siucsaluki11 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Posted June 20, 2012 if you fed those kickers 1500RMS you would fry them quick. They are ment to take 800RMS as a pair. As long as you design the box right, you should be able to put 1k to them without hurting them, but 1500 is a bit much.

BrandonT94 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Posted June 20, 2012 could i push 1200 watts to them and still be fine? Quote
siucsaluki11 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Which model, which VCs...cuz you say 1 ohm, is that dual 2s wired to 1 ohm each, or dual 4s wired to 2 ohms each, then parallel to 1 ohm final load? Personally, i wouldn't do that to them...you can buy a 1200w amp and leave the gain turned down, headroom is always a good thing to have. I personally am not a huge kicker fan...Ive had a set of clarion PXW1251s for about 4-5 years now, rated for 500wRMS a piece. Currently I'm feeding them around 600 a piece. To be honest, if they blow they blow, they are 5 years old, one has a hold in the surround that i sealed with silicone 1 hour before a comp back when i had my blazer (hit a 141 at 37Hz on music that day). If and when they blow, I'm going with a single 15, dual 2, that can handle 1700wRMS daily. Again, i would advise against pushing them 50% past rated power....thats ballsy... Give them a good clean 800w RMS and be happy (1kw RMS MAX!!!! i wouldn't feed these more than 500RMS each if were you, and even then, id stick closer to the 400, if you want to run 1200w, buy new subs), build a large ported box to get the most out of them....when i had my blazer, my box was ~4.2cuft i think, tuned around 32Hz, with ~16 in of port per cube.... Current box is ~3.8 net, 14.5 in/cube, 34Hz, but its in a trunk...it doesn't hit nearly as hard as my blazer did, but it still hits....
