can this amp power 2 sony xplod xs-gtr120l (1300max,380rms) subs or is it too powerful?

uff rather have to put the amp at half machine if you do not want to burn it down. I have that lower floor with 2 pioneer 350 rms and move it left the plant or heat and takes up almost no space small.

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

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'm powering 4 mb quart mids 125 rms and a kicker 12 with no problem. It would really depend on the impedence of your speakers and subs.

This amp will push that no problem if your sub is 1000 rms this might not be the p for you but if that's the peak power and your rms is between 300-500 you should be ok also you should know if your sub is a dual coil sub do not run it at 1 ohm or else you will blow the amp

you can run the two subs in series and have both subs get 400watts. Only if Your amp is 2 ohm stable.

It has more than enough power. You wouldn't use the full power of this amp.

I would NOT recomend this amp for a Sub Amp, at most it would be useful for small door speakers X2 , it would only push out about 25 - 35 RMS clean watts, That's equal to a powerful head unit.

This amp should power them just fine. It just wouldn't be to the speakers' full potential. I believe this amp is only rated at 1300 watts rms which would be a little shy of the 1600 combined that the subs would use To reach that full potential. Of course if you don't want to risk blowing out your subs, being just shy of the speakers rms rating would be ideal.

Its probably a bit over the top. I have mine powering a set of 1200 watt subs. You will just have to be careful that you don't blow the subs. The JL subs are all underrated so it will be close. I hope this helps

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

The XPA-5 will power these speakers. It will power almost any speaker. It was certainly enough to power my Martin Logan Vistas and Sources with a Martin Logan Stage center. The sub has its own power and receives it signal from your pre amp. The 200 watt per channel is more than adequate.

This particular amp can't produce a thousand watts, it's only a 500 watt amp. I think it's best since you're only running one sub to get the 2 ohm and just run you're amp at 500 watts rms. the p3's are 600 watts rms.

Yes. The slim line subs are usually easy to blow if overpowered. It's only rated 250 rms. So anything over 300 rms watt amp would be pushing it

I believe it should be more then adequate to power 2 12's. I'm no stereo guru but this amp should give you more then enough power and not blow your subs but give you all the bass you want. I've had the amp in my car since last Saturday and I have a single 10 inch bass inferno sub and this amp is more then enough for me. People think I have a 15 or multiple speakers in my car. It's a great amp so far. It also comes with a one year warranty from the manufacturer. The amp is great price,looks good and is light weight

At 2ohms this amp puts out around 1200 watts, those subs are probably rated at 400 rms each, if you set the gains right you should be okay but id go with the brx 1200

If you have a pair of these your options with this amp are 125w to each in stereo. Each sub is 4 ohms and the bridged x1 or (mono) operation for this amp is rated for 4 ohms x1 @ 450w for use with a sub. You have two subs both at 4 ohms so wiring the subs in parallel will create a 2 ohm load on the amp and it will quickly overheat. The manual states unfortunately that the bridged 2 ohm load cannot be used for a sub. I actually tried it and found it to be true with the amp heating up and going into protect.

Oh yeah definately its two ohm stable but if your sub is only 300 watts it may just be to powerful and blow your sub this amp is serious
