I’ve had my 1x12” Kone installed in a cabinet for a while using a small hifi amp for power and it worked fine for low volumes. Today I installed an icepower 200w amp inside the cab and I am blown away! There was limited info on how to set it all up and I am relieved to say it was as easy as I had hoped. I had to cut a hole for the power cord and wire up the input jack and speaker. Then it was go time! I was a little proud it worked on the first try haha!!
I had contemplated getting a Seymour Duncan power stage, but this was about $125 shipped and the SD was easily twice that used!!
If you are on the fence I say jump!
