Got some bump in my trunk now

RazziAlero99 · 10-15-2006, 09:24 PM

I just picked up a set of subwoofers, 2 12" Kicker Comp VR's. They are in a Kicker box running right now on a 200w Rockford amp. I would like to sell this amp and get a larger amp for it, but its fine now. I got everything for $275! My buddy just got a truck so he had no need for it anymore. Also I am running JL 6x9's in the back and 6 1/2's in the front doors. Here are some pics of it all below. These pics are from the other day I just got it installed and it sounds nice, except for some trunk rattle but what can you do?

Lets say I got a new amp, I know the 200w gets the job done. What is the highest wattage amp I could go with these subwoofers? Is anyone famillar with Kicker? My friend says I could go with a 1000w amp.

First off, how many watts can each subwoofer handle?????
Whats the RMS for each???? and what is the max amount of watts u can put out to each????

Say the rms is 300 for each and the max wattage is 1000, iwould get an 1100 watt amp, so each sub is getting 550 watts each, dont go too powerful, i have 550 going to each of my subs and it sounds very nice.

I am pretty sure the comp Vrs can handle 400 watts rms. the 2 subs would then be able to handle about 800 rms. an amp rated just a little less like say 700 to 800 would match up perfect.

yep, they should match up well..... i have 600watts for each one of my 3 JL 12s..... they sounds sawweeeettt

do not listen to this man, you'll over power your subs.
NEVER go by max power ratings
keep it around RMS
if you want more power, get beefier subs that can handle the extra power.
say those subs are 400 rms a piece, simply buy an 800 RMS amp

How would you overpower the subs!????? if the max wattage was around 1000, and your running 550 to each one, how will that overpower them?????? i havent had ANY problems with mine, they handle 1100 watts max(each) and i have 550 goin to each, no problems and they sound great.

I've get the same subs but dual 10s and they sound perfect.

Looks good.

Looks sweet enjoy...

I just talked to one of my friends and I found out he has the same set up that I have. He is just running a 400watt amp and said I could go up to an 750watt amp max. Im probably just going to end up with a amp around 450-750watts, just something bigger than the 200. I just really wanted it to sound good and clear, not like my buddies Durango with 4 15's his is loud but its not that great.

All depends on how they're wired up.. The CVRs are dual voice coil subs as i remember.
