http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_1263_Kicker+IX254+Impulse+Series.htmlits a ix254 amp. any details? like i said all i want to do is power one ten with this.
I have the little brother to the Orion amp I put a link for. The amp you are questioning comes up with these numbers when I search it:""I have this amp's little brother and it runs my 10 inch MA Audio quite well""
so you think this amp would power a ten inch kicker sub just fine? i really dont want to buy a new one. this was given to me.
Thanks!
The amp you are talking about comes up with the following numbers according to sonic electronix.i had the 2 channel ix2302 ran 900 rms at 4 ohms. the impulse series are pretty old school lotta people lookn for em on caraudiotalk.com. they can help ya out alot over there too. not trying to take any glory from trs
sorry i musta misread it i just scanned the peak power i guess. i believe kicker usually underrates there stuff a little bit.The amp you are talking about comes up with the following numbers according to sonic electronix.
# 230 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms
# 720 watts RMS x 1 in bridged mode
# 360 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms
The amp the OP wants number on is rated at:
# 25 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms
# 65 watts RMS x 2 in bridged mode
# 35 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms
About 20% of the power at 4 ohms (460W max compared to 100W max @ 4 ohms). So I really don't think this amp Bassmaster is questioning was intended to run a subwoofer.
Here are the links I used for reference:

No problem. The amp you have sounds like a decent little amp to run the rest of the speakers though.I guess I will just have to buy a new amp. Thanks for the help!
yes kicker does under rate their stuff, in the box with a new amp you should get a certificate at what the amp actually put out during quality control when they were testing it. like an advertised 400watt rms amp will come with its actual tested output iv seen one with a 472rms certificate. thats 72 amps for FREE!!sorry i musta misread it i just scanned the peak power i guess. i believe kicker usually underrates there stuff a little bit.
