What's a good amp?
Just got a new Kicker 10" from another member here. 600 peak, 300 RMS, 2 Ohm. Now I need to get some power to it. I already did a search, and got about 15 pages with the word "Amp" or "Amplifier" in it. Don't really have the time nor the inclination to look through all of that! Just need a few suggestions.
I'm not looking to blow out my windows (too old for that now), just wanted to gain some better bass and low end. I'm a Country/Classic Rock guy...none of that BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM stuff here.
While I'm at it, I was thinking about hooking up my four existing speakers to the new amp. Can that be done, or do I need a second amp for that?
Thanks guys!

so im very fond of JL after that. everything i've had of fosgate was diffinately not worth what its priced at.

go with the baby belle...from memphis... or actually called the mch600. its a five channel that will allow you to run your sub and your doors off the same amp. definately more than $50 but well worth it.
you can find info look under amplifiers

JL amps are over priced but nice. Be prepared to pay for one. Not a bg fan of Rockford again overpriced a little bit for what they are. All you need is a mono amp if you like country etc. The door speakers that you are probably using wont need an amp. Look at Hifonics also. I would say Hifonics, JL, belle, Kicker. Brands to stay away from are Sony, Volfenhag, walmart stuff, etc. Use common sense.

no thats the new one, but most kicker amps have 18db bass boost and that one has 12, i had the 200 watt version of it and had 18dbs and it was the same kinda of amp....now thats wierd...try it, but as a rule that u already stated, its always better to over power the sub so the amp does not have to work as hard
