Hi all,

I got a problem here i wanna install my sub kicker solobaric L5 and i have 2 units of it.It is dual 4ohm and its 600 rms each.

The amp i have is also kicker model KX600.1.I know the amp is stable at 2ohm and runs 600rms on it.

Is it possible to do it on 1 ohm?
Is it stable and what is the side effect of it?
How to i know how much ohm the installer wire it down?
Any forumers try doing this before or has the same spec as me?
1 of the pic there writen max power output is 730 watts, what this mean?

Hope u all can help me cause im really lost...thanks in advance.

1. parallel connect your woofer 4ohm to become 2ohm, then again parallel the output of both woofer to become 1ohm

2. if your amp can accept 1ohm..then no side effect. if not the amp will kick protection

3. open and check

4. no

Thanks bro

but the connection seems complicated but think shop should know how to do rite??

My location in KK Sabah so doubt if they know how to do o not la..

Open and check means for the wiring rite??how to know if its 2ohm or 4 ohm?

How to know if the amp can support 1ohm stable or not ah??

Sorry for those stupid questions but really hope to know more ..

Go to googles and check the spec of your amp.
I don't think your amp is stable down to 1 ohm.

Unless you're goin for any sound-challenge competition, not many ppl go below 2ohm for everyday use you may 'Panggang' your amp sooner than later with 1ohm prolong use.

There is no relationship between the capacitor and the amp impedence.
So adding a capacitor will not help at all.

adding a cap will onli give u more stable power supply, but ur workload on the amp is still the same. so, it's still bad for ur amp. BTW, i'm from KK too, mind to get out and audit each other's car? smile.gif can PM me anytime, Merdeka Parade.
