I wouldnt even buy planet audio amps learn from my mistake. The amp gets too hot too fast then goes into protect mode. The only way to get the amp from not overheating is taking the back off and installing cpu fans to cool it down. I suppose u could use a 1200 watt amp if u split it 4 ways but I personally use an amp for subwoofers.

Let me know exactly what subwoofers you are trying to push. Also give me the RMS power and I'll be glad to help you. I have the 500 watt monoblock running a single 12" Punch P2-12 @ 2 ohms and it literally slams. My amp is rated @ 500 but according to the spec sheet, it produces 638 watts!!! RF is amazing quality stuff.

I have those boxes too. I did the same thing you did and yes they work just wire it correctly. For an amp do NOT get an 1100w amp. These are not even close to being able to handle that. get a good 400w amp.

This amp is only 75 watts at a 4 ohm load. I'm not sure how big your speakers are; however, I would guess that you want something a little bigger. If you can afford it I would recommend an Adcom amp.

This amp would definitely be able to run them. Probably not to their full potential, but I run two 12" and it sounds really good. I bought this unit for $100 and it was worth that. Not much more than $125.

I got two and I have a mono block spl 6000 watt so your gonna need something big and hook it up parallel not series to get the most out of the amp and do the same to the speaker if you get it but I love the speakers and wouldn't get a different brand for nothing

I'm no expert but I recommend Pioneer's 1300W amp. It will sound amazing with that!

A decent 50w+ x 2 amp should run them fine. As long as it is a good quality amp.

This should be fine, however, I see no reason why you couldn't add another amp. It would just be a waste of money considering the amp in these is pretty good already.

This amp is perfect for you're two 10inch subs . Make sure you load them to 1ohm.I have it installed in 2 12 type R's and it bumps.

Look at what the rms is on the sa-12. If its more than what the amp can do, thats preferred over it not being enough, just turn your gain down. I have an sa-8 thats 500 rms running off the 1ohm power of 1100rms from the amp, but only have my gain turned up about halfway. Never had any problems.

O yea I'm pushing 2 boss 1400 watt 12" subs. The watt rating on your subs is the max they can take not how much they need to be powered

These little cheap amps are awesome. But make sure you have suitable low wattage speakers with the same ohm resistance. The (LP-808) is pretty good for small speakers. Just remember that its a $20 amp and you get what you pay for when it comes to electronics. I am currently using a (LP-2020A) which I have had for over a year and it is perfect for my apartment. I found a decent pair of small bookshelf speakers and a small Bose subwoofer at the Goodwill and that setup sounds good if not better then other more expensive systems that I have had in the past. I personally would recommend the LP-2020A if you can find one. These little cheap amps are awesome. But make sure you have suitable low wattage speakers with the same ohm resistance.

That shouldn't be an issue. The amp is strong. Don't let the physical size of it mislead you. I would recommend it.

the most common rule you hear is add the rms for each sub and add 10% on just because amps lose power output over time. With this in mind just do the math to figure it out. hope this helps, i have two and i have 1200 watt mono block amp and it is plenty.

I am using this amp to power four 6x9 speakers. I think this amp will power two 12'' subs. If you want the subs to hit hard and the system to last, I would use a larger amp.
