Hi i just bought two 12 inch kenwood subs that have a 1000 watt max would one of these be good or no

Its good for the rms power output, but as long as u don't have everything (gain, bass boost) maxed it be alright. It does need good air circulation.

I would say no, this is pretty weak. I have one 15 or 17 inch sub and this doesnt compare to the previous one that I blew out. I'm not very knowlegable on other amps but because I have this one, I would say try to inquire about another one. lol

No it is not. Not worth the money. Go with mtx or something that has real power also. These are bad amps
1301077
I say it would work for you I have two 10 inch kicker comps hooked up to mine and I turned the amps power down to be cautious and it sounds great I don't know what these people are talking about its a great amp for the price

No its 1 channel it bumps but u would have to run one on the 1000 and one on the 3000 and its not a 3000 peak is only 2400 for some reason prolly so it dont fry.

RMS wattage for these subs is 250. So whatever amp you get that puts out 250 rms per channel would be good. I personally have an 800 watt peak power amp, not sure of rms, and they sound and work just fine. Hope this helps.

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.

It should work just fine the amp is 500 watts RMS at 2 ohms so you would need to wire the subs in series to get a 2 ohm load and maximize the Amps out put hope this was helpful thanks

How is that good tho? It hold these 2 12 subs? Cause if so I just a new sub 1100 wats! Would it power up the subs more?

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.

Your welcome. If your gonna run two subs, you might have to turn up the output to the subs if the subs are over a 1000 watts max each. Adjust to your liking.

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

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 believe those subs are 250 watts RMS. I would get the 1000.1 and run it at 1ohm. But make sure your subs are wired properly to run the amp at the correct ohm.

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

Depends what wattage they are. I have this amp powering 2 12in 700watt subs and it does great!

Bigger is always better really but these subs have a 700 watt RMS so it should work OK.

I Bought a kicker 1000w amps for mine. Give it plenty of amps so that nothing blows. I hooked up both my subs to that and they work like a charm!

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.

Worked fine for me with bass control knob for 208. I have similar set up in an SUV and was worried 300 watts would under power subs but they sound great to me. Would 500 watts to the sub sound better? Technically perhaps they would but I am picky about sound and am happy with 300 watts which according to my research is within the preferred range of power. Plenty of power for moderate listening levels. If you are into rap and need to boom or listen at very high volume then perhaps not.
