[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8848688, member: 689267"] I’ve run a pair of K02’s for no other reason that I could not afford to buy the bigger K05 at the time I got the first K02, at around $399, the 2nd for $449? , both from DS18 refurbished off eBay (still less than a new 5K). I never bumped up to the 5 for that reason. I run my amps at 4 ohms as they are most efficient and the best damping at 4 ohms. They only work half as hard too. They are not “Cool” running but unless pushed hard, they don’t get too hot either (iv'e never had them shut down from thermal overlaod). They are very clean and tight, really like them a lot. Heavy units, built like a tank! ‘I’m only running a 320 amp alternator and a small extra battery in the rear. My feelings are if you’re going to run the 8K or 10K, you’ll likely need to go with an even beefier alternator and bump the 2/0 cable to dual 2/0 or single 4/0, new fuses/breakers and a Lithium Ion battery/bank to get the most out of that set up. I run the wire from front to the rear, about 15ft, both ground and power and upgrading all that is TOO much money! [/QUOTE]
