Q: QuestionWill the Kicker Key 500.1 work with the Kicker Comp R 12” or will it be underpowered? 2ohm would be 300w rms and if wired at 1ohm it would get 500w rms. If this is correct what is the best option? Or should I get a different amp?

Asked 1 year ago by HELP.

• A:Answer The speaker loaded as-is, is presenting 2 Ohms. You would be limited to 300 watts RMS in this situation as the amplifier would see 2 Ohms. It would be slightly under-powered.
