Yes it would if you go on sonicelectronix the have wire diagram references for subs

Hello.. I recommend this sub for an amp with les than 500 w rms .. I blew 2 of these 1 at a time at 1 ohm with a BD punch 500.1 competition amp.. rated at 500 w rms.. Amazon returned the first sub thinking maybe it was defective. When the second sub blew I through in the towel. Now using a jl w 7 12...

That amp should drive this sub better than most, both are great products so in theory yes it should give you some great sound

I have this exact setup in a custom 2.25 cubic foot ported box tuned to 34 hz and it pounds all day

Wire the sub at 2 ohms if it's possible. Makes the amp put out max power and sub slap. If your sub is not a dual voice coil 4 ohm, get one.

I would not recommend this amp. I was powering 2 12 inch digital design subs. It over heated all the time, would randomly shut off and blew on my with only using it for about 3 months and it was not bridged I would prefer a rockford amp they are a little bit more but worth the money

Yes, I would suggest an amp. I bought a 5 channel amp with a sub out since this reciever has 5 channels out. It works great with Rockford Fosgate subs. Nice tuning abilities when you use an amp too.

You need to dual voice coil 4 ohm with that amp. You can only drive as low as 2 ohms stable with that sub set if you try for 1 ohm you will end up with a 1/2 ohm load. And the amp is not rated for that

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.

Eric, go with the Rockford Fosgate Prime 250x1 mono block amp. It has a very small footprint, very affordable, and these amps, in my opinion, are still one of the best on the market. These amps are always underrated, come with an actual RMS rating tested by the manufacturer, and will be plenty of power to push a 10" sub. It will not disappoint.

This amp is good for any subs, the factor is to get the Ohms as low as possible so you can get advantage of the full power. If you can get 1 ohm you will get the full 1100 Watts. What are your subs specs?

I would stick with manufacturers recommended spec. This amp puts out 475 watts so might be to much for your sub

I don't know, that would depend on your personal preferences. I bought mine to replace two 12-inch full-range speakers in a 1950's console stereo cabinet. They are driven by a Pyle PTA2 amp ( only7 watts per channel rms, 20watts per channel peak) and they rock in a small 12'x 15' room. I have one other set of the same Rockford Fosgate speakers in two diy wood cabinets (connected to another Pyle PTA2) and they also have really good volume with no noticeable distortion. If it were me I would see how your set-up works for you and add an amp if you are not happy that. Hope that helps.

JBL subs can truly HANDLE their RMS power (wattage) rating. Power comes from the amp, so the cleaner the amp, the better the sound at all levels. These are really efficient subs, so they'll be pretty loud with 300-400 watts RMS to each sub in a ported box. With a sealed box, give them no more than 500 watts RMS each. But yes they play clean... Rockford Fosgate P2 & P3 subs will pound harder and be more durable, but JBL subs are better for clarity & accuracy. They'll still slam but they aren't tanks. With two of these GTO1214D dual voice coil subs wired parallel to 1 ohm, you'll draw some good power from your amp, just make sure your amp is stable down at 1 ohm. If it's not, get the regular GTO1214 subs for a 2 ohm final load on the amp.

According to their website, this would be a good choice of power for the speakers. 75wrms @ 2Ohm for each speaker and 300wrms @ 2 ohm for the sub. Make sure that the sub is 2Ohm, though. When you receive the amp it will come with a QC sheet explaining each power rating. Just make sure you tune it properly and it will work well. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r600x5

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

Yes, it will push them just fine. I had mine pushing two 1000w Alpines and now it's pushing one 1200w Rockford Fosgate 15. You don't want to max out your subs anyway. Just match the rms and you'll be fine.

I am planing on buying 2 of these subs this week & I have a Hifonics Brutus 1000 watt stable @ 1 Ohm amp ....to push these babies , am I going to run into problems ???

i have rockford T1000 db 2 chaneel and 3 jl w6 12' i run them on serial to 4 oz because it sound better but in you case i dont know what tipe amp do you have and what sub do you have

Make sure you have high capacity alternator, 4gauge wire or bigger, and that your subs can be wired to 1ohm. I have mines running 2 alpine type-x 12's at 1ohm fine all day long. Great amp for the price. Best money I've ever spent on an amp.
