Kicker 750.1 amp...what kind of subs/box?

I really do like those kenwoods...but I'm soon getting an ED 9.1

Damn this thread needs more useless posts lol

 

kenwood has been around a long time.so i'm sure it is.hell about 15 years back when car audio cost more than it does today,i bought a kenwood amp.it was very small.like 18x2 or something.anyways had it running 4 speakers.it did a fine job for 3 years.finally sold it for a larger amp.

 

2 wires for the remote turn on???? well if you have 2 amps it makes sense...otherwise NO, it just needs one.....

 

The red and blue are not like a twisted pair are they?? Did you have some other component somewhere that would be triggered off that wire? I know when I did my last two systems, I wired in a relay and used the remote wire to activate it....I used the relay to power up a couple fans to cool the amps.

As far as that Kenwood putting out 900 watts?? I don't know....I do know this. My Blaupunkt amp was able to do 150 bridged....I had that running my sub for a long time....Last night I swapped it out and put this Kenwood in place....I got to really listen to it on my way to work this morning (40 min. drive)....It can EASILY give me so much sub it will bury the frt. and rear speakers...I am running it at 3 ohms...Now the HU is powering factory frt. & rear speakers...Full bandwidth power is rated at 22 wattsx4....When I finally get my Infinity's installed and run them off the Blaupunkt (150x2) I will be able to push this thing more.....I have a lot to do and I am gonna get started after New Years.....first.....I gotta upgrade big three.....I want to dynamat the truck...I need to fine tune my rear board for mounting amps, x-overs, distro...Mount everything on it, paint it....I need to pull the rear seat and all trim off to install rear speakers and dynamat....

Right now I am very happy with the sound of my truck....I know for a fact that the right rear speaker has issues (when I isolate it and run music at low volume...it is fuzzy) and the woofer in the right front door does the same thing (factory speakers)......If I turn volume up to 3/4 and have everything balanced, it sounds really really good.....Right now I am probably only pushing 100 watts at peak times out of this Kenwood amp for the sub.....I got the fader 80% frt. and I am only running HU power and the sub.....I got pretty decent volume with just that....When I am all outboard amp and aftermarket speakers, tweaked, truck dynamatted, I should be ecstatic with the sound I get....

Those kenwoods are a little overrated but will do close to rated power...I'd rather go for the Kenwood over the Hifonics...I'm sure the Kenwood will sound better.


Hifonics is overrated also...and they rate at 14.4 volts so I highly doubt you'll be able to sqeeze out 1200 watts at 1 ohm

 

my old school hifonics vulcan is rated at 50x2 from 10V to13.8V.its regulated.man that amp would run all day long.never gave me a prob.EVER!!

if the new ones are like the older ones. it should put out some power.

 

Why does everyone want three subs???

It won't be much louder than 2 CVR's in a good ported box. I don't see much gain from having the same amp but just adding a third sub...the ohm load would be higher and each sub would be gettin even less power

 

Well why did you suggest you having three subs???

 

Pardon these pictures....These are taken with my work digital camera....(stores on floppy)....these are pictures of pictures and kinda grainy....

This is the last car I had a system in...This is the trunk of my Bonneville....These are my C12 Kickers....Box and all the false floor and trim pieces that go from the box edges to the trunk, I built...Crossovers on the right are for my front stage (6" lanzar mid bass, 4" Kenwood mid, 1" kenwood tweets)....Left side was distro.....Amps are Kenwoods....Inside the false floor there are two fans running to cool amps....
