The rms on the infinity is 300w, 150 is not enough to push that sub, especially if your putting the sub in the trunk of your car that has a gas tank separating the cabin from the trunk. I would go with a stronger amp, JL Audio Jx 500/1 is a great amp. I have this amp and it hits HARD! One more note do not install your sub in a cheap box, a good sub box makes a big difference.

Well infinity subwoofers are good with any amp. They are really great subs.

If your 150w is RMS I think it would be fine. If you find it not hitting as hard as you want you could always get a more powerful amp. The 611a I'm running two of these from has the level only set to about 60% and they're still crazy loud.

I'll preface that I'm no pro-audio expert, but based on how much this powers my 1 sub, I think this will be plenty of power for 2 subs, and still leave you 4 channels for the rest of your speakers. I would recommend shooting a call to your local best buy and just ask the geek squad car audio reps...they helped me even though I didn't buy it from them...they are actually the ones who recommended this amp versus one of they sell.

i have a 500 watt kicker amp on mine with 2 10s. works good no sub controls on radio except for on and off control. just turn bluetooth on and connect your device thats it works real well.

it will perform if you bridge it, 1400 watt or rms?check your sub if its near 200 rms it will do.

I bought the 1200 watt one for my sub and the 1000 watt for my four 250 w speakers. Now you need to check RMS on both your speakers and the amp...they should match or you will have issues. For me, it matched.

Depends on how many your putting in one of those kickers is rated at RMS 800 which is what the amp is rated at. If your using more then one sub I recommend a bigger amp. I have this amp hooked up to two 12 inch mtx and it strong all the time

not too sure i have it running at 1ohm and it's great, the amp pushed my Diamond 12" 400watt sub great, clean sound too, getting the Alpine SWR-12D2 12 next week I'll let you know well it pushes that. I have my doubts but only time will tell, I can tell you that's it's not 3000 watts tho, but from experience it's enough for a single 12" 400 watt sub.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

This amp will push that no problem if your sub is 1000 rms this might not be the p for you but if that's the peak power and your rms is between 300-500 you should be ok also you should know if your sub is a dual coil sub do not run it at 1 ohm or else you will blow the amp

I would consider this amp underpowered for your task. Look at its rms power and you should understand why.

I'd suggest a 1000 watt or 1600 watt alpine my amp I had blew cuz subs couldn't reach limit at 1600 watts rms so I figure since alpine knows alpine best use it!

Crutchfield has the specs as "Peak Power Output (Watts x Channels) 450 x 2". Peak wattage (in this case 900 watts) is important to be available during certain demanding parts of a song, but is not sustainable (Think of it like you're jogging and a dog starts chasing you. You can get a burst of speed to get away, but can't run that fast for a long period). The sustained/continuous wattage is what the RMS refers to. That is what the more important statistic is to look at and how most legitimate amps are rated. I have this amp and consider it very good, especially at this price point. Sorry if I got too off topic. Hope this helps!

Most definately. I am runing two kicker comps cv 12's 4 ohms and it sounds great. You are going to get great sound out of that setup provided your box for uour subs are made correctly. Good luck and enjoy.

What would a proper rms be? I have the sub wired to 1 ohm to my amp which pushes 1000x1 at 1ohm Thanks in advance, I never knew the sub would omit a electrical type smell while being broken in. (All my wiring is spot on accurate)

First off, what is the rms of that sub? This amp puts out 1200 watts rms at 2 ohms. Amplifiers work more efficiently when they are not wired to their lowest recommended impedance so i would feel comfortable saying that it would do its rated power. Issues: does your car have strong enough electrical to supply what this amp needs. At least upgrade the stock battery and use Good wire, OFC (oxygen free copper) 4 gauge at least, 0 gauge if you plan to run multiple amps. I would also suggest at least 12 gauge ofc speaker wire, i use 0 gauge ofc power wire, 8 gauge speaker wire, wired to 1 ohm, 2 batteries and a 4 channel amp as well. Knukoceptz wire and kinetik batteries. First off, what is the rms of that sub? This amp puts out 1200 watts rms at 2 ohms.

It should no problem i got 1 on my kicker 10" they sound better than 12"s it should be enough any class D from 500w to 1500w should fix you up....

Your amp should be about as twice the RMS rating as your sub. 1000w sub should have at least a 2000w amp supplying it. Otherwise your amp will have to work to hard to push the sub.
