@07RedRider400 That $1800 amp comes with NO warranty. What exactly makes it "Better Quality"? As for your question on buying mainstream... I have yet to buy something from Rockford that let me down except for ONE thing... a fuseholder, that's it. Other than that, everyone will tend to lean towards a brand depending on their preferences or needs. Just because a brand has claims to have a"cheaper, more powerfull" product, it does not make it better. It's all up to the consumer opinion in the end.
@FockfordRosgate im not surprised u would choose mainstream, just look at your screen name, and if you really look into it, you'll see the non mainstream GOOD brands are made of better materials, designed better, and cost much less, and lots of this stuff doesnt come with a warranty because it doesnt need it, and often they are tested before they go out to sale.....just look at RE for example,once they went mainstream they started using cheaper materials for everything and raised prices.
@07RedRider400 I guess you just haven't been paying attention to Rockford's gear much. Custom guts, custom chassis on all amps, and their best sub uses a 4in coil. It may only be 1200rms, but the T2 IS a badass sub. It is completely custom designed from surround to motor and sounds damn good, plays low as hell and is quite good looking. I choose to spend more $ for Rockford and not DC, Fi, AA, etc... because I LIKE Rockford's gear. I've heard better/louder, but RF is just my brand.
@AGRG9 Funny... My brother had one for over 2 years and sold it to buy a more powerful Memphis amp. It never malfunctioned running @2ohms on 14.9v with one 200amp alt. I know one other person using two ZX2500.1s and another guy STILL using an OLD KX2500.1. Don't believe everything you hear dude. What I'VE heard is a lot of morons running that amp @1ohm when it is only 2ohm stable. They think- "I'll just drop it down to 1ohm because I don't like reading instruction manuals".
@FockfordRosgate yeah.. i bet. im still a rookie but so far ive never freaked an amp up. just once out of 7 that ive had but it was all my fault. anywho. yeah.. thats totaly what they do.. idiots. amps should be treated like their balls. lol.. i treat mine better then i do myself.
All these dumb people dont consider what it cost in equipment to install this in there cars. 0g wire, multiple Yellow Optima Batteries. Alternator upgrade, etc. between the amp, sub and everything else. probaly cost more than most of these peoples cars are worth
To bad I can name about 15 amps that are more poweful :) SounDigital SD12KD, SounDigital SD16KD, American Bass 1000.1, Audioque 20k, Taramps 10.9K, Taramps 14.2K, Taramps 20.2K, Stetsom 19K2 E, Stetsom 14K2 E, Stetsom 24K2D, Stetsom 11K2D, SoundStream XXX15000D, Cactus Sounds ELT 12K, Cactus Sounds K12, Earthquake PHD20000W/D1, Rockford Fosgate T15KW.
@lococlown No, the amps are rated in RMS, and all of them put out more RMS power. But they are all less efficient than the Kicker. I can admit that. I know who designed the kicker amp. Do some research on the amps I mentioned. You will be surprised. I run a SounDigital SD16KD on a 18 volt setup and I clamped over 20,000 rms @ 1 ohm, I have a rise of around 2 ohms.
@zoomboy28 i used to work at stillwater designs for everyone that doesnt or hasnt ever worked there thats also known as kicker i tested these amps before you got to see them at sema so trust me i dont have to do any research i had my hands on the raw product
@lococlown ....I mean do your research on other amps. The warhorse is not even in the top 10 most powerful car amplifiers. But it is one of the most efficient! I know of a 1400 rms amp that is 97% efficient. I will have to look it up.
@zoomboy28 ok i get where your comin from but yea theres always going to be someone out there tryin to go bigger and badder but as for the recent price drop on the warhorse amps i promise your not going to find a better deal
@lococlown Ya...... finally... LOL.... $1500. I paid 2600 for my 16K. And I do believe the 10K from stetsom is around the 1500 dollar price range. If I needed it, I would try it out. I do like the push pull design.
@mikekrane22 lol ur tryna get rid of it huh my boy over here is a kicker dealer and got one for some wierd ass reason not like any ones gonna buy it so he just trying to get his money back selling it for the same price still too much for an amp
@Ravagar This is the most powerful monoblock amp, you can actually get 10,000 watts rms out of this amp continuously, you can't out of that P.O.S. RF 15K
The Warhorse uses a modulated power supply with no separate output section. That is why it is 94% efficient...no other amp comes close. If you want power you have to feed it voltage and current. Wattage = Voltage x Current. There is no way around it. If you want wattage, voltage is somewhat constant so you have to pull more current to get more power. The T15 stores energy for bursts and cannot sustain the 15K watts into 4 channels for very long. It is a good amp, don't get me wrong.
like everything else in life...this amp has its place and uses...not for everyone..so if someone loves kicker..so-be-it.....arguing over opinions..not facts here..opinions about the "best" amp made is useless.....just keep it loud and smile muthafukkas!!!!!
My friend t15k rockford fosgate is a freaking 4 channel amplifier, this is a freaking Mono channel amplifier. Just don't have that high amount of power, but it's all stable power, not like 4 channel is not stable.
shelby 4290, do you know how stupid all your comments sound? You know your full of shit! If you do have a 150db set up then why is your only video sparkelers in hubcaps? I doubt you ever hooked a stereo up!
ok, this over-hyped video tells you nothing about how it achieves such efficiency. From my understanding its a push-pull design, and i was hoping that this vid would answer a few questions....but nope.
Guys saying this thing is a 10 000w RMS amp...... an amplifier cannot make power. It can only put out what it draws, according to the formula P=VI where Power (watts) = voltage x current. Say this thing is 90% efficient. It has a 250A fuse, and running on 14.4v, that means at most it can produce 3240w RMS. They're the facts. It's still a very powerful amp though of course.
@jdizzle4shizzle3 Did best buy tell you that? why would i get this BIG ASS amp like honestly where can you put it. id still rather go with sounddigital, sundown, stetsom, cactus sounds, earthquake, digital designs, etc. all those amps are smaller and would whoop the shit out of this amp. 4 of those amps up top can operate on super low voltages to all the way to 19v DC. I remember i fell in love with my first amp too ;)
"thatdrh", your talking about half of what this warhorse plus a DVC sub can do and handle reliably.
Sure, save money and still have a loud sub with your setup, but be sure that the warhorse plus dvc subs would blow your setup away.
I doubt that you would only use 1 sub on this amp. run multiple subs in series or parallel to get the 2ohm load it needs to produce 10,000w rms at 14.4V
the kicker solox 18 inch square sub is only rated at 5000w rms - 10000w peak and the sub is a dual 1 ohm DVC sub
This amp is working at 90% efficiency all the time the rockford fostgate amp only works at about 20% efficiency so kicker is whole lot better on every level of audio
I think that you need to speak with a little bit of intelligence...! ! The Rockford Fosgate T15K only has a max current draw of 350 amps... Roughly this is equillevent a 3,500 watt amp... The WarHorse will never see the light of day in the efficient world of the T15K.....
what are you talking you def. don't know what you are talking about this thing can pull 10,000 watts rms and no it's not equilvalant to 3,500 watts it puts out 10000 watts and thats true wattage its in a class all by it's self and it runs 90 -93% efficiency rating so yeah i would have to say it's the best and most powerful mono block amp get your facts straight before you post a comment to me
Really didnt know an amp could pull 10,000 waqtts. Every amp I have ever owned produced watts and drew current. What is there not to understand.....? The T15K is far more efficient that the Warhores.. .. . . Enough said and yes I do know what I am talking about ! Efficiency in the SPL world is a very important factor or did you not know this either?
Y E A H ! < !< With the RockfordFosgate T15K thats 350 amps of current and @ the same time putting out 15,000 watts(closly comparable to 3,500 watts) Lets see what the warhorse puts out @ a 350 amp/ current draw... I guarantee it is no where near the 15,000 watts recorded with the T15K... Just a little misunderdtood.... Typically every 100 amps = 1,000 watts with conventional amplifiers. None the less Kicker has a very respectable name, no insult implied... Sorry if otherwise misinterpretted.
you got your facts wrong cause that amp is a 2/4 channel amp not a mono block it puts 10000 watts rms to 1 sub not 2. rockfordfostgate sucks. and its to bulky and to much money for it. let me see rockfordfostgate make a 15000 watt rms monoblock amp o wait i guess there not capable of that
Show me 1 sub other than the DDz that could handle the warhorse and I will shake your hand. Get your game right? The "15" in T15K is 15,000 watts.. ?.. ?
Every aplication I have seen yet has always consisted of more than 1 sub anyway?
it's called the 18" solo X subwoofer they specifically designed it to be compatible with the warhorse. your a dumbass the T15K you are referring to is a 4 channel amp this a mono amp get your facts straight homeboy
Rockford Sucks ass yeah they probably went up in smoke because they had too much power pumping into them any sub will blow with to many amps and watts. At least Kicker has created a beast like this what has Rockford done.
actually had to 2 RF T2000 so not even the RMS wattage on that piece of shit and still burnt up and about rockford making a better amp well look at the t15k and it dont matter its a 4 channel its still HELL of alot better then this turd
ok whatever dude thats your opinion i know the truth because I've owned many kicker products and haven't had any problems with them none of my speakers amps or subs have blown to this day. So I know what i'm talking about. Any ways you couldn't afford the Warhorse anyways so you don't know what it can really do and neither do I but at least I know KIcker is makes the best quality products around.
haha i can afford $7,000 dollar rims but i cant afford 3 thousand more ha give me a break buddy and your wrong kicker is far from the BEST QUALITY around!
woo hoo 7,000 dollar rims why would you spend that much on pieces of metal. i wouldn't even think of spending that much money on some rims or this amp i'm just saying it will out perform all other amps i live by kickers name.You can't compare this amp to any other classes of amps because the warhorse is in a class all by it's self
well one cause i can 2 the warhorse is sure in a class by itself alright "overpriced shit class" AAAHAHAH and plus everyone see what your rolling on who the fuck it gonna see this piece of overpriced dog shit...
trust me its not worth it! you can get 2 RF 40001 and be just as loud for 8000 less dumbfuck now are you getting it? for that kinda money i can get over 30,000 watts dumbass why dont you get your haed out of your ass before acting like you know..
I've already told you i won't buy any other product for subs, amps, or speakers unless i either don't have the money to buy kicker. They didn't make this amp for mutiple speakers they made it for it to be compatible with their solo baric 18 X. I wouldn't spend 1500 dollars for a set of rims even if I had money to blow. I spend my money on thing I need and live on like clothes and food I don't worry bout material things that make me look good. I'm glad your doing well in this economy i'm unemploy
8000 watts at 4 ohm! and your BAD ASS kicker does 10,000 at 2 ohm! and 5,000 at 4 ohm so yeah the jbl is more power eddie HA just get off it already i mean you cant talk your way out of this one..
JBL= junk but loud... Kicker = pure domination... if your running 4 ohms you might as well not be running that much watts because its just gunna sound like junk... i will always run my subs at two ohms... just saying kicker is better by far
lmfao what a tard.. it doesnt matter what ohm its at as longs as its putting out the same wattage and plus 4 ohm is actaully better cause it draws less power than 2 and 1 ohm loads... lol shows how much you know
your a tard 4 ohm is so much quieter then two ohm... trust me i have run my subs at 4 ohm they only hit a 140.5 as soon as i dropped them to two ohm i hit a 150.8 so look up your stuff again man.... oh ya its a all kicker system by the way and i do installations for a living man i know what im talking about.. kicker will beat anything anytime
4 ohm does put out LESS power than 2 ohm dumbfuck but i said 4 ohm draws less power so if you had a amp that put out 8000 at 2 ohm and a amps that put out 8000 at 4 ohm what would be better,,,???? YEAH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT YOU FUCKING NOOB ASS RETARD NOW WHOS LOOKING STUPID
man your the retard get a fuckin life man i only do high end installs anything that hits over 160 so shiut up man i bet your just lookin this up on wikipedia so shut up man i do this for a living... and i dont do installs that are wired to 4 ohms i only do two and under
not a BTL would stomp a SOLO X in its tracks anytime anyday so actually you dont know what your talkin about kicker IS ok thats bout it you would never see me purchasing kicker shit... overrated junk
its called good quality subs u can run 3 preimer 12" 8000watt max 3500 rms this is 10. 000 rms look at the t15k rockford amp 15.000 watts 2 of them in one suv runing 4 15" fi
dumb ass!!! u dont know shit bout car audio with a dumb ass comment like this one. it all depends on what kind of setup you will be running. JACKASS!!!
oh really!!?!? so are ALOT of other amps and they dont cost 10,000 dollars did dont know i had to pay a dollar a watt cause thats exactly what the warhorse is
This amp is far more efficient that anything they produced in the past but I am comparing it to the Rockford T15K. If compared to everything else in the lanes then, yes it is very eficient
@FYGblood I don't give a fuck what Meade says, me and him have got in to it before I don't like his shit he tries to out do every fucking body. Nobody in the real world can even afford the shit. But kicker is the best don't give a fuck what you have to say about it they have been around the block. So I trust in Kicker it's my fucking opinion and I have the right to it.
@justdrew89 Chill man, i agree with you on kicker, i got some kicker comps myself, and im gonna buy a kicker l7. i just personally think the 15k RF amp is better. But the warhorse is the shit to. But also both i wont ever afford..
@FYGblood yeah I feel ya I'm just tired of people attacking my opinion damn I mean i'm going to stick to it. Glad you brought up that point no average working american can afford those two amps i will agree the rockford amp is pretty cool looking with the digital but I will always live by kicker. This amp was made mainly for competition for the audio guru's and the 18"square kicker subwoofer. Unless you are someone who is famous thats the only way you'll have one of these or the 15K
@justdrew89 Ya, i totallly agree with what your saying. I dont get how meade affords all that shit though. Like whats his job i dont get it. I soo wish i could get some solo x 18s tho. hah
@FYGblood yeah i know i think he gets paid to test out certain products. I'm not saying that his systems are wack either it's just a waste of money i could do a lot with 50 grand
The thing is just a beast, there is no need for something that draws that much power, you could use 3 or 4 amps and get twice the power and not need as many batteries as that thing does
The Rockford T15KW can only make 15K in short bursts, or 1 burst several seconds long. Sure it can make it, but it can't maintain it. It like the Kicker Warshit can only make slightly more then 5K continuously.
The Kicker REP says this amp is uses a PUSH PULL system. So you need a dual voice coil sub system. which is fine. but that means, 5k watts on one coil to push, the other 5K to pull it back. So to do this, all you would need is a single amp that can do 5K. Also, that means when your sub is moving its only using one coil at a time to compress and decompress. If any competitors have a brain. They wont be using this amp.
Just so u know, warrhorse is kicking out 10000W RMS at 4 Ohm. So its heavy stuff. It's powered with atleast 6 batterys and it needs 6st 70mm2 cables. Its a freeking beast. In sweden it cost 850000Kr
DAMN!.....I bet if you turn your speakers all the way up the cops will already be on your car....nice way to blow up a 1000.00 dollar subwoofer set up...
Maby so but in comparison the warhorse will draw an incridible 1,000 amps where the T15K only draws an understated 350 efficient amps.... Not even close in a head 2 head comparison!!! ENOUGH SAID!??$%&*@
All in the design my friend. If you ever see the internals of the T15K you would understand from a first person point of view. Like something you have never seen . . . .
that think will push a jack hammer actually queit good a jack hammer is so sensitive its crazy very nice amp found a website selling it for 7 grand 10000 rms perfect for an solo x two wired into two ohms perfect
hum...i don't think your right , i would be the first one surprise if that thing could push 10k on a 4ohm load, can you just imagine the resistance , and the heat, it would probably melt. and usually the less you impedence the more power, i mean not usually ..always !!
yeah it is on a 2ohm load the website says so my bad. and yeah my bad my calculations were off again when the resistance increases the decreases to remain at the same voltage. due the the formual V=IR sorry my bad must have been tired.
Thank you 970Bikers...the Jackhammer shouldnt be so idolized, it can be blown away by subs way smaller than it...it's such a waste of space and money (not to mention resources).
its a NUKEEEEEEEEEE

jdizzle4shizzle3 1 year ago
@jdizzle4shizzle3 Did best buy tell you that? why would i get this BIG ASS amp like honestly where can you put it. id still rather go with sounddigital, sundown, stetsom, cactus sounds, earthquake, digital designs, etc. all those amps are smaller and would whoop the shit out of this amp. 4 of those amps up top can operate on super low voltages to all the way to 19v DC. I remember i fell in love with my first amp too ;)
kkiiaann33 1 year ago
"thatdrh", your talking about half of what this warhorse plus a DVC sub can do and handle reliably.
Sure, save money and still have a loud sub with your setup, but be sure that the warhorse plus dvc subs would blow your setup away.
I doubt that you would only use 1 sub on this amp. run multiple subs in series or parallel to get the 2ohm load it needs to produce 10,000w rms at 14.4V
the kicker solox 18 inch square sub is only rated at 5000w rms - 10000w peak and the sub is a dual 1 ohm DVC sub

Rockford Fosgate T15K is a 4 channel. Kicker Warhorse is a Mono amp. There is a Huge difference
xxxflippykidxxx 3 years ago
This amp is working at 90% efficiency all the time the rockford fostgate amp only works at about 20% efficiency so kicker is whole lot better on every level of audio
justdrew89 3 years ago 7
I think that you need to speak with a little bit of intelligence...! ! The Rockford Fosgate T15K only has a max current draw of 350 amps... Roughly this is equillevent a 3,500 watt amp... The WarHorse will never see the light of day in the efficient world of the T15K.....
smigletat 2 years ago
what are you talking you def. don't know what you are talking about this thing can pull 10,000 watts rms and no it's not equilvalant to 3,500 watts it puts out 10000 watts and thats true wattage its in a class all by it's self and it runs 90 -93% efficiency rating so yeah i would have to say it's the best and most powerful mono block amp get your facts straight before you post a comment to me
justdrew89 2 years ago
Really didnt know an amp could pull 10,000 waqtts. Every amp I have ever owned produced watts and drew current. What is there not to understand.....? The T15K is far more efficient that the Warhores.. .. . . Enough said and yes I do know what I am talking about ! Efficiency in the SPL world is a very important factor or did you not know this either?
smigletat 2 years ago
Y E A H ! < !< With the RockfordFosgate T15K thats 350 amps of current and @ the same time putting out 15,000 watts(closly comparable to 3,500 watts) Lets see what the warhorse puts out @ a 350 amp/ current draw... I guarantee it is no where near the 15,000 watts recorded with the T15K... Just a little misunderdtood.... Typically every 100 amps = 1,000 watts with conventional amplifiers. None the less Kicker has a very respectable name, no insult implied... Sorry if otherwise misinterpretted.
smigletat 2 years ago
you got your facts wrong cause that amp is a 2/4 channel amp not a mono block it puts 10000 watts rms to 1 sub not 2. rockfordfostgate sucks. and its to bulky and to much money for it. let me see rockfordfostgate make a 15000 watt rms monoblock amp o wait i guess there not capable of that
justdrew89 2 years ago
Show me 1 sub other than the DDz that could handle the warhorse and I will shake your hand. Get your game right? The "15" in T15K is 15,000 watts.. ?.. ?
Every aplication I have seen yet has always consisted of more than 1 sub anyway?
smigletat 2 years ago
it's called the 18" solo X subwoofer they specifically designed it to be compatible with the warhorse. your a dumbass the T15K you are referring to is a 4 channel amp this a mono amp get your facts straight homeboy
justdrew89 2 years ago
ha, a ddz will rape a 18" solo x, i wouldnt trust that a solo x 18 can actually handle 5kw rms,

id say KICKER sucks before ROCKFORD ahaha kicker does blow ass thou ive seen solox 18's go up in smoke just like that..
jesseadkins187 2 years ago
Rockford Sucks ass yeah they probably went up in smoke because they had too much power pumping into them any sub will blow with to many amps and watts. At least Kicker has created a beast like this what has Rockford done.
justdrew89 2 years ago
actually had to 2 RF T2000 so not even the RMS wattage on that piece of shit and still burnt up and about rockford making a better amp well look at the t15k and it dont matter its a 4 channel its still HELL of alot better then this turd
jesseadkins187 2 years ago
i personally wouldnt get either of them so fuck off and i know for a fact rockford "AMPS" will stomp kickers amps anyday SQ and TRUE wattage
jesseadkins187 2 years ago
ok whatever dude thats your opinion i know the truth because I've owned many kicker products and haven't had any problems with them none of my speakers amps or subs have blown to this day. So I know what i'm talking about. Any ways you couldn't afford the Warhorse anyways so you don't know what it can really do and neither do I but at least I know KIcker is makes the best quality products around.
justdrew89 2 years ago
haha i can afford $7,000 dollar rims but i cant afford 3 thousand more ha give me a break buddy and your wrong kicker is far from the BEST QUALITY around!
jesseadkins187 2 years ago
woo hoo 7,000 dollar rims why would you spend that much on pieces of metal. i wouldn't even think of spending that much money on some rims or this amp i'm just saying it will out perform all other amps i live by kickers name.You can't compare this amp to any other classes of amps because the warhorse is in a class all by it's self
justdrew89 2 years ago
well one cause i can 2 the warhorse is sure in a class by itself alright "overpriced shit class" AAAHAHAH and plus everyone see what your rolling on who the fuck it gonna see this piece of overpriced dog shit...
trust me its not worth it! you can get 2 RF 40001 and be just as loud for 8000 less dumbfuck now are you getting it? for that kinda money i can get over 30,000 watts dumbass why dont you get your haed out of your ass before acting like you know..
jesseadkins187 2 years ago
I've already told you i won't buy any other product for subs, amps, or speakers unless i either don't have the money to buy kicker. They didn't make this amp for mutiple speakers they made it for it to be compatible with their solo baric 18 X. I wouldn't spend 1500 dollars for a set of rims even if I had money to blow. I spend my money on thing I need and live on like clothes and food I don't worry bout material things that make me look good. I'm glad your doing well in this economy i'm unemploy
justdrew89 2 years ago
lol easy man and that warhorse would blow that solox sky high we had 2 rf2000 on one and BOOM! went up in smoke after like 10 min of beating it
jesseadkins187 2 years ago
why is it always you have to use 2 amps why can't you just use one amp.
justdrew89 2 years ago
alright check out the JBL on my page
8000 watts at 4 ohm! and your BAD ASS kicker does 10,000 at 2 ohm! and 5,000 at 4 ohm so yeah the jbl is more power eddie HA just get off it already i mean you cant talk your way out of this one..
jesseadkins187 2 years ago
JBL= junk but loud... Kicker = pure domination... if your running 4 ohms you might as well not be running that much watts because its just gunna sound like junk... i will always run my subs at two ohms... just saying kicker is better by far
shelby4290 2 years ago
lmfao what a tard.. it doesnt matter what ohm its at as longs as its putting out the same wattage and plus 4 ohm is actaully better cause it draws less power than 2 and 1 ohm loads... lol shows how much you know
jesseadkins187 2 years ago
your a tard 4 ohm is so much quieter then two ohm... trust me i have run my subs at 4 ohm they only hit a 140.5 as soon as i dropped them to two ohm i hit a 150.8 so look up your stuff again man.... oh ya its a all kicker system by the way and i do installations for a living man i know what im talking about.. kicker will beat anything anytime
shelby4290 2 years ago
ahhaa i feel sorry for your customers lol
4 ohm does put out LESS power than 2 ohm dumbfuck but i said 4 ohm draws less power so if you had a amp that put out 8000 at 2 ohm and a amps that put out 8000 at 4 ohm what would be better,,,???? YEAH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT YOU FUCKING NOOB ASS RETARD NOW WHOS LOOKING STUPID
like i said cant believe you do installs LMFAO!
jesseadkins187 2 years ago
man your the retard get a fuckin life man i only do high end installs anything that hits over 160 so shiut up man i bet your just lookin this up on wikipedia so shut up man i do this for a living... and i dont do installs that are wired to 4 ohms i only do two and under

justdrew89 1 year ago
@justdrew89 Chill man, i agree with you on kicker, i got some kicker comps myself, and im gonna buy a kicker l7. i just personally think the 15k RF amp is better. But the warhorse is the shit to. But also both i wont ever afford..
FYGblood 1 year ago
@FYGblood yeah I feel ya I'm just tired of people attacking my opinion damn I mean i'm going to stick to it. Glad you brought up that point no average working american can afford those two amps i will agree the rockford amp is pretty cool looking with the digital but I will always live by kicker. This amp was made mainly for competition for the audio guru's and the 18"square kicker subwoofer. Unless you are someone who is famous thats the only way you'll have one of these or the 15K
justdrew89 1 year ago

CourtneyChaos14 3 years ago
The Rockford T15KW can only make 15K in short bursts, or 1 burst several seconds long. Sure it can make it, but it can't maintain it. It like the Kicker Warshit can only make slightly more then 5K continuously.
thatdrh 3 years ago
The Kicker REP says this amp is uses a PUSH PULL system. So you need a dual voice coil sub system. which is fine. but that means, 5k watts on one coil to push, the other 5K to pull it back. So to do this, all you would need is a single amp that can do 5K. Also, that means when your sub is moving its only using one coil at a time to compress and decompress. If any competitors have a brain. They wont be using this amp.

crazy shit though. 93% efficient. amazing
dckmn52 4 years ago
actually the 10k is rated at 4ohms so if u were to run the 18 @ 2 ohms you get only 5000watts which is what an 18 runs.

hum...i don't think your right , i would be the first one surprise if that thing could push 10k on a 4ohm load, can you just imagine the resistance , and the heat, it would probably melt. and usually the less you impedence the more power, i mean not usually ..always !!
e1987messier 4 years ago
yeah it is on a 2ohm load the website says so my bad. and yeah my bad my calculations were off again when the resistance increases the decreases to remain at the same voltage. due the the formual V=IR sorry my bad must have been tired.
