That depends on what speakers you use. I am currently running a set of hertz sv 165's in my lowers off just 2 channels of the nvx vad4 amp and they are loud with good sq.

If you're going to stick with the Kappas the go with the B52 amp because the Kappas are 2ohm. If you want better 4ohm speakers then go with the NVX and run it bridged to get the power that you need. I would not use the NVX with the Kappas. Not enough power at 2ohms and you cannot bridge that amp to power the 2ohm Kappas.

man you guys have been awesome got me thinking about adding lowers now.I guess im leaning towards a 4 channel amp due to wanting to put lowers on next winter. I am also leaning towards Hertz hcx in the fairings. This has escalated quickly.I would rather spend a tad more and do it better.

Another option is to use the B52, and still power (4) 4 ohm speakers well (2 x 250 @ 2 ohm), you just won't be able to use a fader, which you can't anyway without a HU flash and another BT 355.
I'm using a B52 to push (2) 8 Ohm PRV 8MB600FT's bridged and parallel (500w), and they are a hittin'!. I know they can handle more but in that Dyna fairing room is at a premium.
