U need to run 1 ga wire with that amp its a little power hungry. Scar audio makes a wire kit wit fuse and every thing u will need for a reasonable price i use it in my sons truck with no issues should solve your problem. Im not a expert but hooked my sons up with 4 gauge till the 1 ga kit came in and had issues. Hope this helped
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That is a big motor driver, heavy moving parts, low sensitivity that will require big power to wake it up. Box design can affect overall output and power requirements as well. (Sealed vs ported, enclosure volume, tuning, etc.) If you have four of these drivers wired down to 1-ohm, the CXA1800.1 should be providing about 450 Watts RMS (+/- 10 % at 1-ohm) to each speaker (1800 Watts RMS +/- 10 % at 1-ohm); about half the speakers rated 900 watts RMS (4 speakers x 900 watts RMS = 3600 Watts RMS). For maximum performance from any speaker, Kicker recommends using + or - 20% of the RMS rating of the speaker, so in your case that would be 720 - 1080 Watts RMS per speaker. I would recommend reaching out to KICKER Tech Support to discuss your system and find some helpful guidance. [email protected] or call 405-624-8510, Mon-Fri, 8:00 - 5:00 Central time. You may want to contact SKAR and discuss your enclosure and make sure it is built to their recommendations concerning enclosure volume and tuning.
