Yes this amp will push your subs no questions asked. It's a very powerful amp with true wattage so it should do exactly what you are looking for.

Sorry and yes it will do it safely just tune it to the sound that you're looking for just not to the point of where you know it's going to cause or is causing damage to your speakers. I look at a amp like a car just cause it has 85 or 120 on the dash doesn't mean I have to drive it that fast or hard. Hopefully this helps you.

The worst enemy of a subwoofer is power if your over turn the amp down if your under buy a bigger amp

The Sub has a 450w max and 200w rms. You may have trouble with your sattalites. The sub has a really nice response. Takes alittle time to break in. also depends on where you put it, needs some room to breath...But you should be fine. Nice sounding..

Don't expect the amp to push the two subs to full potential... You're better off with a 4000w amp bridged and just power down to get good quality sound and some good thumpin power

I for an extra $70 went with the rockford fosgate prime 1200 Watt Mono block amp. It's a perfect match for the power handling of the sub (600 Watts RMS 1200 peak) for wiring kit I went with rockford 4 AWG wiring kit. It's a little more spendy than a lot of the wiring kits you'll find on here but it is WORTH it. I have it installed in my new subaru and it hits so hard people are in disbelief when I tell them it's a single 12 inch sub. Any 4 gauge wiring kit should work for that amount of power. You could even go 2 gauge if you want. You'll want at least 100 amp fuse on your power cord (from your car battery to your amp) this was all included with the rockford kit as well as high quality RCA's. If you go with a cheap kit you run risk of choking your sound quality. If your going to get it installed in a shop they will also point you in the right direction for a wiring kit. If your doing it yourself and have the extra money I'd go with the rockford kit.

Very loud with little wattage. They don't need but 150watts to each sub. Rockford Fosgate 500 2 channel amp is what I have pushing them. They will rock!!! I don't have them anymore sold car just left them in car. Down sized to 12" now Kenwood 12ps they are even louder without taking up my whole trunk.

I have it running 2 mtx 10" subs! Very pleased with it! I believe they are 500 watt 4 ohm maybe??? Don't totally understand how all that works! I just know it pushes them very well! Hope that helps!!!

No i fried this amp running 2 12"opti drive subs at 1ohm. Desent amp but cant take being pushed hard

O yea I'm pushing 2 boss 1400 watt 12" subs. The watt rating on your subs is the max they can take not how much they need to be powered

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 put one of these Kenwood subs in my fiancees' car and it sounds amazing! I would definitely recommend one of those over any Rockford Fosgate any day! I hope this helps you with your purchase. Thank you & God Bless!!! :)

It should be fine as long as your subwoofers are 4 ohm. The amp is 2 ohm stable and in fact supplies greater amperage at 2 ohms

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.

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.

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.

dual 2 ohm and you can always download or go on Rockford fosgate website and can get a wiring diagram for x amount of subs and ohm load and it will tell you final ohm load

Yeah, I agree with Claudio. It would push them but it would probably overheat and go into protect mode before getting anything near the SPL that those 2 12's can make. You should get a 1000 watt amp instead and run them with the gain turned down a little so that your subs don't distort. You'll have plenty of headroom for your amp as well so that it runs cool and smoothly with no signal clipping.

This should work with the mentioned rockford fosgate 1200x1 d amp. However if you are using this amp to power some subs the prime is rockfords lowest amp. I would suggest upgrading to the punch 1000x1bd amp you can get from best buy for a hundred dollars more or 200 more on amazon and will help tremendously.
