    But if u truly wanna go with the dx500 don't be surprised when it clips out shuts down constantly and probably cause ur subs to blow from distortion I'm a fan of kicker as well but they don't make one ohm stable amps anymore the only way u can run the dx500 is if u use one for each

    And I don't want to come off as an asshole or nothing with any of my post I'm just trying to give advice I've been installing for 12yrs and I went to shool for it bout 6 yrs ago so I could learn about the alarms and remote starters I'm an advanced mecp certified tech. I've been down the road with people telling me I got this amp and I wanna push these subs but it works for a Lil but if that and then they r mad because it doesn't work and FYI if u want y not got with the kicker comps they are sometimes 100 for 2 and then u can run the dx500 and b all kicker once again I hope I haven't been sounding like a douche just trying to give my advice

    The DX500 will push those subs happily as long as he get the amp tuned with an o-scope then nothing bad will happen to any of it. Granted it isn't anywhere near the max rms the subs can handle but it'll still sound good.

    It still does not account for the fact that the dx500 is 2 ohm stable while the he can run the cvrs at 4 ohms but he wouldn't get nearly the sound he would expect.

    Like i said back a few posts. I'm gonna get one of those amps from my buddy. I just need to be sure on subs and find wire. Ill eventually upgrade my amp but for now i need cheap. which one of the amps i listed would be the best? BTW: ive looked at that hifonics and i think i would be OK because it has the remote just like kicker offers. What do you think about the hifonic amp with the subs i linked earlier warhorse?
