1. Kicker Comp VR's PEAK out at 1000 each, no way in hell could they handle that much juice.
2. No Kenwood amp could ever deliver 1000watts, and that includes going downhill, with the A/C off, with 100 amps of current and getting struck by lightning. Try more around 400 actual power from that amp. Kenwood loves to overexagerate for advertising...hey, it obviously works to some people...haha
3. Get a Fosgate, seeing that's the only thing Best Try carries that is of decent quality. Yes there is a difference between the Fosgate lines carried at BB and smaller shops.
