What subs for this amp?
I have 2 Kicker Comp 12s and want some harder and smoother beats using 400w x2 @ 4Ohms. I have been looking at some power akoustics but am unsure.

then get 10's...IMO 12's are sloppy...my friend had 1 10" MTX 9500 and it was the loudest system ive ever heard its the best sub out on the market now beat the w7 in a durability and sound test.

im almost thinking it probably puts out 400w rms X1 bridged...

OP: whats the rating on the fuses on the side of the amp? as an fyi your ultimately going to want to run that amp at 4 ohms bridged so look for DVC 4 or SVC 8. and the 5500 is a better sub then the X
