Is this amp overkill for 2 old school 8w1-4 boxed? If so what you recommend?

Man i wouldn't hook anything old school up the this amp it is a straight up beast. It shredded my JL 15w3 now I have it stroking a JL 12w6 and they say its a the best fit for the amp. Its my first professional system so i dont know what else to recommend, good luck mate.

I am running:4xInfinity Reference 6032cf 6.5-Inch 180-Watt High-Performance 2-Way Speakers (Two speakers on Channel 1 and Two speakers on Channel 2)1x Pyle PLPW8D 8-Inch 800 Watt Dual 4 Ohm Subwoofer (Bridge Channel 3 and 4)(Running a 10" would be better since amp can run it fine)

well if your looking to go to the peak power 1600 true watts i have 2 on a 1200 watt amp and they sound good id probably get a 1500 watt mono block hifonics amp the one thats one ohm stable and wire the subs to one ohm and they will sound great

I think you would either want one or the other, not both. From my experience, multiple amps are not complementary.

I think the amp should be fine but to make sure please ask an installer as well. thank you

i would not get this amp i blew mine within 5 months of having it along with 2 12s if i was you i would get a lanzar distinct half ohm monoblock amp it is used for comp and it is really reliable for the price

It'll certainly work and work nicely. If you're looking for a lot of power you may want to consider a unit with more wattage. If you are happy with moderate volume you're certain to enjoy this amp.

I'm running a 1000w Kenwood mono d series amp and it's doing a great job and sounds great. So I'd say 1000w to 1200w is the best safe route to go since it's only has a 700w RMS if your going for two though I'd say a 2000w would push them nicely

It all depends on what you want. Make sure the ohms are matched right. The more bass you want the more watts you want. I have a 1200watt and its only about half way up on the gain setting. Ported box.

My 2c here. I wouldn't run 2 sets of speakers off this amp. Even though it is rated at 8/4 ohms, I would just get a speaker selector. This is essentially a $150 amp. I wouldn't mess with it being that it is expensive. And overpriced imo.

This should be fine, however, I see no reason why you couldn't add another amp. It would just be a waste of money considering the amp in these is pretty good already.

If you are going to use a single 12" it is better if you get the dual 2 ohm as this will come down to 1 ohm and most amps would be 1 ohm stable in this power braket. 1000 rms at 1 ohm is good enough to shake this beast. Doesnt need more.i have used 2.5 and 3 cube boxes. 3 is better. It is not a low frequency sub so dont tune too low. 38 hz is lowest i would go. It is loud though !!! Excellent value for your money. Just remember to break it in well before you turn it up.

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

I used a boss 4000 watts hits hard for a cheap amp... Always have more power on amp then subs so you can hit hard it wont harm anything. Forget capacitors ... you need deep cycle batteries red optima .. one for alternator and one in trunk .. one amp per 12" .. Dobt forget to wrap ya doors and trunk with sound and heat barriers helps rattle .. Enclosed box best... for deep bass or open box for mid level

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

That amp would be perfectly fine for two of these subs wired at 2 ohms if yiu wire to 1ohm you may blow them though

go with one of the pioneer digital amps and you'll be happy, those amps are relatively small and push plenty of power
