Well.. the time has finally come. Im getting this sub box with two 10inch kicker cvr10. Im also going to be getting polk momo components for the front. Which amps should i get?

How much you looking to spend?

You could find a nice 4 channel that does 100-150 watts per channel, and bridged the rear channels for the subs...

Or find a nice 100-150 two channel, then another two channel that does 400-700 watts bridged...

 

wish i could bridge my amp

got a kicker 200.2 and when i bridge it the amp turns off. sounds great for a couple seconds that it's on

any ideas

 

Sure you have the channels wired up correctly?
The right impedance load on the amp?

how do i tell that?

That amp should run great bridged. Are you trying to power just the subs with it bridged? Are your subs dual 2 or dual 4 ohm voice coil? I am not sure if that amp will run at 2 ohms bridged so you probably need your subs wired to a 4 ohm final load.

 

sorry i'm have NO clue when it comes to wiring for subs.

i wired them differently from parrallel to series(the way the book said) and both ways shut the amp off.

yes only powering the sub.


not sure if the sub is 2 or 4 ohm

just know that the emblem on the face of the sub (10" kicker cvr) is red

got a pic of how it needs to be wired to handle the amp being bridged?

 

What do you suggest? Im hoping to spend 2-400 max on amps. SHould i go with two amps or just one?

 

There are tons of amp options but, $400 max might be a little low to power everything. You could look for a really good 4 channel amp, like Arc Audio 4150XXK, that puts out 85 x 4. Run the front speakers off 2 channel and bridge the rear for your subs. Or a small 5 channel amp like the 5150XXK. I am partial to Arc but, there are tons of really good amps. Your best bet in that price range may be used on ebay. Memphis makes a 5 channel amp that will put out 600 watts to the subs. The list goes on and on.
