    just my opinion, any 4ch amp such as punch,mtx,kicker and 200 to 300 watt rms will do just fine, just make sure it has a crossover and hi and low pass filter. i personally like the punch. you could get one one ebay for about 150$

    any clean mid powered 4ch amp will do fine.. look for a low thd% and you should do nicely.

    just stay away from sony..

    look at the eclipse, infinity, alpine, etc..

    50 watts rms per channel is fine for those speakers...all of those amps listed will do perfectly...I would take that Pioneer as last resort

    It Dosent Sound Like $ Is An Issue, But If It Was Theres Other Websites To Do Your Shopping. Just Saying I Like To Save As Much As I Can, Then Use The $ I Saved For Beer While Im Installing It All In. And Yes Those Are All Good Amps

    Ranger, Are the kenwood KAC's also good for subs? Like the:

    KAC-8152D
    KAC-9102D
    KAC-9152D

    Just curious...

    Yes, the D class amps are pretty good amps. Now we have only sold a couple of Kenwood D class amps, most of our customers want "bang". Amps like Kenwood and Alpine are concerned with Sound Q, while amps like Planet Audio is all about loud. Which is what most of our customers want.

    I've had experience with the KAC-9102D....VERY tough amp.

    I've had it wired at 1 ohm (amp is only 2 ohm stable) to a couple 15 inch Kicker L7's...I was underpowering them but I was like what the hell the equipment isn't mine...the amp ran fine as long as I didn't push it too hard...it WOULD shut off if the gain was turned up too high but at the level where it didn't turn off it was still loud as SH!T and never shut off due to overheating...it got pretty damn hot though.

    I would never recommend wiring it at 1 ohm though...only the 9152D

    If you had a choice to pick a kicker ZX 750 or the kenwood 9152D which would you go with?

    depends on setup...

    That is a close game though

    azn, i still can't make up my mind with what subs and amps i'm gonna get. I want to get them in july (when my father is going back to the U.S) but i'm still confused.

    Orginally, i wanted to go with PG octane series with Infinity perfects but now i'm not sure anymore. I know that i want 2 12's cuz i have a ton of space for them. I like the price of the kenwoods. What subs would be good for the 9152D amp? Oh, im going vented with the enclosure (i'm gonna need help with that as well once i decide what the phuck im gonna get).
