Will this power my 2 ohm kicker l3 12" 1 channel and does it have overheat problems like other amps I've had in the past

The mfr spec is 400 watts RMS x 1 channel. That is probably at 13.8V power input. If you want to operate continuously near full power you should use 6 or 8 AWG wire to power the amp. There is thermal protection in the amp, so do not expect 400 watts if mounted in the trunk of a black car on a hot sunny day.

Definitely. I'm using that same amp to deliver about 750 W RMS to that same sub and the amp doesn't even get warm. Specs for that amp are 750 W, but my birth sheet was 880 W. One of my friends has been running 900 W to that sub for a couple years now. You should have absolutely no problem.

Yes I have 2 othem pushing 2 12" Rockford's P3 @ 2ohm I have on idea why everyone wouldn't do this. My entire system is 2ohm. Hope this helps.

I say it would work for you I have two 10 inch kicker comps hooked up to mine and I turned the amps power down to be cautious and it sounds great I don't know what these people are talking about its a great amp for the price

i would not get this amp i blew mine within 5 months of having it along with 2 12s if i was you i would get a lanzar distinct half ohm monoblock amp it is used for comp and it is really reliable for the price

i think this one puts out a little more the two sub channels put out 250 rms each or 500 rms bridged on one sub just make sure to let the amp get some air if you push it hard like i do it will burn its self out from the heat i already done this with one of these amps but for the price you cant beat this amp

It all depends on the brand of amp really, but with that much power I recommend that instead you buy a 2ohm kicker comp r that's what I have now with a 500w kicker amp and it slams but it's deep and smooth, way smoother than the cvr

I have not tried this amp in a 1ohm load. I have the Kicker CVR 12 (4ohm subs) wired for a 2ohm load and they pound! This little amp doesn't even get warm at high usage for long periods of time. Hope this helps.

The kicker 250.1 is a mono amp the output has 2+ and 2- hooking a 2 ohm sub up will give your amp a 2ohm load

It could. The max watts is 1000 and 500 regular. I have mine running a kicker comp 12. Almost too much power for it but it pushes hard. You should be good for two 12s though but personally I'd go with something that pushes it to the max wattage of the subs

I don't remember if this amp is rated to 2 ohms. If it's not you'll cook it not matter how many fans you put in there. To answer your power questions, 2 ohms puts out about double the power compared to 4 ohms if I'm not mistaking. Also you need to make sure the speaker can run at 2 ohms. In short if your stuff is rated at 2 ohms and the amp can go down that low then you'll be happy. If nothing is rated for 2 ohms you'll be unhappy real fast.

Hi Evan FurrThese speakers will work in series wiring configuration, so your amp wont overheat.Thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

I had two 11l7 12" running on two 1500w @1ohm amps in a ban pass box. I got around 153db... 24ft.cub. they lasted 9 months that is running the max. I upgraded to the 15"s... You should be good....Now I am running 75% power same style box. My amps don't get warm driving them for hours!!!

I had it powering my 2 L7 12" kickers...it was extremely loud & hit hard as hell until it died. It didn't even last 30 days! First it kept going into protection mode for no reason, it constently overheated if I didn't have the a/c on in my escalade blowing on it then it just died. If I were you I wouldn't even waste my money on it because you spend $100 on a amp, you get $100 worth of use out it. Save up and buy you a Alpine, Rockford Fosgate or a kicker amp. You'll be glad that you did in the long run.

I have this amp hooked up to a 4-ohm 12 inch Pioneer and it is doing great. Wherever you mount the amp make sure you have enough room under and above the amp for ventilation so it can dissipate heat. Don't flush mount it to the vehicle carpet. I built a small ply wood mounting block for mine with about 3/4" gap between the board and the bottom of the amp for air ventilation and have had no overheating issues. Hope my suggestion helps.

I would not recommend this amp. I was powering 2 12 inch digital design subs. It over heated all the time, would randomly shut off and blew on my with only using it for about 3 months and it was not bridged I would prefer a rockford amp they are a little bit more but worth the money
