Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 358 Registered: Jan-05 | u can't find a good kicker amp? what are you talking about because imo kicker amps are great, but you right about the ohms so if you wire each sub in series, then wire both subs to the amp in series that would be a 1ohm load, so look into hifonics, mtx, jbl, for cheap but good amps, or jl, mmats, zapco, xtant, for really good amps but be prepared to pay a lot of money for them. |

Silver Member Username: Racer501ND USA Post Number: 115 Registered: Jun-05 | jeez im stupid srry James should have thought of the amp u posted before i posted that one but i guess it doesnt hurt does any one have any comments on the KX 850 .2? |
|
Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 361 Registered: Jan-05 | well idk about that amp but the kx200.2 and kx600.1 are very good amps, and never got hot, and people say that they are underrated so you get more power. |
|
Silver Member Username: Racer501ND USA Post Number: 116 Registered: Jun-05 | well the 200 and 600 are lower then what i need though unless ther like 3/4 and 1/4 underrated then they wouldnt be bad but i highly doubt ther that much underrated |
|
Silver Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 362 Registered: Jan-05 | ya true but i would think that if the 200 and 600 amps are really good that the 850 amp would be good too. |
|
Silver Member Username: Racer501ND USA Post Number: 117 Registered: Jun-05 | k then thats the amp im gona be gettin what about a head unit? im gona be needing one of those im hoping to be getting a 73 Plymouth Satellite |

Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 784 Registered: Jul-04 | I would say anything Nakamichi, Eclipse, or Alpine are some of the best. Many of my friends also have pioneeer premier and they are fantastic as well. I personally have a Nakamichi CD-400. If you want something flashy go with something other then the Nakamichi, its built to look almost stock with some of the best sound you can get. |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 3809 Registered: Dec-04 | I agree with Chris. Naki,Alpine,Eclipse are all top notch decks prob the only three I would even think about using in my car but I am a alpine guy always have been. |

Gold Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 1148 Registered: Jul-04 | I am personally a big fan of Nakamichi because of there look and sound quality. No flashy krap. The only issue with them is that if you want a sufficient EQ for your system you need to buy a seperate one. i guess they expext that if you want sound quality of a Nak that you will get a great EQ too. |
