The woofer itself is 8 inches diameter. For the exact size of the box, look at JL audio's website. I am feeding it 500 watts rms but I believe anything 150 - 200 watts RMS will give you optimum results.

The sub is 8 inches but it sounds like a 12inches .great bass a little pricy but I'm happy with it. As far as the amp I have a alpine 250watts. Just right for my honda.highly recommend it.hope I was helpful.

The sub is an 8 inch, but it kicks REAL hard. It's a really good sub if you don't have a lot of trunk space to spare. You should buy an amp with an RMS rating of 250W, as that's what the sub can handle. Make sure it's the RMS rating and Not the "max power" rating.

It's an 8" sub and I've been using a plain old Kicker 100w amp. They have been working great for almost two years.

Spec sheet in ad says "yes". I don't use a sub. I'd double check and look at the manual online.

Hi Eric,I will certainly recomend a seperate amp to power this sub. I tried bridging speakers and adding the sub. It just drew to much from one amp. The amp was getting to hot and shutting down. I chose to go with the Kenwood KAC-5206. This sub sits behind the passengers seat in a 97 Ford Ranger. And man this thing THUMPS!

2 ohm, I have dual 12s both running 2 ohms with a 3000 watt amp, sounds amazing and I'm still breaking it in, but 2 ohm in my eyes is for more than one sub to divi the power more equally

I am using this amp for 2 4000 watt subs. Might be a little strong for 1 2700 watt. I also have 2 1300 watt subs powered by a 1000 D class amp that sound great. If you're only using the one sub, I recommend a 2000-3000 watt amp. Take a look at the AC3000.1D. Should be plenty of power. AND, cheaper. Hope you're his helped.

This is basically a 2-ch (posts are connected internally) I would recommend the Lepai LP-168HA 2.1 2 x 40-Watt Amplifier and 1x68W Sub Output.

If you are going to use a single 12" it is better if you get the dual 2 ohm as this will come down to 1 ohm and most amps would be 1 ohm stable in this power braket. 1000 rms at 1 ohm is good enough to shake this beast. Doesnt need more.i have used 2.5 and 3 cube boxes. 3 is better. It is not a low frequency sub so dont tune too low. 38 hz is lowest i would go. It is loud though !!! Excellent value for your money. Just remember to break it in well before you turn it up.

The power on the rca out for the sub is intentionally low for clarity. A small amp should be used with it. I would recommend an all in one like the kicker bass station. Its a hundred watts built into the box. But im pretty sure you will need an amp for any sub connected with the rca, otherwise I would just wire it to the higher power outputs and omit the rca outs.

Depends on how much power you are putting into the system. I have two of these on an AQ1200. But they could take more. If you want more volume at lower rms, use two subs. Double cone volume-> 3db, double rms-> 3db. 6db I'd twice as loud to the human ear. As far as sound quality I think these aren't the most accurate subs but they definitely could be a lot worse. If you listen to lots of rap and boomy sounding bass, go with this sub, ported at 35hz in 1.5 to 2 cubic ft of box

not at its best. but you wont have to worry about blowing this sub with a amp like that. i recommend powerbass when it comes to amps

I don't own the car you do, but I can vouch the the sub can put some real bass into a sedan. It is also possibly small enough to stash near or under a seat. But overall bass performance will also relate to what you are listening to. Personally, for best results, I'd probably get two and make sure you have about 200 watts. But the sub can really hold its own most of the time.

I would get two 4 ohm subs. I have two 4 ohm single voice coils Kenwood subs running the amp in series and it sounds great. Getting two 2 ohm subs might bring the impedance too low. Hope this helps.

I would suggest a mono block amplifier. With those subs this amp will reach thermal shutdown in 20 to thirty minutes

Bryce, I run a planet audio 2600 watt amp on my two 10" subs and its plenty of power. I know multiple people who have had great luck with planet audio so far and they're inexpensive.

Dude any amp will work with your subs but I'd you want the most power wire your subs to one ohm. I have two infinity 12 inch dual voice cola hooked up to this running one ohm resistance and it's so loud it out powers my speakers if I crank it

You need at smaller amp, this is to much power for you single sub, I got this amp with two vm audio 12 ',3000 watts each one, this amp got enough power to hit very hard my subs, imagine your single sub, will blow out

Some where around 1500. The amp is amazing! It got stolen along with my 2 15inch DB drive platinum series subs less then a week of having it =( I def will be buying another!
