Will this be able to power two 12-inch Kenwood KFC-W3013PS? Sorry I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to sound for vehicles. Is there a better amp?

this would not be your best bet. go with a 1000 watt mono amp. I used this 500 watt on my door speakers. Had a 1000 watt mono for my two 10's and it was far more than enough. However the 500 wouldnt give you what you need.

This is a good amp but it's for a small system. Like for myself, with no loud music all the time, just once in a while to show off. Lol. Your speakers have a range of 400 watts if I'm not mistaken, so it should power it since it's a 500w model. But I would recommend you to get a 1k watts amp. Kenwood's a pretty good brand for this. At least mine does the work like a charm.

I would say so. It wouldn't be pushing the speakers to their limit but would do a good job. My son currently uses the amp for a 10" mid bass and a single 15" sub. It does the job but we are about to switch out the amp driving the 6 1/2 door & 6x9 speakers and use this amp for that & use a much larger amp for the 10 & 15. For what it costs this is a good buy

I'll preface that I'm no pro-audio expert, but based on how much this powers my 1 sub, I think this will be plenty of power for 2 subs, and still leave you 4 channels for the rest of your speakers. I would recommend shooting a call to your local best buy and just ask the geek squad car audio reps...they helped me even though I didn't buy it from them...they are actually the ones who recommended this amp versus one of they sell.

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.

That amp would be pushing the max RMS power for 2 subs running at 2 ohms overall.... (That amp is showing 1,200 RMS watts at 2 ohms. Each SA-12 is rated for up to 600 Watts RMS.) I run Hifonics Amps in my cars and am quite pleased. Honestly, unless you want to be heard from a mile away, you don't need two of these subs.... one is PLENTY..... That being said, once upon a time 1 had 2 JL 12" W0 subs plus 2 8" Rockford Fosgate DVC subs in a Jeep Grand Cherokee.... yes, overall the 4 subs were louder, but this is damn near close to the same loudness as those 4 were....

I'd say it should work nice. I have it hooked up to two 700w 12" kenwood subs and it preforms pretty good. So for two 400w subs it should do great!

Specifications for this speaker are 10 to 150 watts. I use a 100 watts/channel Yamaha 5.1 amplifier and they perform very well. I have no direct experience with lower powers, although we usually operate the system at less than 25% of max volume. In your case my opinion is that the 50 watt Yamaha would work very well but probably not the Kenwood.

I feel I can safely say no here. Most audio amps that require dual supplies of the same voltage tend to require negative voltage on one pole, AKA a ground, 12v, and -12v..this power supply does not have a negative voltage output. If it requires two independant 12v rails, still no - this power supply has a single 12v rail with multiple taps. The only suitable usage for this power supply would be single-rail 12v applications. I hope that takes care of your question - if not, please provide more detail such as model or part number of the amplifier in question.

It's not too much, in my opinion, i think it will be perfect. You could connect ONE of these or have TWO 750.1 amplifiers, but i think it will take too much wiring. Just remember that speakers need their proper box (i would suggest a BIG vented box) and that they also need to be properly connected. And for the amp, just remember not to set the gain all high, but at least 3/4 of the way, make sure you also have a big fared capacitor (you don't want to drain out the car battery) or a second battery, and also make sure it has the proper gauge wires (for the battery, ground, and as well for the speakers) and a fuse. Thanks

an 800 watt amp might be a little overkill to drive two of these. I run two of mine on a 400watt pyle marine amp and I can max them out. I just used a regular 16 gauge speaker wire. They sound great!

I am sorry, but i haven't tried my Amp yet. Yea i know, i bought it awhile ago but i will try to install it in my car this year. Ps i don't know if it will run on the specifications you wrote, i don't know so much about installing amps or subwoofers so i'll get a friend to install the sound in my car.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

Polk audio what? One ten inch sub? 4 6x9s. Go on YouTube and do your research. This is a 2 ch 900w max. Rms is the speakers happy range but when you add multiples it can stress out the amp. General rule of thumb: You should ALWAYS have more amp than you need. Have good grounds. Keep it simple. Know the difference between ported/sealed, dvc/svc, component/coax. _ FYI I bought this amp to power a 10 inch sub that had a 600w max. Tuned correctly it can break apart kidney stones...Just saying.

I'm running 2 kenwood excelon subs rated at 300 each. The jx 1000 has more power than they can handle but they sound great. It's better to have to much power than not enough. I think your subs would be a good match up for this amp

Very loud with little wattage. They don't need but 150watts to each sub. Rockford Fosgate 500 2 channel amp is what I have pushing them. They will rock!!! I don't have them anymore sold car just left them in car. Down sized to 12" now Kenwood 12ps they are even louder without taking up my whole trunk.

I believe it should be more then adequate to power 2 12's. I'm no stereo guru but this amp should give you more then enough power and not blow your subs but give you all the bass you want. I've had the amp in my car since last Saturday and I have a single 10 inch bass inferno sub and this amp is more then enough for me. People think I have a 15 or multiple speakers in my car. It's a great amp so far. It also comes with a one year warranty from the manufacturer. The amp is great price,looks good and is light weight

Ive got mine hooked to a pioneer premier 12 in 2ohms and its really really loud I have to keep the subwoofer line way down. Im sure it would be similar for yours in 4ohms its a very strong amp. Works great ive had a few different kenwood amps and they always perform.

First off, what is the rms of that sub? This amp puts out 1200 watts rms at 2 ohms. Amplifiers work more efficiently when they are not wired to their lowest recommended impedance so i would feel comfortable saying that it would do its rated power. Issues: does your car have strong enough electrical to supply what this amp needs. At least upgrade the stock battery and use Good wire, OFC (oxygen free copper) 4 gauge at least, 0 gauge if you plan to run multiple amps. I would also suggest at least 12 gauge ofc speaker wire, i use 0 gauge ofc power wire, 8 gauge speaker wire, wired to 1 ohm, 2 batteries and a 4 channel amp as well.
