Ok...i jus want to put a single kicker compr 10 4 ohm sub in my car....i dont want super bass...ive had that b4...i jus want a regular setup...if anyone can help...what amp would b good for this...i know that wiring my sub in a parrelel can make it a 2 ohm load...is this possible with one sub...please help...these are dual voice coils

One of the amps im looking at is the kicker cx 600.1 but it says it can b wired 300 watts at 4ohms n 600 at 2 ohms....rms is 400 for this sub

So the sub is a dual 4ohm sub? if that's the case then yes it can be wired to be a 2 ohm load. That amp is plenty for that sub, rather have a little more power than you need than not enough.

The Kicker CompR is a dual voice coil subwoofer. It has two 4 ohm voice coils which can be wired in parallel for a 2 ohm final load on the amp. The newer CompR is a little different though. It actually has a switch on the side of the woofer that does the work for you. You flip the switch to 2 ohm or flip the switch to 8 ohm.

*The subwoofer pictured is the dual 2 ohm version with choices of 1 or 4 ohm final load. Same sub. Different version.*

Flip it to 2 ohm and then buy any amp that output roughly the RMS figure of the subwoofer. It doesn't have to be exact and there's 10 million other variables that come into play to determine true power handling of your exact setup. The CX600.1 is fine.

I think a Rockford R500-1 would do the trick. Or if you do not want to spend that much money you can always go with a cheaper amp like Planet Audio if you just want something kicking. I would get the Planet Audio AC3000.1 because that would get you like 400-500 rms turned all the way up. But I think the R500-1 is 500 rms at a 2ohm load.

Here is the R500-1. You may be able to find it cheaper but it is 500 rms at 2ohms. I think this would be your best option. http://www.amazon.com/Rockford-Fosgate-R500-1-500-Watt-Amplifier/dp/B001P86SMK
