2 PolkSR124-dvc + 08 Kicker zx1000.1

Amit1591

hey im new at this site and just had a couple of questions. i recently just purchased 2 polk sr124-dvc's and was wondering if i can wire them both at 2ohm loads each to my one 08 kicker zx1000.1 amp resulting in a 1ohm load. Would it be possible, im new at this and wasn't quite sure. I know the parallel wiring is capable resulting in a 4ohm load but then my amp would only be pushing out 500 watts to both subs put together. I want it to be 2ohms each so both of the subs get 500watts each instead of only 250watts each.

Yes - a pair of 4 ohm DVC subs when wired in parallel will result in a 1 ohm load for your amp. Just make sure your amp can handle a 1 ohm load.

Amit1591

oo kk thnx. I tought it would work just the fact that im not sure if my 08 Kicker zx1000.1 amp is stable at 1ohm loads.

I'd check into that before you wire it up.

Amit1591

yea its not capable of 1ohm. Well another question i got a Alpine PDX1.600 and that runs 600watts at 2 or 4 ohms, so would I be better off just hooking that up at 4ohms since the zx is only pushing out 500 for me at 4 ohms.

no its not, alpine will obviously work better, better on 1 sub also

Amit1591

thanx, btw does anyone know of any good 1 ohm stable amps.

cadenceclipse

oh yeah, sure do... u got a price limit or certain specifications or power requirements?(suppose your trying to run 2 srs).... cadence ia7, nuff said

Amit1591

Just somethin decent not to pricey i got 2 SR's and 4 guage wiring kit

Check out the new Polk Audio PA amps. The PA1200.1 would work perfect with a pair of SR subs. Im running my SR124 off of one right now and its a hoss.

Amit1591

kk thnks Ill try that

I'd go with the Polk I never liked anything from Cadence

Hopefully this summer I'll be running my 2 SR subs in parallel off of a pa1200.1. I wan't to upgrade my momo amps.
