Sorry stereo dummy here.   I installed the kicker sub and amp kit last year.   It has now died.  Just get an occasional rumble out of the sub woofer.   I belive its the amp. I tried a different sub with the same results.

 

I called kicker and you can't just buy the amp u have to buy the whole kit.

 

Any issue running the same sub woofer ( sticker on woofer shows 1 ohm) and the enclosue with a different amp  if run larger power wire to the new amp from the battery.  Plan on using the same line outputs the kicker kit used. (Yellow and yellow with stripe up by the pass front door kicker panel.  That's where the kicker kit connected. 

 

Also will have to run a remote wire to an accessory powered fuse I belive.

 

Thoughts.?

As long as the amp is 1 ohm stable, you should be fine. That surprises me a little that sub is 1 ohm.

Looks like it's dual 1 ohm, so maybe it's wired series to 2?

I do see Kicker amps (such as 42PXA2002) list as 1 ohm stable, so maybe they were doing 1 coil per channel. You could wire them in series to increase your options with mono amps. The sub looks like this?

THANKS

 

Still seems weird that you cany buy a replacement amp for the kit from Kicker.

 

Plug and play would be nice when there is an issue.

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
