i have a quick question how do i wire my kicker solo x 12'' and i have a kicker kx 2500.1 i ohm what is the best way any why ? i am trying to get max power lol thanks
If it's a dual 2 ohm sub, you can wire it to either 1 ohm or 4 ohms. If you have the electrical for it I would use the KX at 1 ohm. If not... good luck finding an amp that will do 2.5k at 4 ohms. You'll still need electrical upgrades though.

if that 12 is a 2ohm DVC, run that sucker at 1ohm. that 2500.1 is gunna perform great at 1ohm.
if it's going in an suv, be ready for the back window seal to blow, and watch out for rain. that's what happened in my jeep with the solo x 18 anyway's.
hey retard you understand running the kicker amp at 1 ohm is not recommended nor does it say its supported. if it goes in to protect a lot thats gonna be why or poping fuses or it might kill the amp if you abuse it.
even if the amp does allow 1 ohm, you're talking about leaving absolutely no reserve power from the amp's power supply for sudden peak demands by doing that, and you'll most likely be clipping with the amp most of the time, which means you'll be glad the voice coils on teh Solo X are field serviceable becasue you'll be replacing them pretty often.
Leave the amp at 4 ohms. It may not be quite as loud, but it will sound a LOT better. Also remember, to audibly double the volume, it takes 10X the power, so even going from 2500 to 1500 watts RMS, you're only losing about -3dB, which is audible, but not that big of a deal. It'd be about the same as adding a second sub to the same amplifier (without increasing power)
at 4ohms that amp's only doing 1250rms. in my experience with the solo x, they need more power. but i guess it does save you money in the long run, and sound about the same.
and what i said above, i was thinking of using 2 zx2500.1's one to each voice coil. sry, i misunderstood.
