could i use a kenwood kac-5001ps class d mono amp with a 500w rms at 2ohms with this sub?

Yes you could! This sub will go great with anyrhing!, I honestly can say that. But I do recommend that since you are pushing a class d amp don't have the gain turned all they up until you play for at least 40 hours. But all that will be in the instruction manual.

Yes, it should.. that sub is 300-1000 watt rms,, I personally wouldn't use that amp but it should work. With my experience with kenwood is that when you push them to there max they tend to cut off and get pretty warm. To be honest that sub is to much for that amp, your better off saving money and getting the alpine sws-12d2... that would be better for that amp. Unless you plan to upgrade your amp in the future with the type r,I would get the sws12d2, to save money and have the same power..

You'd be better off with this amp: Rockford Fosgate R500X1D Prime 1-Channel Class D Amplifier

Yes. This is a powerful amp at 2ohms. Be sure your subs are 2 ohm capable. This amp will come with a birth certificate. Usually test over 2600 watts.

I have the r 1200 fosgate prime amp with a 140 amp circuit breaker with knukoncepts 4 gauge power and ground 12 gauge speaker wire. The hifonics amp is to much power for that sub.

I run a mtx jackhammer on mine in 2ohms running 600 RMS all the time. This sub will take the power. You willve working that amp. It will push the sub...but maybe for about 4-6 months before heating issues take its toll. It will work...but I would put a mono or 2 Chanel amp.

You can run both of them just fine. And you'll benefit from a final 4 ohm load to get the 500 watts. Follow the directions here.... http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2SVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg

The short answer, yes. If you look at the spec sheet for this amp you will see that it IS rated to run a pair of 2 ohm speakers in stereo. With a 2 ohm load the amp is rated for 150w x 2 RMS. This exceeds the ratings on your speakers. If you just turn the gain down a bit and keep them at reasonable levels you should be fine.

I would consider this amp underpowered for your task. Look at its rms power and you should understand why.

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.

Technically yes, but it will be under powered. If this is a 2-ohm sub woofer it will be under powered by 200 W if its a 4-ohm it will be under powered by 600 W. Under powering your sub woofer could potentially burn up the amp though.

Yes is class D amp and is suitable to run tops of mid level at least 450 watts rms in 8 ohmns not ideal for tops of 1000 watts rms or greater

You can mono block the sub with one amp and u will need a second for the 4 ohm ones. There are a series of switches on the back for whatever suits your needs. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/214185/Behringer-Europower-Ep2000.html. I have 2 - 2000s and 1 - 4000. These amps are very versatile!

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.

Yep. Try to get a 4 ohm total load to the amp (A pair of 4-ohm/coil DVCs will do it). 400-600wrms subs with a low Q would be ideal for your application. These amps have awesome crossovers (24db/oct) built in. Cheers

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

Yes, I have two Kenwood 12 " subs and it sounds as good as wheni had a High Powered Kenwood reciever hooked up. You will need an amp if you have not installed one yet. The amp makes for any difference.

Robby I wouldn't suggest it as this amp is specifically designed to drive sub woofers. It would work if you were going to build a band pass enclosure and use a couple 6.5" drivers for your deep bass frequencies.
