I need help finding a amp for a pair of KickerVR-CVR124. Doesnt matter what brand and im not looking for a huge anp to give me big power, just something that sounds nice.

you'll probably want either a mono amp stable at 1 ohm, or a stereo amp thats stable at 4 ohm bridged. this guy's perfect http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fus ... uct_ID=433 you can look into the faq section under good bad and ugly list for other brands. stick to the good list under amps and you'll be fine, and you can probably find somethin cheaper. also check out ebay for even better deals.

What kind of budget are you on so we know how much you can spend? If you dont have any of the wiring yet, you will need to factor that in too. I would suggest a 4gauge amp kit from Knu Konceptz http://www.knukonceptz.com

ummm i really dont want to spend over 400 on an amp. Finding one for around $300 would be good though.

You can look for a JBL GTO1200.1 and run it at 4ohm. If you want something cheaper, look into a Hifonics TXi7506. Bill Wolf (Bwcad1) is a dealer for them on here. My suggestion is to look at the good/bad list and look into those companies amps and find one in your price range. You could look for something in the 600rms to 1000rms range. I have seen Kicker cvr's take a good amount of power but, they dont need a whole lot to get loud. I had 2 old 15" CVR's on 300rms each and they got pretty loud.

when you say look for something in the 600rms range, what ohm are you talking about? I dont know anything about dual voice coil, maybe someone can explain....?

i already told you what ohm load to look for.

Ok well DVC just means that there are 2 voice coils each one is rated at the identical Impedence, yours i believe is dual 4ohm meaning that when wired in a Parallel you will present each sub as a 2 ohm load to your amp, since you have 2 you will either need an amp that can send 2ohm's by 2 ch or 1 ch at 1 ohm since if you add the 2 subs together both at 2 ohms you will gain a 1 ohm total load on your amp. Personally i would give about 400-700w of power to each of those Kickers and they should sing pretty nicely... I would say check with bill about a Hifonics Amp and you can get one from him that will put out those ratings.
