Need Help choosing a Subwoofer?

I need help choosing a amp for my subwoofer!!!?

• I am buying a 15" kicker l5 in a ported box for my truck and gonna be getting a new amp too, i dont want ro soend mlre than $210 on ebay (ofcorse for a new amp) I am tied between a hifonics 2000 watt amp ($200) or a planet audio 5000 watt amp for $200. I know a few people with hifonics Amps and I know they are great for the money. And I also used to have a 2000 watt planet audio amp on 2 kicker cvr 15's and it was loud!! So I know planet audio isn't too bad. Can someone help me decide!!! I also know that I might wanna upgrade to 2 kicker l5 15's then when I do that, would the planet audio be able to push both? I know if I get the hifonics, and then 2 l5's imma just get another hifonics and have a amp on each sub

• Answer:

  on were did i read anything about the RMS rating or the class d amplifiers total RMS or how much RMS the sub woofers can handle.watts don't mean sht.the RMS rating is the continuous power an amplifier can make per channel or if its a class d amplifier its total RMS rating.and a sub woofer has the total RMS rating it can handle,if you have 2 sub woofers each with a RMS rating of 400 RMS each then you need a class d amplifier that makes 800 RMS to have a match for the sub woofers.this is what your looking for and at how many ohms your planning on running at and make sure the equipment can handle the load .most sub woofers are rated to run at a 4 ohm load.remember if you decide to run it on a 2 ohm load the lower the ohms the bigger the draw on your charging system and then your looking into alternator upgrades.go middle of the road kicker set up running on 4 ohms it plenty of bass,people that get fancy with the wiring most of the time cook there equipment either subs or amps go with what the equipment is rated for.and be safe not sorry.hope this helps.
