New member Username: BarrettsaPost Number: 2 Registered: Jun-11 | So ive just bought my first car and im thinking about ordering 2 kicker solo S12s and i was wondering what kind of amp should i buy? The rms on 2 kickers combined is 5000w and the peak power would be 10000watts. I feel like i have little knowledge for the money being dropped here but i have to learn some way. |

Before I even get into any specifics, what is your budget you are willing to spend of the overall system? I can tell you right now that if you wanted to use those, you will be spending well over $2800 on everything you need. |

New member Username: BarrettsaPost Number: 4 Registered: Jun-11 | My buddy is going to build me an enclosure and the rest I was planning on buying with the subs and I was going to get a mechanics shop to advise me on what wires I would need |

Gold Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 1049 Registered: Jun-06 | Well I can tell you what you will need in terms of wires, that shouldn't be a problem. I will personally find and build you a system on that budget later tonight when I get out of work later tonight for you. Just as a precaution though, you will need to upgrade the electrical system in your vehicle for using that much power. What is the kindof vehicle you have anyway BarrettSA? |

Gold Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 1050 Registered: Jun-06 | With your budget, I could only manage to use 1 Kicker Subwoofer instead of 2. Below I have listed the Amplifier, Wiring Kit, A Deck and 6-1/2" Speakers to consider, a more improved Battery, and a link where you can contact Nate at excessiveamperage.com on a price quote for a HO Alternator. Everything below lists for $2498.95 before taxes. Kicker 07S12X4 ($699.99): HO Alternater from Nate at Excessiveamperage.com ($350+): http://www.excessiveamperage.com/ |

Gold Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 1054 Registered: Jun-06 | No problem. Like I said earlier, this Subwoofer is a handfull for being your first setup. You may even find it too loud to your liking. If you want, I could suggest something differen't and won't empty your wallet. |
