Need input on amps
I should be receiving my Kicker S8L7 this week, so I'm now shopping for an amp. Contacted a re-seller and this is what he's suggesting:
By the way, the Kicker is a Dual 2ohm, rated at 450rms. The listed prices are in Canadian dollars, and at todays exchange rate, it converts to: 1Cdn$/0.80Us$
CLASS D:
1) Directed 600D - 600w RMS at 1ohm - Refurbished and looks like new, very
strong amp - 250$ (Sold for 799$ in stores last year)
CLASS A/B
2) Rockford Fosgate 501s - 500w RMS at 4ohm mono bridged - Refurbished and
looks like new - 250$ (Sold for 499$ in stores last year)
3) MA Audio - 400w RMS 4ohm - Brand new - 200$
4) MTX MXA 4002 - 400w RMS at 4ohm (Certified at 500w RMS)- Open Box - 240$
(Sells currently for 399$ at FutureShop)

Are you just pushing a single 8" L7? I have a 325 RMS MRD-300 Alpine V-12 amp to my single 12"L7 and its pretty damn loud. I have a friend who has a 15" L7 in a custom box in his eclipse running less power with his kicker amp to that thing and it about makes me teeth chatter when I'm in there. For an 8" i don't think you would get a whole lot more sound going above 350rms....i could be wrong, but that power level seem to be sufficient for 12"s and 15".....besides you can snag one of those MRD-300 for under 200 bucks usually brand new. They have a digital readout and the alpine bass engine..I think you'd like it alot.

These are killer amps - a bit more than what you've got listed, but I'd take a peek at it...Offer him $275 USD for one of them...It's modded, so I'm sure it'll be 1 ohm stable (I'd ask him first, though)... Again, killer amps
