4 Ohms. So, you can either run them at 8 Ohms mono (wired in series), or 2 Ohms Mono (in parallel). Up to 250 Watts RMS. @4 Ohms, I have been able to pretty much bottom out mine with an amp that does around 150-180 watts. In the documentation JL provides, I believe they placed 200 watts as "the sweet spot". For best results, I'd probably get a 300-500 watt Mono subwoofer amp to run 2 as most can handle very low impedance loads. Also the CP208 is a long microbox with 2 of these 8 inch drivers built in. You might go for that instead and save a few bucks. The box is rated 2 Ohms.

I have an alpine mrv-m500 amp that gives 500 RMS at 2 ohms. It still hits hard and sounds great. But as long as the amp can handle a 2 ohm load and has at least 600 RMS your fine I would check out some amps on here that have those specs and I only have one sub not two!!!

It Is Mono So It Is 400 RMS For Both Subs Not Per...And You Might Want More Watts...I Do...400 Does Not Get The Ultra Low Notes Enough Punch

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.

First what is your true wattage those amps are kicking out secondly you may want to invest in a bigger alternator running two monos also you may not even need 2 amps but if you must run both i personaly wouldt but i would say get 2 1 per amp ground both of them

If it is dual 4 ohm wire it in parallel and it will be a 2 ohm load on the amp which is 500 rms which should match it perfect

It will be fine. It's actually more than you need. Assuming you have a true 1100 watt rms amplifier, and correct wire sizes , clean connections , these drivers are only rated at 400 rms I think. So if your only running one be cautious on how much gain you use. Just remember it's distortion that kills drivers not to much power. Good luck

I would go with @ least a 1000.1 amp depending how many subs u plan on pushing they are competition speakers whatever you do don't hook them up & blast them they (swr-12d4) need to be slowly broken in I did 40hrs @ half setting on amp n volume

yes this amp would be perfect... 500 rms amp pushing 2x250rms should be good... you want the amp rms equal to the total sub rms

Well didn't look up specs but if your running 2 subs I wouldn't overrun the subs rms too much. I wouldn't put more than 1200 watts on them. Over powering even though they are underrated certain songs like jeezy will burn your subs. I am running 2 jlaudio jx1000/1 awesome amp. I blew my obsidian 18 with that amp. So they are 900 watts at 12v I'm running them at 32 hertz. Loudest system I have had. I would run 1 Rockford to two if that is 1250. I also run two batteries for the two amps. I think that is making all the difference running rf 3sixty.2 whole car is dymatted. Do 4 sealed. With the two amps. These subs sound better sealed. 4 sealed on 5000 watts will sound better than 2 ported on 5000. I do prefer my 32 hertz box but you can really see what they can do sealed. Better sq. Although the sq is flawless anyway. Best subs ever man for the money. Will eat an idmax

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.

Make sure you have high capacity alternator, 4gauge wire or bigger, and that your subs can be wired to 1ohm. I have mines running 2 alpine type-x 12's at 1ohm fine all day long. Great amp for the price. Best money I've ever spent on an amp.

I'm n it gunna lie man, they are over rated on the rms. I would say you could definitely pound 3 with 1800 rms constant. Be careful about amps on Amazon bro. Stay away from boss amps.

I would keep at 2ohm. I have 2 12's running at 2ohm. This amp lies about the power it has.

The advice from Henry is what I'd say and do. 4 Channel amp adjusted to your liking should sound good.

I wrote a review for them after buying 2 of them. match them with the SSL 4000.1 EVO amp and wire correctly... 4ohm and they will blow yer window seals out. if you try to wire down to 2ohm you WILL fry the VC's. 4Ohm is perfect and the 4000.1 EVO amp matches up perfect. just run them in series at 4Ohm and you will not be disappointed brother.

4 chanel with a min 150 watt rms rating, should do the trick, bigger is better you can always turn the gain down
