yes i know you dont always have ot turn it all the way up i was just wondering how well it would work out because kicker always under rates their selves...
Ugh...... there is NO such thing as too much power!
When you do the calculation when setting your gain, you can use any number of watts up to what your amplifier is capable of. You do not have to set it to the maximum that it can produce.
Why can so many people not understand that concept
"Be very careful as that amp could put out up to 1400RMS at 2 ohms. The 15"CVR is rated to handle 500RMS."
the kx1200.1 does not do 1400wrms at 2ohms, the kx serires is rated at 1ohm, so at 2ohms the amp does around 700-800wrms, and do what ms said just find a votage calculator on the net determin how many watts you need at what ohm then hook a dmm up to your amp then adjust the gain till you get the correct voltage level.

My Mistake

I understand that concept but for someone new to car audio they may not, so its just to warn them about overpowering a sub...

because many people think of the gain as something that must be all the way up so their system will be loud
