless at this stuff but i have the 12' slimline kicker amp, thinks its the 400rms one, i power it with the kicker 400:1 mono block.... question is, i assume that is a 4ohm rating? is this amp able to switch to 2 ohm if i were to buy a second slimline sub? or will the the amp power the two subs ok with only 200rms to each?... like i said i have little knowledge on this and am keen to be knowlaged up a bit lol!

cheers heaps!

Just get the 2ohm versions and get the Jaycar amp!! It's not hard, and it's the best bang for buck your going to get. You haven't taken any of the advice so far, like most people who post in this forum. Do yourself a favour and just follow the advice, i know it's not the advice you were wanting to hear, but it's the RIGHT advice.
