I just bought two of these subs. What Boss amp should I buy to runs these?? I also want to add two 6.5" speakers toward the front of my car.

Anytime you have speakers, the amp should either match the watts or more to carry the load. Never use a amp less then the watts of the two or more. If they are a 1000 watts a peace, you need 2000 watts or more so you can get all they are made for. You welcome! They are good speakers. I have them hook up to a Boss 3000 watts amp.

I run them off my head unit, use the included crossover so do not use your amp or head unit cut off, I run this with infinity natchingg 6x9 in back and old 10"jl sub, if I turn off the sub it sounds great! And again this running off a Kenwood head unit just mid range not even high end unit.

Just my 02 since I have them. Mine are hooked up to a low power amp. 45wpc if I remember right. That sound good but do not produce a lot of bass. I'm thinking without an amp they would produce even less bass. Hopefully someone has tried them without an amp. The good point on these is I'm hearing far more detail in the music than I ever heard from 2 way and 3 way all in one speakers. I would recommend them even without an amp for that reason. I have the tweeters mounted on the plastic cover behind the side mirrors. It's easier when you keep the wiring within the doors.

Get a seperate amp. If my stock one was a 2/10, after speakers and a head unit id rate it a 4/10. But the amp jumped it to 8.5/10. AMP is a HUGE difference

Save your money and buy a real amp, planet audio is garbage and will push no where near 4000 watts. If you are going to run a 2 ohm final load, look in to something like a Kicker ZX1500 amp. This amp will push over 1500 true watts at 2 ohm, that would be over 750 to each sub, plenty of power for these. My Kicker ZX1500 came with a birth sheet with a factory tested 1789 watts. You can pick up one of these amps reasonable on ebay if you shop around. I paid $250 for mine used but was in new condition.

I smoked 4 boss audio subwoofers in a week on a 600 watt amp, they are junk do not buy them. The Hi Fonics are by far way better. If you want a good amp for a good price that will push these hard go with a 3000 watt crunch amp Lanzar is another good one that people do not know about that makes great cheaper amps. You go with either of those two amps in the 3000 watt range for a mono, and your going to thump hard as anything out there short of L7S. I had two of these with a 3000 watt crunch and lanzar bridged down to 1ohm and they were insane.

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!

It looks as if this amp is only 600 watts. I would go with a 2000 watt amp for 2 of the subs. I even had a Kenwood 1200 watt amp pushing just one.

I down graded from 2 Fosgate P3's to a single sub to get a little bit of trunk space back (2006 Sentra). I think the sub sounds damn good for just one. I have it in a 1.25 sealed box, hooked up to a Alpine 500W mono amp turned only to half gain with a remote bass knob. I have nothing negative to say about the sub.

I have these speakers in my car without an amp and an amp wired separately to my subwoofer. Each run perfectly fine. Speakers won't have as powerful bass without the amp, but with 2 subs all the speakers should be handling is the mids and highs anyway.

I really like my alpine PDX-V9. It'll also power at least one sub. One of the most advanced amps out there

No this is subs. You're going to need new back speakers. Get some quality 6x9s for those and get a good watt amp at least 1400 for these bad boys

I dont know what you people are pushing with a BOSS AMP, and I see people saying use a capacitor its pulling too much power, breaking windows, but I see them using BOSS SUBS, and DUAL SUBS, were talking all cheap products people and CLASS D SHOULD NOT DIM YOUR LIGHTS OR DRAIN YOUR BATTERY, and its of course no where near 4000 watts, its a couple hundred watts. Get a DIGITAL ALPINE SUB AMP and your system will sound CLEAN, LOUD and your LIGHTS WILL NOT DIM OR KILL YOUR ALTERNATOR or catch your car on fire LOL

I have my sub connected to a BOSS 1100Watt amp in my SUV. As of right now I only have one sub and it is loud and has an amazing bass to it. If you are looking for a sub that is loud and has no limits on what sound and bass it captures this is definitely the sub to go with. I enjoy my BOSS system so much I am ordering another sub and box.

The amp choice is really up to you and how many subs and how are you going to wire them up. I have one 12" Type R 4ohm sub wired to 2ohm. Using a Hifonics Zeus 1800 watt mono amp. Assuming that the amp is "actually" capable of pushing 1800w at 1ohm. It should be pushing 900w to the Type R. It sounds amazing in the trunk of my 96 Impala SS. Go with the 4ohm sub if youre going to use two subs, wire them down to 2ohm and find an amp capable of pushing a solid 2000w. Amps will state total power at 1ohm, 2ohm will be half that.

i read some other guys doing it, but i think you will be a little weak on power, and i had a problum over heating when used at 90% gain. i had to back down to 60%to solve the over heating auto shut down, its a nice clean amp and at 60% it will push my 4 polk audio db651s very very loud and clear....i have 2 8in subs that will shake the car using a boss R1100m amp .....myself ,go with 2 amps, or just one on the subs and the fullrange off the head. the boss is low cost ,and has been getting thrashed 2 hrs a day 6 days a week for almost a year and every thing in the car works as new...... hope this helped i read some other guys doing it, but i think you will be a little weak on power, and i had a problum over heating when used at 90% gain. i had to back down to 60%to solve the over heating auto shut down, its a nice clean amp and at 60% it will push my 4 polk audio db651s very very loud and clear....i have 2 8in subs that will shake the car using a boss R1100m amp .....myself ,go with 2 amps, or just one on the subs and the fullrange off the head. the boss is low cost ,and has been getting thrashed 2 hrs a day 6 days a week for almost a year and every thing in the car works as new...... hope... » Read More i read some other guys doing it, but i think you will be a little weak on power, and i had a problum over heating when used at 90% gain. i had to back down to 60%to solve the over heating auto shut down, its a nice clean amp and at 60% it will push my 4 polk audio db651s very very loud and clear....i have 2 8in subs that will shake the car using a boss R1100m amp .....myself ,go with 2 amps, or just one on the subs and the fullrange off the head. the boss is low cost ,and has been getting thrashed 2 hrs a day 6 days a week for almost a year and every thing in the car works as new...... hope this helped « Show Less

Well I'm just hooked up to the typical base line boss amp. I'd go with that one. I've been running it for at least 6 months now.
