What would be the perfect amp for these subs?

At least a 300 minimum 2 channel amp. It says peak is 600 watts if you blast it. I ran a 800 watt kenwood and it works just fine. I dial it down so it's running around 60-75% max power so my amp doesn't have to work hard and the bass still hits hard.

Budget wise connect all four speakers to channels 1 & 2 and bridge 3 & 4 for the sub. It would work, but as to get the best performance from your speakers and sub I would have gone with a slightly more powerful amp. If you gots the cash, buy mono block amp cause that makes a difference. I know this amp all too well. Connected things all different ways to test for perfromance.

any kind of speakers actually, but make sure the speakers can take in the amount of watts they advertise. if you have 2 subs, im guessing 4 ohm subs, you possibly could have wired them in parallel giving you a one ohm load therefore all 1600 watts went into those speakers ultimately blowing them out. heres what you should do, if your blowing up subs constantly get two 4 ohm subs and wire them in parallel each so they receive a 2 ohm load, therefore roughly 1200 watts will be going into the subs, about 600 watts each sub this amount of power would be good for some 15 inch subs rated at 500 watts rms. if you have smaller speaker like 12s, 4 ohm, you can wire them at 2 ohms but if your scared of blowing them out then wiring in series is always an option. heres what I recommend, get 2 15s kicker CVR they are the greatest beginner subs out there. if you already have this amp then your golden, wire those speakers up at 2 ohms with this amp, adjust your gains until you get your desired sound with no distortion whatsoever and you'll be good.

The best amp wattage would be right around 3200 cause they peek at 1600 each speaker. I made the mistake of only getting a 1800 watt kenwood which is a good amp just not enough power. No matter what they will bump though

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

The bass on these subs is tremendous. You just need to make sure you have enough power to support them because they hit hard. Very hard. Personally I would pick these, not because kicker is bad, just fosgate is better.

Just as long as your sub and speakers watts/rms all adds up to about 300, you should be good. Bridge the sub to get more oomph. But this can have your speakers with less power. You don't want to overload your amp. IMHO, get a mono amp that will power your sub and leave this 300w amp for your other speakers. It's what I did.

If you have a 2ohm amp you need a dual 4ohm speaker to match it. A dual 4ohm speaker run in parralel come down to 2ohm and oairs well with the speaker. I would put at leat 600 rms and as much as 1200 rms on this sub not 1500 by the way.

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

60-120 rms speakers would be ideal. i have 2 sets of polk db6501 rated for a 100 watts rms and this amp pushes them great without problem in prolonged load listening. don't worry about under powering a speaker that is why they have controls on the amp and the only way you can under power the amp is to not supply it with a large enough power and ground wire

I wouldn't hook up an inferior amp to a sub like this... I would go either JL audio or sundown brand max 2000 Watts mono block.. I personally use an SAZ1000 and it works perfectly

I power this sub with a 500 watt max mono kicker amp. These subs can handle more in my opinion so far since I've had it

I'd suggest a 1000 watt or 1600 watt alpine my amp I had blew cuz subs couldn't reach limit at 1600 watts rms so I figure since alpine knows alpine best use it!

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.

This amp will be perfect for this. I purchased it to power my two JBL GTO-1214s and they really pump.

Right now I have a 12" MTX sub that I enjoy just for the smooth bass, but I want to upgrade to a 12" Infinity Kappa sub. I would say a sub no more than 1200 watt max will satisfy.

I'm running 2 kenwood excelon subs rated at 300 each. The jx 1000 has more power than they can handle but they sound great. It's better to have to much power than not enough. I think your subs would be a good match up for this amp
