I am really thinking of getting this sub paired with the hifonics brx1400.1d amp, but i dont know what to get wiring wise any help?

Hifonics has brz1200 would also be good combo and cheaper. I have two of them pushing to type r 12 inch subs wired down to 1 ohm these amps are insane for the price

With that speaker the amp has to be stable at 1 ohm I ended up changing the sub to the 4 ohm one because of the dual voice coil it has actual 2 ohm. The amp I bought was only stable at 2. Just depends on what you like truly.

You can buy either a 8 or 4gage wiring sub wiring kit. I'm using a 4 gage with that sub.

I for an extra $70 went with the rockford fosgate prime 1200 Watt Mono block amp. It's a perfect match for the power handling of the sub (600 Watts RMS 1200 peak) for wiring kit I went with rockford 4 AWG wiring kit. It's a little more spendy than a lot of the wiring kits you'll find on here but it is WORTH it. I have it installed in my new subaru and it hits so hard people are in disbelief when I tell them it's a single 12 inch sub. Any 4 gauge wiring kit should work for that amount of power. You could even go 2 gauge if you want. You'll want at least 100 amp fuse on your power cord (from your car battery to your amp) this was all included with the rockford kit as well as high quality RCA's. If you go with a cheap kit you run risk of choking your sound quality. If your going to get it installed in a shop they will also point you in the right direction for a wiring kit. If your doing it yourself and have the extra money I'd go with the rockford kit.

I have the r 1200 fosgate prime amp with a 140 amp circuit breaker with knukoncepts 4 gauge power and ground 12 gauge speaker wire. The hifonics amp is to much power for that sub.

Its hard to explain the wire hook up. Go on crutchfield sub wiring diagram and it will explain to you how to wire subs with certain loads with any amp. Just select your setup and it will show you exactly how its done

If you have a 2ohm amp you need a dual 4ohm speaker to match it. A dual 4ohm speaker run in parralel come down to 2ohm and oairs well with the speaker. I would put at leat 600 rms and as much as 1200 rms on this sub not 1500 by the way.

hello i would use one for the jrx225 wired to main outs of mixer for left and right and one for the 218"s switched to sub on the back of the amp and wire the inputs of the sub amp in parallel with a xlr y adapter and run to a sub out on mixer or a aux send so you can send just the bass guitar drums keys ect to the subs while the mains you can have more room for the vocals guitar and whatever you are usingi call this sterio output with sub discrete

Nope. I have a hifonics 1000rms and its jist perfect. So beat bet, get one good amp or 2 decent ones for those subs. But i omly have one and people hear me a few blocks out.

Well the impendance is very important to have correctly matched between the sub and amp. Since your amp is for 2 ohms, you need a 2 ohm sub. Or get a 4 ohm amp to be comparable with this sub

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.

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

I installed 2 of theses in a sealed box and run them off a Hifonics ZRX1200.1D Zeus. They sound great! Bass is clean and hits hard at 2ohms.

It would probably be best to hook it up to your radio because your amp to the sub sends more bass notes than what you cant get with your radio. But you can hook up another amp just for these

If you have a pair of these your options with this amp are 125w to each in stereo. Each sub is 4 ohms and the bridged x1 or (mono) operation for this amp is rated for 4 ohms x1 @ 450w for use with a sub. You have two subs both at 4 ohms so wiring the subs in parallel will create a 2 ohm load on the amp and it will quickly overheat. The manual states unfortunately that the bridged 2 ohm load cannot be used for a sub. I actually tried it and found it to be true with the amp heating up and going into protect.

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

I put in the Pioneer FH-X700BT in my car. I have one of these subs to replace the busted stock one. It powers it enough for the low notes but would recommend an amp for multiple of these.

I wouldn't hook up an inferior amp to a sub like this... I would go either JL audio or sundown brand max 2000 Watts mono block.. I personally use an SAZ1000 and it works perfectly

Thank you for asking. This sub is designed to take a line level signal. Without a preamp of some sort like a small mixer an iPod will not reach the potential of this amp and speaker, however you make get something from it if you had a cable that is 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo on one side and dual XLR on the other. You would need some mains for it to sound right as this is only a subwoofer so it does not provide full range audio.

I'm running 2 kenwood excelon subs rated at 300 each. The jx 1000 has more power than they can handle but they sound great. It's better to have to much power than not enough. I think your subs would be a good match up for this amp

As far as l know (also based in my experience), a different amplifier won't increase the bass drastically (you might get better control of it, though). I would rather invest in a different pair of HPs. May l ask you what type of bass would you like to increase? Sub-bass, mid-bass? Have you tried to EQ it (with Foobar2000, for example)?
