Default What amp to use? any for sale?

I need an amp to power one kicker VR 12 in my 98 F150 extended cab. I made the box myself and has 1.5 feet of air. Anyone have suggestions, or one for sale that might fit the bill? Would like a quality amp. Thanks Mike 727-710-2748

Dual 4 ohm VC's? I have one and around 400RMS is pretty good for it. So if you have a mono amp that will put out around 400RMS @ 2ohms its perfect.

It is single voice coil and 400 rms. Thanks for any help. I am pretty dumb when it comes to audio.

Oh and if it is you are pretty much going to have to get an amp that pushes what you want at 4ohms RMS. Thats why I always go with DVC, gives you more options. Or you could get another sub like the one you have, but you'll still need a bigger amp.

Yeah, you really have no wiring options if you've got a single svc sub. Just pick up a mono amp that does what you want at 4ohms rms.
