Thursday, November 06, 2008 - 20:38 GMT Im going to be purchasing a single 15" type R and was wondering what amp i should get with it. I was looking at the kicker 750.1 and the hifonics bxi1200d. Budget is about $250 shipped for the amp. I have a 105A alternator and am going to do the big 3 when I get my new wiring. Any suggestions?

Friday, November 07, 2008 - 02:27 GMT You don't have to give the sub the amps max output, I'll say it again Always good to have more power than you need The kicker is the wrong impedance that will not work. The hifonics is a low quality amp. There is now real way to know what the electrical system will support until you try it.

Friday, November 07, 2008 - 06:27 GMT The kicker is a good amp but to run that you have to get the dual 4 ohm version of the sub
