Hey guys
I want to buy the KICKER S18 but I don't know which amplifier to buy or what I should buy to make it work the right way.
Any suggestion will be appreciated thanks

Get two of those Kicker 2500.1's and connect one to each VC.

Yeah.. That's probably the best thing to do!...

ORRRR!!!!

You can get cheap and buy
(4) Boss Ripper-D 3000Watt Amps and put 2 on each voice coil... and Bridge all 4 together... you'll get about (2200)*(4) 8800 watts ( 8200 rms )

my 1000d amp had more fuses thant that, 40X4= 160a!
if u want 10,000 watts totatl?? I highly doubt that been a RMS value, so if u want easy 5000rms, just get 2 orion 2500ds

HAHA!... That's awesome B ... I have family in Greensboro & Fayetteville! I should be there this coming up summer!

Cam - My boss amp pushs 2100 or 2200 rms But since I have 2, and they are dataly connected and bridged, I have a Max 6000 watts, w/ 4600 rms b/c it drops to .5 ohm

My amp also has no fuse, has to be externally fused as well.

Mine will draw 120a at full tilt but is 2000rms, Dark Blue by Helix.

DJ,

boss amps wont put out anywhere near their rated power...i have owned and installed quite a few.

i had a boss "2800w" amp once and i swapped it out for a jbl bp600.1...the JBL killed the boss on every level.

also...one way to kinda guess-tamate how much an amp will put out is to do multiply fuse rating by input volage.

4*30= 120
120A * 14.4V = 1728w (and that is if the amp is 100% efficient...and nothing is 100% efficient)

this would be a better guess:
1728 * 80% = 1382.4w

Thats interesting. I have a kicker kx600.1, It has two 30 amp fuse. It benches around 725 rms @ 2 ohms. So I cant see how your amplifier is able to put out 2200 rms @ 2 ohms(three times mine) with only twice the fuseing. Doesnt seem mathematicly sound to me. Peace

No.. It's 2200 @ 1ohm ...

I own 4 JBL amps
JBL1201.1
JBL600.1
JBL300.1
JBL80.1

They are UNDERRATED.. The 1201.1 says 1374 rms it's really 1700+ rms...

they are kind of difficult to find, but the older style(big and black) directed 2400d is comparable to the orion 2500d.
