I purchased two of these what amp would be good to drive them and how should they be wired? 2ohm 4ohm 1ohm?

Probably 600 watt amp because i had a 1000 watt amp and they couldnt take it

Any amp under 2000 watts will work great. I have a 250 tma pushing my two and they sound awsome. Either 2 or 4 ohm will work just depends on what u like be careful.

To push them well you will want a external 4ch amp. But that's a good start and will totally work! Enjoy.

That amp is 4-ohm stable when brigded so if you're only running one sub then you'd get the dual 4 ohm sub, wire it to 8 ohms, then put that onto the brigded amp for a 4 ohm load. If you're running more than one sub the wiring could get tricky since you'd have to run in both parallel and serial wiring configuration. Search for wiring diagrams if you need further clarification.

Yea it wilk work id recommend getting a bigger amp tho. I got two of these wired down to 1ohm with a planet audio ac5000.1d so they are gettin around 1500rms each at 1ohm and man do they pound

It should work quite well. Pretty close to being the perfect amp for the job. I've looked inside and can say that it's built good and should Handel the 4ohm load very easily. I hope my answer is helpful

I have wired this amp in every configuration. I have never been disappointed. 2ohms is where i decided to run it and keep it that way.hope this helps.

whats your price range? you'd want a little more than 2k rms because you have to factor in box rise. Wiring down to one ohm wont necessarily give you 1 ohm, you'll get around 1.4 ohms in reality. I'd get a crescendo BC 2000, audioque 2200D or an american bass vfl 4480.1D

4 Ohms. So, you can either run them at 8 Ohms mono (wired in series), or 2 Ohms Mono (in parallel). Up to 250 Watts RMS. @4 Ohms, I have been able to pretty much bottom out mine with an amp that does around 150-180 watts. In the documentation JL provides, I believe they placed 200 watts as "the sweet spot". For best results, I'd probably get a 300-500 watt Mono subwoofer amp to run 2 as most can handle very low impedance loads. Also the CP208 is a long microbox with 2 of these 8 inch drivers built in. You might go for that instead and save a few bucks. The box is rated 2 Ohms.

Depends on how you wire them up. Perallel or in series. I have my single wired in Perallel which dropped it to 2 ohms and I am powering it with a Audiobahn A8000M that has a peak of 2200 watts and an RMS of 1100 watts. It sounds amazing. So if I were to power two subs I'd get a 2000 watt peak power 2 channel amp and bridge it at least.

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

You are too vague in your question. Can't help you out unless you give speaker info how do you have them wired 4 or 8 ohms/rms wattage/peak wattage. I have my amp hooked up in my house to kicker subs 500rms each at 8 ohm, they are plenty loud. just as load if not louder than my 1000watt car amp.

You may want to series the 2 voice coils to get 8 ohms, then run the amp in bridged mode. The 2 amp channels will see an equivalent of a 4 ohm load each.

Oh and I read other comments. About putting to 1 ohm. Bad idea. That's what I did. To my 2 15" boss subs and exploded the ass end of them. Then I bought two 15 3600 watt pyles and they work perfect. Lots I bass. And can handle more.

For that I'll get the 2 Ohm. But you can get the 4 Ohm and Put only 2 ohm later get a 2000 watt amp and put the 4 Ohm I'll do that maybe what you think? Thus that answer your question Alex

This amp puts out about 900 RMS and the speakers you have puts out 400 RMS a piece so it should sound pretty good just make sure you have the amp load at 2ohms or it will keep shutting off

Depends on ohms. The manual says 2x 2ohms 420 per channel. But usually budget amps overrate thier wattage. I got the 1000 watt works great.

IMO if you putting these on a aftermarket amp get some 4 ohm speakers to be more amp friendly. These are 2 ohm and probably best for factory replacements. As far as what amp to get i am guessing you are going low budget. MBQuart and hifonics make cheap good 4ch amps. Stay away from the wally world stuff and don't forget high level inputs or a line out converter. PAC SNI-35 great budget LOC
