Would this amp work better with a Kicker TCVT8 at 2 or 4 ohms?

Let me tell you this,in two ohms it puts out the power ... Four ohms if you just want it to be okay.. I have it running a 4 ohm 10. Inch rockfordfosge in a sealed box and it sounds good. I also have a dual 10 inch power bass and I ran it in two ohms in a sealed box and it hit real hard and low. But I'm not sll that into bass,I like to hear my highs and mids so I kept the fosgage in the trunk instead of the power bass.

At 2ohms it will put out 250 watts RMS and at 4 ohms it will put out 140 watts RMS so match the sub and amp RMS at its ohm and you'll be set...I have this amp with a kicker tc102 which is 2 ohm 10 inch comp and the sucker kicked my friends have said they've never heard a 10 kick this hard...sounds like my buddies 12 kicker cvr...I've got the gain low and my radio setting on all 0

I couldn't tell you because mine started to short all of a sudden and does not work any more! I have had this unit for less than three months and now it's worthless!

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.

Likely I use mine on 2 12 1400's and it does just fine might want a capacitor to go with it this is alot of power this isnt one 10" kicker with 400 amp. pyle makes a matching cap i believe.

I have the one kicker in my back deck with four all range speakers in the doors and it sounds fine with clean strong bass. My amp is only 200 watts powering all of that, so I would see no reason why 400 watts would have an issue handling two kickers.

My understanding is 2 OHM is better. I would however recommend you install the amp to get the proper sound that the speakers are capable of. I have not done this but I need to.

I think so,but it depends on the ohms.If you're using 1 cab it has to be 4 ohms not 8,but check that.If you run 1 cab the amp runs at 4 ohms,if you run 2 cabs it runs at 8.

Won't work with a 8 ohm coil. I use it with a 12" single 4 ohm via bridge and the amps couldn't handle it. I think you should get a different amps or get 2 ohms speakers.

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

Wire the sub at 2 ohms if it's possible. Makes the amp put out max power and sub slap. If your sub is not a dual voice coil 4 ohm, get one.

I have it powering a 12 inch kicker sub. I'm not real sure about how ohm's work. But it does fine they way I have it hooked up.

the amp is 2 ohm stable so you can use a single dual 4 ohm voice coil sub wired in parallel and see the rated output of 350 Watts but you must be aware that at 2 ohms more potential for stuff to go wrong. it is theoretically more stable at 4 ohms so its really up to you, how loud do you want it.

This amp is 4 ohm for bridged mode. I don't see anything but 8ohm for parallel.

Depend what you are hooking up to this amp make sure your in the right ohm load if not it's best to get 2 amps like this

I love this amp so far. It's small but very powerful. The positive reviews say it all and was the main reason I got it. I'm pushing 2 10" kicker comps at 2 ohm. You should have plenty enough power.

Cx 24000 watt kicker on mine...kicker in Oklahoma said perfect fit at 2.ohms.....haven't had 1 problem. .beats hard

Depends on your setup - if you are going to use it just for sub then 4 ohm, if you are going to use it multi channel, then 2 ohm. Caution, this amp shuts down easily when "overloaded" or too much current is drawn.

I don't see why not the Pyle is 4 ohm and that amp is rated 2-8 ohm. However it may not be enough power to make it sound good I'm using a kicker 400w amp.
