im gonna be running 3 of these in a ported sub box ..... my question is what size amp would i need to properly power these subs and i will be wiring them to run at 2 ohms

They don't take much ...a 1-2-3 channel amp 1200 watts is plenty of power for three of these ...look into cadence amps

I'm n it gunna lie man, they are over rated on the rms. I would say you could definitely pound 3 with 1800 rms constant. Be careful about amps on Amazon bro. Stay away from boss amps.

Well didn't look up specs but if your running 2 subs I wouldn't overrun the subs rms too much. I wouldn't put more than 1200 watts on them. Over powering even though they are underrated certain songs like jeezy will burn your subs. I am running 2 jlaudio jx1000/1 awesome amp. I blew my obsidian 18 with that amp. So they are 900 watts at 12v I'm running them at 32 hertz. Loudest system I have had. I would run 1 Rockford to two if that is 1250. I also run two batteries for the two amps. I think that is making all the difference running rf 3sixty.2 whole car is dymatted. Do 4 sealed. With the two amps. These subs sound better sealed. 4 sealed on 5000 watts will sound better than 2 ported on 5000. I do prefer my 32 hertz box but you can really see what they can do sealed. Better sq. Although the sq is flawless anyway. Best subs ever man for the money. Will eat an idmax

Ok, so the sub is 500W RMS and 4 ohms. That means that your amp will be sending it 350W. You will have 300W going to each of the "200W" 8's and 350W going to the sub. It should be fine unless you are over-driving the 8's - on music, there shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think I would run two of that sub because it is a 4 ohm sub. That would restrict your watts from the amp to about 300 watts output. If they were 2 ohm subs it would probably be fine. I am running one kicker 12" sub ported and it is a 2 ohm sub so I am getting 500 watt output.

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.

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.

It depends! At 1 ohm what's the output of the amp? If it's 1 ohm stable and pushing at least 750 watts then you good. Also depends on how many woofers. I would suggest only running 1 sub off it!

This sub can only be wired for 2 or 8 ohms since there are two 4 ohm coils. If they are series it will be 8 ohms and if they are paralleled it will be 2 ohms. The directions for this sub recommends a 1.75ft^3 for a ported enclosure ( with a 3" port 4.76" long) or a .75ft^3 sealed enclosure. I would have to know your boxes port size to comment on the enclosure you have.

I'm running two of these monsters with a 2500 watt amp and they're in a ported single box, I've found they aren't very good at hitting the lows. Get the sealed box, trust me.

Depends on your setup - if you are going to use it just for sub then 4 ohm, if you are going to use it multi channel, then 2 ohm. Caution, this amp shuts down easily when "overloaded" or too much current is drawn.

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)

no.. it will be under powered.. even if the sub were a dual 8 ohm, the lowest you could wire it is 4 ohm, then you'd still be getting half power. Sell your sub because unless you're going to run 3 of them or more, an 8 ohm is pretty useless. The other repliers obviously have no idea what they're talking about so I hope you didn't buy this amp for that sub haha

The speakers come with a book that shows you how to wire them for different ohm loads and I'm sure there are several diagrams avaible online as well but you shouldn't be hooking up subs to a four Chanel amp and not separate the voice coils out like that. I have 4ohm voice could and I believe there are more wireing options with the 4 ohm. I have 4 p2 connected to a one channel amp running at 2 ohms

Im not familiar with wiring 3 subs together, but this amp would be a great match. If you wire them down to 1 ohm, you will get roughly 2000 watts. You only need 1200. You can max out the knob at times if you want amd wont have to worry too much about puttin too much juice to em. If they're wired at 2 ohms, this amp will give em 1400 watts which is still sufficient.

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.

It will power 4 of ur subs if wired at 1 ohm. Wire ur subs at 2 ohm and ur subs are 1000 rms the amp at 2 ohms is 1300 rms. Its a great amp

This will do the trick with the right electrical n wire the two sub's down to 1,ohm this will do rated n ur sub's will sound amazing!!!
